[cisco-voip] Exchange 2003 & 2007 co existing in Unified Messaging

[Maybelyn Plecic]

Similar situation, except we are not able to partner with 2007 with the
primary Unity server.   We have a failover Unity 5.0.1 cluster.   Even after
the permissions wizard was ran and MSCW was completed and the mailboxes were
created in the Ex 2007 server, we also were not able to receive the messages
via e-mail nor access to the TUI.

Can somebody confirm that the only way to co-exist is to point to the Ex2003
first and then Ex2003 relays to Ex2007 the voice mail messages with
mailboxes in Ex 2003 only? or can we do the following partner to Ex 2007 and
relay back to Ex 2003 with mailboxes in Ex 2003 and not Ex 2007?

Any assistance is appreciated.  Thank you.

Best Regards,
Maybelyn
