Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Management Shell to change the Unified Messaging (UM) mailbox policy that is assigned to a UM-enabled user. When you enable a user for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging, you must select the UM mailbox policy that will be associated with the user's mailbox. However, you can change the UM mailbox policy that is associated with the user's mailbox after they have been enabled for Unified Messaging.

You create Unified Messaging mailbox policies to apply a common set of policies or security settings to a collection of mailboxes of UM-enabled users. You can use Unified Messaging mailbox policies to apply settings such as the following:

  • PIN policies

  • Dialing restrictions

  • Other general UM mailbox policy properties

Note

A default UM mailbox policy is created every time that you create a UM dial plan. However, you can either delete the default UM mailbox policies or create additional UM mailbox policies based on the needs of your organization.

Before You Begin

To perform the following procedures, the account you use must be delegated the Exchange Recipient Administrators role.

For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Exchange 2007, see Permission Considerations.

Also, before you perform these procedures, confirm the following:

  • A UM dial plan has been created.

  • A UM mailbox policy has been created.

  • The user has been enabled for Unified Messaging.
