Unity 7 Distribution List Usage

Is there a way to find out when a distribution list was last used in Unity 4 or 7? We are upgrating and would like to know whether or not to COBRAS out the DLs, some of which are quite large.

I am going to say no. I have searched our internal db. Reviewed the advanced settings and reports. I dont see anything that would help.

Unity 4.x - Limits of Distribution List members

Is there a limit to how many members you can add to a public and/or private distribution list in Unity 4.2?

Hi Johnny,
Subscribers > Class of Service > Features Page
Lists Available to Subscribers
Enter a number between one and 99 to specify the maximum number of private lists available to subscribers who are assigned to this COS. Subscribers can manage their private lists by phone and from the Cisco Unity Assistant.
Though both the Cisco Unity conversation and the Cisco Unity Assistant use this setting to determine when a subscriber has reached the maximum number of lists, consider that each application calculates the number of lists that a subscriber owns differently:
•When a subscriber tries to use the phone to create a new list by adding members, the Cisco Unity conversation counts the number of private lists that have members, and then compares the total to the value in this setting to determine whether the subscriber has reached the list limit. Lists with no members (empty lists) are not included in the total number of lists that a subscriber owns, even if the lists have recorded names and/or text names.
•When a subscriber tries to use the Cisco Unity Assistant to create a new list, the Cisco Unity Assistant counts the number of lists that have a recorded voice name, a text name or members, and then compares the total to the value in this setting to determine whether the subscriber has reached the list limit. Lists with no members are included in the total number as long as they have recorded names and/or text names.
This means that if a subscriber belongs to a class of service that allows 15 lists, and the subscriber has 12 private lists with members and two lists with recorded names but no members, the subscriber can potentially create more lists by phone than in the Cisco Unity Assistant before reaching the list limit:
•When the subscriber uses the Cisco Unity conversation, the subscriber will reach the list limit either by adding members to the two empty lists and creating one new list, or by creating three new lists. If the subscriber reaches the limit by creating three new lists, the subscriber cannot add members to the two empty lists until two lists are deleted.
•When the subscriber uses the Cisco Unity Assistant, the subscriber will reach the list limit by creating one new list. Despite reaching the list limit, the subscriber can add members to the two empty lists.
You can set up private lists for a subscriber on the applicable Subscribers > Subscribers > Private Lists page, though the subscriber is the only person who can send voice messages to the list.
Maximum Members Per List
Enter a number between one and 999 to specify the maximum number of members that subscribers can add to a private list when they use the Cisco Unity conversation or the Cisco Unity Assistant. (There is no limit imposed on the number of members that can be added to a private list when you use the Subscribers > Subscribers > Private Lists page to add members to a list.)
The subscriber is the only person who can send voice messages to the lis

Cisco Unity Connection 8.6 Distribution list help.

We have a shared department line on several phones ( say 30 ) with VM and users were accessing the VM through the telephhone interface.
Recently we had a request from the leadership team ( say 5 ) , that they need unified messaging ( VM in their emails) for that department line.
How do i make it possible so that the leadership team has the unified messaging( VM in their emails ), while the other user still have access to the dept line VM through telephone interface.
If I create distribution list with the the leadership team as DL members and call handler for the dept line DN with message setting set to receipients as the distribution list , would that do it ? Will the other users still be able to access the VM through their phone. how do I make it possible .?

Indu,
I understand you requirement and I'll be upfront and say there are only so many options here as I see it and each has its own caveats/limitations. Here are a couple:
1. You will need an SMTP Smart Host configured for Unity Connection for this solution to work. The Smart Host is just an SMTP relay server and it needs to be configured to accept messages from and deliver messages to the SMTP domain of Unity Connection. That also means that you need to configure Unity Connection to allow inbound SMTP from this host (i.e., a trusted address configuration).
2. You will need an email distribution list or shared email address that you can forward a copy of voice messages for the mailbox to. That email distribution list needs to have your special users set as members.
3. Once the first 2 items are in place, go to the shared mailbox and set the Message Actions for Voicemail to "Accept and Relay" and then specify the relay address as the address for the distribution list you set up in item 2.
4. Leave the configuration for the shared mailbox the same except for the accept and relay configuration above. All users will continue to have the same phone-based functionality. The difference is that a COPY of every voicemail will be sent to the special users via the relay to distribution list. The caveat is that this is not Unified Messaging. It does get the voicemail into email but there is no synchronization of MWI and/or message status for users that rely on email client to check messages.
Another option would be an Integrated Messaging solution. This also is not Unified Messaging but does provide synchronziation between the shared line and email client; however, it requires that each of your special users set up an IMAP connection from their email client to the Unity Connection server. So, the messages will not be seen in their personal email inbox but rather in a separate IMAP folder in the email client.

How to send a broadcast message to public distribution list?

I set up a Pulic distribution list in Unity system, but what extension number should I dial to send a publick distribution list? What is the public distribution list number?
Thanks for any input.

Log to Unity (press the Messages button and type your password). It will prompt you what is the button that you need to press to send a message (by default is 2), press that number, now it will prompt you to spell the name of the person or the distribution list. You can press ## (# key twice) to change to enter the extension.
If you go to the SAWEB and search for your Distribution List you will see that you can add and extension.
So by following the above instruction you can send a message by spelling the name of the DL or entering the extension of the DL.

Unity System Distribution Members Help?

I am running Unity 7.1.5
I created a System Distribution List. Is it possible for an Extension to have mulple names listed in a directory? We have 3 users that share the same phone, so it has a generic phone alias. But They want the directory to identify 3 users to this extension.
I went into the extension and adde "alternate names" I even created users without a mailbox with these same names. But anytime I try to add members to the distribution list, these users are not available for me to add to the directory.
Is it possible to do?

Hi there,
You should be able to set up these 3 users as "contacts" via cucadmin
and have them all transfer to the same shared extension I just tested this out
and it works the way you would like and doesn't use any licenses.
Cheers!

Distribution list migration

I have successfully migrated all subscribers from unity 7 to unity 8.6 but I am trying to migrate the distribution lists now and don't see where I can do that. I know the docs say to use cobras but I don't see any option to back up the lists, just the subscribers. Any info would be greatly appreciated on helping with this matter.
Thanks

CUC 8.5 users in outlook distribution list not receiving voice mails

Hi Support Community,
Good Day ..
We have Cisco Unity Connection 8.5 in our site. It is configured to send voice mails to end users through Outlook Exchange 2010. There is a pilot number which is used by a group. So voice mails to this number needs to be forwarded to all the people in the group . To meet this requirement we had two options. One was to forward the mails to a distribution list and the second was to send the voice mail to an inbox from where it had to be forwarded to the users in the group. The first one didnt work becos the unity is unable to access the mail box becos the distribution list doesnt have one. In the second option the mail is getting delivered to the main inbox but it is not getting forwarded to the users.It works fine for all other emails. If we manually forward the emails from unity it works. Sharing the inbox wont work here becos the users wont be able to access it via Blackberry.
Could you please advise me on this issue. Thank in advance.

You were on the right track with your first scenario with an Exchange distribution list. Instead of using the Single Inbox feature you can just create a mailbox and set the Message Action to Relay. In that configuration CUC will just SMTP relay the message over to an Exchange address.
As for forwarding messages within an individual Exchange mailbox: It seems to be an Exchange architectual consiquence. CUC posts the message directly to the mailbox through EWS. This seems to be exempt from mailbox rules.

Recursively get distribution list members

Hi,
I've been asked to supply the membership of several of our large distribution lists. However, these lists are heavily nested, so I need to get membership recursively starting from the top level list. The old ONDL.EXE utility could do this. I was wondering if there was a powershell command that could accomplish the same thing. The get-distributiongroupmember cmdlet does not seem to have recursive abilities. If not, could someone help me with a script to do this?
Thanks,
Don

This is kind of long, but works:
(watch line wraps)
Save it as something like get-exgrouprecurse.ps1, and call it like this:
$members = get-exgrouprecurse <group name>
Then, $members will contain all the members full objects, and the group name they are actually in

Creating distribution lists in SAP CRM 5.0 business workplace

Hi Experts,
We have CRM 5.0 and I have tried to create distribution lists for
mailsending.
After defining a name and a folder (that is then created) for the
list the recipient list insertion is a following task.
I can search for partners of different type by F4 help but no
matter the type of the partner searched - the type that is
automatically entered to the lists recipents table is "shared
distribution list". even though the desired type is among others
in a list other values cannot be selected.
Please help, is this a setting that can be undone or what might
be a problem in the procedure that i use in creating a list?
has anyone else had similar problems?
Thank You so much,

i have received an answer from SAP:
"The reason for the error is a wrong entry in table TBCS_RECIP. To removethis entry, please use the report which is entered in the description
of note 735795 or delete the wrong entry direct on table TBCS_RECIP.
After the run of the report or the deletion on table TBCS_RECIP you willnot find further the selection option 'Business Partner' on the F4 help."
The entry was removed and for Lists business partners cannot be selected at all - as a standard. really sad endeed.

In the upgrade to Yosemite, the distribution list feature in mail appears to have been eliminated. Any suggestions?

Prior to upgrading to Yosemite, mail allowed you to select all from a contact group and paste the e-mail address of the group to an e-mail send field. This "distribution list" feature does not seem to work in this new system. Any suggestions?

Setting up Contacts "groups" or "distribution lists" on Treo Pro??

Is there any way to set up a "group" or "distribution list" on Treo Pro w/ Windows Mobile so that I can send a text message to a group rather than have to put in each phone number individually???
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850U (Unlocked)

Hello!
Windows Mobile devices doe not have this function at least out straight foward of the box, will require the use of a 3rd-party SMS application. PalmOS smartphones have an upping here with its templates folder but in your case you could try making SMS drafts and use those as a "group template."

Distribution list do not appear in TO: field when user wants to send email

All the blackberry users in the corporate are on BES server. When user enters the first few letters of a person or the # sign and the first few letters for the distribution list in TO: field, the email addresses are showing up from Global Address List (GAL) for example, and they can choose the email address.
There is a particular issue with one user. His bb does not show any distribution list when he types # sign. The individual contacts from GAL are showing up after typing the first few letters though.
User has a personal account apart from the corporate account.
I can not figure out the problem.
We recently wiped his bb and activated it, because he did not have the option to reply or forward his emails.
If you know what could be the solution apart from reactivating the bb, please let me know.
Regards,

Hello,
Honestly, from your original description, your users have a function I've never seen. To access the GAL from my BB, I must enter some characters and then use the Lookup function. Your description does not include the Lookup, so I honestly have no idea how your users are configured. From what you describe, it sounds like you are somehow (and for some reason) pushing the entire GAL to each device and this is not working on that one device. But, honestly, with Lookup, I can see no reason to want to push the full GAL out.
Good luck!

How to create a rule for distribution list

I have users in a distribution list that all require a specific rule to be created for them. I have been able to create a a rule to distribute in Exchange management shell which works properly but I have found out that the rule will not be visible to the
end user in the Outlook 2007 client. I was wondering if there is a solution to distribute a rule to these users without the need tot visit each of their computers while they are signed in (24-hour business but I.T. only works day shift). Any solution would
be appreciated.

Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify that the rule you create in EMS is the transport rule. Users can't see the transport rules on Outlook side. They can see the Outlook rules on Outlook side. Your understanding will be appreciated.
Hope this can be helpful to you.
