Enable PIN-less Logons for UM-Enabled Users
Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2
In Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, you can set up Unified Messaging (UM) so that your users can log on to their voice mail without using a PIN. By default, Outlook Voice Access users are prompted to enter a PIN to log on to their mailbox and access their voice mail, e-mail, calendar, personal Contacts, the directory, and personal options.
To enable PIN-less logons, you must set the parameter AllowPinlessVoiceMailAccess to $true
on the UM mailbox policy and set the parameter PinlessAccessToVoiceMailEnabled to $true
on the UM mailbox. By default, both parameters are set to $false
, which requires an Outlook Voice Access user to enter their PIN when they access their voice mail.
Setting both parameters to $true
allows you to enable PIN-less logons for a large group of users who are associated with a UM mailbox and also enable PIN-less logons for a single UM mailbox or a subset of UM mailboxes. Even if you enable PIN-less logons for a group of UM-enabled users or a single UM-enabled user, when they access their e-mail, calendar, personal Contacts, the directory, or personal options, they'll be prompted to enter their PIN.
To enable PIN-less logons to voice mail for a user, the following conditions must be met:
You must have run the following cmdlet on the UM mailbox policy:
Set-UMMailboxPolicy -id MyUMMailboxPolicy -AllowPinlessVoiceMailAccess $true
You must have run the following cmdlet on the mailbox of the UM-enabled user:
Set-UMMailbox -id tonys@contoso.com -PinlessAccessToVoiceMailEnabled $true
The UM-enabled user is associated with the same UM mailbox policy for which you enabled PIN-less logons.
The UM-enabled user dials in to Outlook Voice Access from a phone number that’s been assigned to them.
Note
You can only use the Shell to modify the PIN-less logon settings for a group of UM-enabled users on a UM mailbox policy or on a single UM-enabled user's mailbox.
