OCS and Exchange UM Voicemail

[Coen]

I've succesfully installed a test-setup which contains pbxnsip, ocs 2007 and exchange 2007.

The guide (http://wiki.pbxnsip.com/index.php/Office_Communications_Server) was very usefull.

 

I'm able to call from one pbxnsip extension to another pbxnsip extension. The call will also be forked to the ocs extension.

 

Now I like to use Exchange UM as the voicemail system. But when I call a extension and let it ring I won't get Exchange 2007 as a voicemail system.

Exchange UM voicemail works when I call from communicator to a ocs extension.

 

Is there anybody how can help me?

 

Greets,

What did you put into the domain setting "External Voicemail System"?

What did you put into the domain setting "External Voicemail System"?

 

Rightnow this field is still empty. I guess this field needs to be filled with a extension.

Can you give me some help?

Please take a look at Microsoft Exchage UM http://wiki.pbxnsip.com/index.php/Microsoft_Exchange. It talks about the field that you are interested in.

Hi Coen,

 

I am glad to see, my guide helped you.

I guess you followed the technet guide: Configure Exchange UM to Work with Communications Server using Exchange SP1, the powershell script Exchucutil.ps1 @ExUM and the Exchange UM Integration Utility @OCS. Right?

 

If so, you have complete different situation, cause now the Voicemail (Exchange) system is behind OCS from the pbxnsip perspective. It is not a good idea to try an additional direct integration to Exchange UM Server! Please dont change the "External Voicemail System" settings.

 

Please configure your accounts in pbxnsip Mailbox Setting "Mailbox Enabled:" to "No" and then try again.

 

With OCS and ExchangeUM integration in place your users get full control on VoiceMail Timeouts / Forwarding settings etc.

 

Best regards,

 

Jan

Thanks for all the tips. I finally got my UM voicemail intergration working.

 

I did follow the "Configure Exchange UM to Work with Communications Server" guide, but there where some issues.

After some reading I did found out that my UM dialplan didn't matched the location profile name. After fixing the names and running the "OcsUMUtil.exe" util again, the integration was succesfull.

 

In PBXnSIP I changed the mailbox setting "Mailbox Enabled:" to "No", now everything works!

 

Greetings,
