This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Management Shell to delete or remove a Unified Messaging (UM) mailbox policy. When you delete a UM mailbox policy, the UM mailbox policy will no longer be available to be associated to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 recipients who are newly enabled for Unified Messaging.

Note

The UM mailbox policy cannot be deleted if it is referenced by any UM-enabled mailboxes.

To perform this procedure, the account you use must be delegated the Exchange Organization Administrator role.
