Enable or Disable Call Answering Rules on a UM Mailbox Policy

  • Article

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

You can allow users who are associated with a Unified Messaging (UM) mailbox policy to create call answering rules, or prevent them from doing so. If the option to create call answering rules is disabled on a UM dial plan, the Call Answering Rules feature won't be available to UM-enabled users associated with the UM mailbox policy. The default setting is enabled.

Call Answering Rules aren't available to UM-enabled users who have a mailbox on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging server.
