[cisco-voip] Exchange 2007 UM and CUCM 5.1

[Loraditch, Matthew*]

Here is a good place to start for feature lists and such: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/evaluation/unifiedmessaging/default.mspx

However in answer to your question I believe Exchange UM supports most of these features OOB.  From what I understand MWI isn't a standardized feature across platforms and that is why it was left to a 3rd party to develop an addon.

What about Directory Handlers and Alternate, Closed greetings etc.  Will these functions also require 3rd party apps?

So, had an Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging test box and a CCM 5.1 box... 

I created a SIP trunk to the Exchange 2007 box (with MTP) pointed a route pattern at (call it the vmail pilot, but this is so much more than vmail, it is hard to even suggest using that phrase any more)... 

On Exchange created a UM user, added his DN, created a PIN, added a UM IP gateway (basically just name it and add the IP of CCM), selected a dial-plan (tell it how many digits to expect)...

I dialed the pilot and Exchange answered and read me the name of the user from Exchange (it is a CG voice, but it sounds very good) and went right into Outlook Voice Access... 

OK, here is where Unity dies.

You do not have access to JUST voice mail, you also have access to your Email, Calendar, corporate directory, personal contacts... It initially tells you how many emails, voicemails and any upcoming calendar events... You can have it read you your email (and it sounds pretty good), you can reply (it sends a WMA file back to the person), you can schedule meetings, look up users in the corp directory and then send them emails... 

We set up the initial connection in about 2 minutes, set up the initial Exchange user in 2 more minutes...


There is only one giant downside... no MWI. For that you need to buy a third party MWI thing (Microsoft is recommending this: mwi2007.com), need info on their pricing, BTW...
