Cisco Unity Connection not relaying voicemails outside the organization

Hi all, we are running Cisco Unity Connection version: 8.6.2ES25.21900-25.  It has been set up to accept voicemails for Exchange 2010 users (in other words email messages with WAV attachments) and deliver these to their inboxes; this works with no problem.
I have two users who would like to receive these emails at their outside account, however the messages are never sent.  I have tried the following:
Changed the users corporate email addresses from "[email protected]" to "[email protected]"
Unchecked the option to "Generate SMTP Proxy Address From Corporate Email Address."
On the "Message Actions" page for their account I have configured voicemail and email to "Relay the message" and entered their external SMTP addresses.
Confirmed the smart host setup is OK (points to our Exchange 2010 CAS which has firewall rules in place to permit it to send mail outside the organization.
Confirmed the Exchange 2010 CAS will accept SMTP messages from the subnet the Unity Connection server resides in.
If I switch the user SMTP settings BACK to their original internal SMTP addresses for my company the messages are then immediately delivered properly to these addresses.  This signifies to me that Unity is periodically trying to send these items but they just aren't going out.  No sign of the messages in any user report I ran in Unity nor message tracking in Exchange.
I also tried setting up an Outlook rule to forward these voicemail messages to the recipients external addresses but this did not work and after doing some research I see that the way in which Unity delivers the messages to these recipients internally (via EWS) is the reason why.  I wonder if this is the same reason these are not going out to their external SMTP addresses.
Thanks for any assistance provided!

Look at the transfer options for that particular user and make sure it's set to ring the phone, that configuration is PER user.

  • Cisco Unity Connection 8.0 / access to the user configuration is very slow

    Hello!!
    The access to the user configuration is very slow. When you click on an user it need about 2-3 minutes until the configuration sidewill be loaded.
    What could be the reason?
    How is it possible to load the user configuration a little bit faster?
    A restart of the Cisco Unity Connection was done.
    The user will be imported from the CallManager.

    Is Exchange 2013 server added in the firewall rule to send communication over port 25?
    Do you have use Front end proxy checkbox checked on the Send connector to internet that was created on 2013 (if created)?
    If use front end proxy checkbox is checked, then you need to add permissions for your CAS server's IP in the Firewall for outbound port 25 rule. As it appears that the mail is originating from CAS to the firewall. If that checkbox is not checked, we need
    to add the Mailbox server's IP on the outbound rule for port 25.

  • Exchange 2010 does not send mail outside the organization

    Hi,
    I have an issue with my Exchange 2010 server and the issue is that I cannot send messages outside the organization. There are lot of posts regarding this issue, but in my case the issue is a little bit different and I didn't find an answer. There is properly
    configured send connector, DNS records are OK, external domain is properly configured, all Exchange services are started. The server is running on VM with 4 virtual CPUs, 32GB of RAM. When I send a message to ouside domain the message is not delivered.
    I have enabled protocol logging (SMTP logging) and there are no records in the log. What I found is that when I reboot the server, immediately after restart I am able to send an email to outside domain, few minutes later the messages, addressed to the
    same outside domain are not being delivered.
    The VM is created on LUN, presented from storage Fujitsu Eternus DX90S2, communication between the storage and the host is through iSCSI, all the disks on the storage are 2TB, SATA, 7200rpm.
    I can't explain to myself what is going on.

    No, unfortunately I do not receive NDR, the queue is empty as well. However, I am receiving a message from Exchange and it states that the message, sent to external domain is not yet delivered and the server will continue to try to deliver it, there is no
    reason specified for delaying. The message is:
    Generating Server: exchange.domain.local
    My_Email_Is_Here
    #550 4.4.7 QUEUE.Expired; message expired ##

  • Setting up Directory Handlers under Cisco Unity Connection

    Good Day All,
    I am in the process of setting up directory handlers for Cisco Unity connection.
    When I dial the extension for the directory handler ;  I hear the default Cisco Unity connection greeting instead of being prompted for the search.
    Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks very much
    Regards
    Amanda

    Hi javalenc,
    Of course ,  that was right.  I worked it out in the end.
    I was trying to copy the configuration from an older version of CUC and basically added an un-needed call forwarding rule under the Directory Handler.  As soon as I removed it; the directory worked normally.
    The other thing I learned last weekend was that the order of the routing rules is important.
    My directory had the first priority and it was causing people who wanted to leave a voicemail for other users to get the prompts for the directory. 
    Thanks so much for the help though.
    Regards,

  • Cisco Unity Connection 8.6 not getting CLID information from CUCM 8.6

    Hello,
    Currently Running:
    Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.6.2
    Cisco Unity Connection 8.6.2
    Problem:
    when any outside caller leaves a voicemail, the caller number information is not being sent to unity.
    example, I call with my cell phone, 817.555.1234 to my Cisco 7940 phone and it shows the CLID information that i am calling with. iDivert to voice mail, Leave a message. Playback message and just the default message information from Cisco Unity.
    we currently upgraded from CUCM 6.1.3 and Unity 5. before i could press 9 and get the caller information.
    I have viewed the "Playback Message Settings" and selected "After Playing Each Message, Play" and selected Sender's Information. and also selected "Include Extension and Sender's ANI"
    upon playing the VoiceMail after the message i get the default message "From Cisco Unity Connection Messaging System"
    I also have the message relaying to my E-mail and I get the same in the subject line.
    "Message from Cisco Unity Connection Messaging System (Unknown extension)"
    This tends to be a big deal with the Sales team as customers will call and say "Call me back"
    But any Internal Calls show the correct information, proper greeting, extension information even on the relay to e-mail.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Tim

    Found another post that referenced Cisco Bug ID CSCti37610.
    CUC plays message is from Unity Connection Messaging system
    Symptom:Before message playback, Unity Connection plays the message is from Unity Connection Messaging System instead sender's ANI
    Conditions:Problem was observed on Unity Connection cluster and appropriate services are not rebooted after changing the SMTP domain name
    Workaround:
    Restart the Unity Connection servers
    It should have been fixed in 8.5 but we did change the SMTP domain name on 8.6 and now see the problem. Will schedule a reboot and see if the issue goes away.

  • Delete email will delete VM (VoiceMail) on Cisco Unity Connection 8.0

    Dear Netpro Gurus,
    One of my customers have recently bought a new Cisco Unity Connection 8.0.  They are currently using Microsoft Outlook (with Microsoft Exchange) and they are currently setup with SMTP Smart Host so whenever they got a new Voicemail on their Cisco IP phone, they will automatically receive a new email with WAV attachment on their Microsoft Outlook.
    However, what they found is say when they have 20 x new Voicemail messages, they will have 20 x emails with WAV attachments which is normal.  But when they listen and delete all their email attachments, they still have to go to their Voicemail inbox on their IP Phones by pressing the 'Envelope' button and delete the SAME 20 x Voicemail messages before their MWI will go off.
    What my customer wants is there any method when my customer delete all their emails on Outlook, the voicemail on Unity Connection will too be deleted at the SAME TIME, and also the MWI will turn off the SAME TIME??
    Cheers,
    Hunt

  • Cisco Unity Connect 8.6 smarthost

    Hi Guys,
                I am in the process of deploying the Cisco Unity Connect 8.6 on the virtual environment. I was able to configure the smtp configuration smarthost with our exchange server. And the test user is able to receive the voicemail via the phone and the email. My question is, since we are going to outsource our email to Gmail in a couple months. Currently I am using the "Accept and Relay the Message" under Message Action for the User and the "Reply Address as [email protected]".  I would like to know if there is a way to configure the smarthost as gmail, if so what will be the smarthost for gmail? Has anyone has this scenrio setup before? Please let me know. Thanks in Advance.
    Hakach

    Hakach,
    Google's SMTP relay server is smtp.google.com. However, I don't think this will work with Unity Connection. Google forces authentication and TLS encryption. As far as I know the Unity Connection won't support these pre-requisites for smarthost configurations.
    Maybe you can consider keeping a basic relay server on prem and have Unity Connection relay through this server to Google. Of course the 3rd party solution should support the pre-reqs defined by Google.
    HTH.

    Bill

  • Cisco Unity Connection cluster issue

    Hello,
    I have a Cisco Untiy Connection cluster of two servers, one publisher and one subscriber.  They are running software: 7.1.3ES43.33034-43.  Yesterday at about 8:43 I lost connection to the subscriber server.  I could still ping it but was unable to get to it via GUI nor SSH.  I spoke to TAC yesterday and they told me to simply reboot the server.  I was a little concerned about this because I don't want to cause some kind of split-brain effect.  I work in a hospital and it is imperative that the voicemail system stay up.  My only other option would be to do this at 4:00 am on a Sunday.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi David and all,
    we have a unity connection 9.x pair. after an IP address change on the subscriber we are getting the error message:
    ‘Communication is not functioning correctly between the servers in the Cisco Unity Connection cluster’
    Both servers respectively show its own status as a publisher but lost communication with the other server (if we check cluster management from either server).
     show tech network hosts – displays correct info.
    show perf query class "Number of Replicates Created and State of Replication"
    ==>query class :
     - Perf class (Number of Replicates Created and State of Replication) has instances and values:
        ReplicateCount  -> Number of Replicates Created   = 603
        ReplicateCount  -> Replicate_State                = 2
    On both servers the replication is showing as 2 – so its good.
    Various reboots have been done, services are up and working and there are no firewalls between server’s .
    Any advice appreciated.
    TIA…Jeff

  • Migrating from Cisco Unity Express to Cisco Unity Connection

    Hello,
    We are going to migrate from Cisco Unity Express 8.6.6 to Cisco Unity Connection 9.1.2. Therefore, we need to migrate all mailboxes without data lost.
    So, the questions are next: is it possible? Which tools we should use and what  steps we need to pass?
    Thanks,

    Based on my experience of keeping the data (i.e. voicemails for users) it is really not worth it.
    Because all these voicemails will add up the Mailbox Space and user will get unnecessary "mailbox full" warnings even though they may be deleted (it takes around 2 weeks to get rid of the deleted voicemails)
    Hence, my recommendation would be to do a stare and compare for the most part and build all the Call Handlers etc, this will give you even better chance to get rid of all the unwanted stuff.

  • Cisco Unity Connection 8.5.1 SU3 to 8.5.1 SU6 & Upgrade to 9.1.2

    Two questions !
    Firstly  - I am upgrading to the latest patch level as I want to upgrade the systems to 9.1.X
    I am installing UCSInstall_UCOS_8.5.1.16900-6.sgn.iso onto the inactive partition on the publisher then onto the inactive partition on the subscriber.
    Then I plan to switch versions out of hours.
    Question - will messages / data that has happened between the installation on the inactive partition and the switch version be preserved ??
    So if I install onto the inactive partition at 1pm, then an important message is left at 2pm and I switch version at 3pm, does the iimportant message exist on the active partition at the end ??
    Second question -
    I have UCCX-8.5.1 SU4 (HA), CUC 8.5.1 SU6 (HA) and CUCM 8.5.1 SU6 (1 pub, 2 sub) - so 7 VM's in total.
    If I want to migrate to -
    UCSInstall_UCOS_9.1.2.12900-11.sgn.iso &  UCSInstall_UCCX_9_0_2_UCOS_9.0.2.11002-27.sgn.iso
    in which order should the installations take place ?? CUCM Publisher last ?? Publisher first ??
    Thanks
    James

    Hi James,
    +5 to my friend Aman for his good tips here 
    Messages are preserved during the "switch-version" so the messages left before the command is run will be preserved as they are stored in a "common" partition;
    Switching to the Upgraded Version of Connection 8.x Software
    If you chose not to automatically switch to the upgraded partition at the end of the upgrade, do the following procedure when you are ready to switch partitions.
    To Switch to the Upgraded Version of Connection 8.x Software
    Step 1 If you do not have a recent backup, back up the server by using the Disaster Recovery System. For more information, see the Disaster Recovery System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x athttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/drs_administration/guide/8xcucdrsag.html.
    Step 2 Sign in to Cisco Unified Operating System Administration.
    Step 3 From the Settings menu, select Version.
    Step 4 On the Version Settings page, select Switch Versions, and the following occurs:
    •Connection services are stopped.
    •Data from the partition where the older version is installed is copied to the partition where the newer version is installed. If changes to the database schema require updates to the format of data, that occurs in this step. Note that messages are stored in a common partition, so they are not copied.
    •The Connection server restarts and switches to the newer version.
    Note You can check the status of the installation of the upgrade software by using the CLI command show cuc version. The upgrade is complete when the inactive partition has the upgraded software and the active partition has the old software.

  • Issue on Cisco Unity Connection after performing 'utils ntp restart'

    Hello everybody.
    There's a client with Cisco Unity Connection 8.5.1.10000-206. After doing a 'utils ntp restart', the following message showed up:

    The client states that there was no service for 5 minutes and wants to know if performing this task shoud be disruptive or not and if there is any official document from Cisco stating this.
    See SrvConnUnity_1.jpg sent by the client after performing the ntp restart.

    Hello Patricio,
    On the command line guide you won't see any downtime requirements for the Unity Connection server:
    Command Line Interface Reference Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Solutions Release 8.5(1)
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/cli_ref/8_5_1/cli_ref_851.html
    Utils ntp restart
    This command restarts the NTP service.
    Command syntax
    utils ntp restart
    Parameters
    None
    Requirements
    Command privilege level: 0
    Allowed during upgrade: Yes
    Also on the caveats i do not see any particular mention for this: (Caveats could be found applicable to CUC)

    Breaking up the output of the "utils ntp status"  there are are two considerations:
    admin:utils ntp status
    ntpd (pid 10899) is running...
         remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
    ==============================================================================
    *127.127.1.0     LOCAL(0)        10 l   16   64  377    0.000    0.000   0.002
    First, you are using the ip address 127.127.1.0 which is the referenced used for the local system clock, the asterisc means is the preferred option as there is no other IP available. This is not a good practice and not recommended.
    Secondly the stratum is unreliable, meaning too high to reach or too low to be accepted by Unity Connection.
    If you would happen to run 'utils diagnose test' you would have probably seen an output as the following example below:
    admin:utils diagnose test
    Log file: platform/log/diag1.log
    Starting diagnostic test(s)
    ===========================
    test - disk_space          : Passed (available: 25680 MB, used: 7849 MB)
    skip - disk_files          : This module must be run directly and off hours
    test - service_manager     : Passed
    test - tomcat              : Passed
    test - tomcat_deadlocks    : Passed
    test - tomcat_keystore     : Passed
    test - tomcat_connectors   : Passed
    test - tomcat_threads      : Passed
    test - tomcat_memory       : Passed
    test - tomcat_sessions     : Passed
    test - validate_network    : Reverse DNS lookup missmatch
    test - raid                : Passed
    test - system_info         : Passed (Collected system information in diagnostic log)
    test - ntp_reachability    : Passed
    test - ntp_clock_drift     : Passed
    test - ntp_stratum         : Failed
    The reference NTP server is a stratum 11 clock.
    NTP servers with stratum 5 or worse clocks are deemed unreliable.
    Please consider using an NTP server with better stratum level.
    Please use OS Admin GUI to add/delete NTP servers.
    skip - sdl_fragmentation   : This module must be run directly and off hours
    skip - sdi_fragmentation   : This module must be run directly and off hours
    test - ipv6_networking     : Passed
    And on the RTMT (Real Time Monitoring Tool) you would have seen a Critical event:
    Condition:
    The best external NTP server, , is stratum , which is unacceptably high. External NTP servers must be <= strata 8 and should be <= strata 5. NTP server strata can be verified using the CLI 'utils ntp status' command ('st' column). Try using different NTP servers.
    Problem cause:
    All specified external NTP server(s) have unacceptably high stratum values. Network issues exist or the designated servers have unreliable stratum values.
    Information is self explanatory and therefore reassures the need of having a NTP different from the server itself.
    By the snippet you sent we can know that it is the publisher server, as the Subscriber polls this information from the Publisher.
    Installing the Operating System and Cisco Unity Connection 8.x
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/installation/guide/8xcucig020.html
    "Cisco recommends that you use an external NTP server to ensure accurate system time on the publisher server. Ensure the external NTP server is stratum 9 or higher (meaning stratums 1-9). The subscriber server will get its time from the publisher server"
    Documentation also reaffirms the need for that NTP to be accessible otherwise your system can be degraded.  Some addtional information which would be interesting to know is:
    - Why did they had to restart the NTP in the first place?
    System Requirements for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/requirements/8xcucsysreqs.html
    "A network time protocol (NTP) server must be accessible to the Connection server"
    On the Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability> Tools> CLuster Management screen shot you sent i see that the ports were "Not Available" and that the customer stated "there was no service for 5 minutes".
    By no service did they mean that over the phone they heard a disconnected tone or a failsafe message?
    Additionaly after the servers resolved from SBR the Subscriber never recovered entirely as it did not start the Conversation Manager service.
    Bottom line if they are able to reproduce it then it would be worth a while checking with TAC

  • Cisco Unity Connection 8.5 PIMG integration.

    Hello Experts
    My customer has PIMG integration with Cisco Unity Connection, users can access their mailboxes after creating a direct routing rule with the search scope where this users are located to send the call to "attemp sing in" conversation this part is working fine. Now subscribers do not get the user's mailbox when reaching FNA,Busy or RNA they are going to the "welcome to Cisco Unity Connection Messaging System from a...  default greeting. Using Remote port status monitor I can not see the call coming in,but I am sure the call is getting to that server. I will like to know what traces I can enable to get the extension that is being sent by PIMG or what else I can check on the Unity connection server to resolve this issue?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Rob
    I  configured the Direct Routing to send the calls to conversation "sing in" because the customer has multiple integrations and duplicated users with same extesion,  he was getting "invalid username and password" everytime they try to log in, meaning that the user was in different CSS and the existing Direct Routing Rule did not have this CSS in the Search Scope.Maybe in you case you the users were not sorted out by CSS.
    I am pritty sure they are using Nortel phones,but not sure what exact version.
    Thank you for your response.I will try to configure a Forward Routing rule to send the calls to and specific user'extension base on the calling number to see what happens.
