With Exchange 2007, does it allow you to listen to your VM through the phone? Like with Unity ViewMail you can click play and it will ring your extension which will then play your message to you after you pick-up.<br><br>

<br>> 5.x on your network, you will be able to connect Exchange 2007<br>> Unified Messaging servers directly to Call Manager without the<br>> requirement of an IP/VoIP gateway. Many of the features that are
<br>> included with Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging are fully<br>> functional with Cisco Call Manager 5.x. However, the Message<br>> Waiting Indicator (MWI) feature does not work and faxing does
<br>> not work because the T.38 faxing protocol is not supported by<br>> Cisco Call Manager.<br>><br>> T.38 faxing I think I could do without, but I think I'd be in danger of<br>> losing my job if MWI stopped working. However, according to the
<br>> document that you can download from [2] there's a third-party<br>> solution[3] that enables MWI.<br>><br>> [1] <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2516dac1-dfdc-47eb-8e6f-18b1537a57b2.aspx">
