Add Mailbox and Client Access servers to a SIP URI dial plan in Exchange Server

Applies to: Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016

You can add Client Access and Mailbox servers to SIP URI dial plans. Client Access and Mailbox servers can't be associated with Telephone Extension or E.164 dial plans, but the servers will answer all incoming calls.

If you're deploying Microsoft Lync Server, to enable outbound calling to work correctly, you must manually add all Client Access and Mailbox servers to all SIP URI dial plans that you've created for Lync Server.

For additional management tasks related to UM dial plans, see UM dial plan procedures.
