Unity Connection Restriction Table Recommendations / Template

Does anyone have example Unity Connection Restriction Tables they can share?
TIA

It depends on what you need/want to allow and also the local dial plan. For example, an outdial restriction might look like this:
9011* - Blocked
9?????????? - Allow
91?????????? - Allow
* - Blocked
This would block International but allow local 10-digit and LD entries that require 9 as an offnet prefix. All other entries would be blocked.

Voice Mail Ports Rejected in CUCM - Unity Connection

Hi to all,
I have a CUCM v9.1 cluster (1 Pub and 2 Subs) with two device pools (DP_Site_A and DP_Site_B), each DP has a call manager group that has the Subscriber for each site as the Primary CUCM Server in order of registration: DP_Site_A -> CMGroup_A ( 1° Sub_A and 2° Sub_B) ,
DP_Site_B -> CMGroup_B ( 1° Sub_B and 2° Sub_A).
The issue that I have is that when I configure the voice ports in the CUCM with either DP_Site_A or DP_Site_B I always get those ports as "Rejected" in the registration status BUT if i leave the DP for the voice ports as default they get registered and actually work fine with voice mails.
My Unity Connection is v9.1 too.
Any ideas about what can be causing this behavior??
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Alfonso,
Can you check these settings in CUC for the "Secondary" CUCM (Sub) server config
to make sure the Subs are listed as part of the SCCP registration;
Step 32 On the Edit Servers page, do the following substeps if the Cisco Unified CM cluster has secondary servers. Otherwise, skip to Step 33.
a. Under Cisco Unified Communications Manager Servers, click Add.
b. Enter the following settings for the secondary Cisco Unified CM server and click Save.
# Table 6-16     Settings for the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Servers
# Field
# Setting
# Order
# Enter the order of priority for the Cisco Unified CM server. The lowest number is the primary Cisco Unified CM server, the higher numbers are the secondary servers.
# IP Address or Host Name
# Enter the IP address (or host name) of the secondary Cisco Unified CM server.
# Port
# Enter the TCP port of the Cisco Unified CM server that you are   integrating with Cisco Unity Connection. We recommend that you use the   default setting.
# TLS Port
# Enter the TLS port of the Cisco Unified CM server that you are   integrating with Cisco Unity Connection. We recommend that you use the   default setting.
# Server Type
# Click Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Unity Connection Voice Mail Only- NO MWI template

I am deploying a site with 8,000 mailboxes. 4,000 of those users are voice mail only without a telephone and will NOT require MWI.
I can manually remove the MWI setting from each mailbox, but I am looking at either a BATCH CSV setting or a TEMPLATE that I can turn OFF mwi when creating the users.
Any ideas?
TIA

Hi there,
This setting change is available via Bulk Edit
Bulk Edit> Messages> Disable MWI functionality for this user
Bulk Edit changed in 8.x from where it was accessed in 7.x.
Here's a clip that speaks to how this is run now. You first search and select all
the users you want to change and then choose Bulk Edit;
To Edit User Account Information in Bulk Edit Mode (some editing from original > this example
is for Caller Input settings but you'll see the point)
Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, on the Search Users page, check the applicable user check boxes, and select Bulk Edit.
If the user accounts that you want to edit in bulk do not all appear on one Search page, check all applicable check boxes on the first page, then go to the next page and check all applicable check boxes, and so on, until you have selected all applicable users. Then select Bulk Edit.
Step 2 On the Edit Caller Input page, change settings as applicable.
Note The Status message at the top of the Edit Caller Input page tells you how many user accounts are being edited. Also note that the page is populated only with the fields that you are allowed to edit in bulk mode, and that the fields available for edit also depend on whether all of the user accounts reside on the local server.
Step 3 If applicable, set the Bulk Edit Task Scheduling Fields to schedule the Bulk Edit operation for a later date and/or time.
Step 4 Select Submit.
Step 5 If applicable, continue to change settings for these user accounts on the related pages available from the Edit menu. As you make changes on each page, select Submit before going on to the next page to make additional changes.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/user_mac/guide/8xcucmac090.html#wp1049545
Try a couple of test users first to come up with the exact plan.
If you prefer you can also use Bulk Edit via .csv
As a test here I tried the Bulk Edit and chose;
User with Voicemail > Users referenced in this CSV file > Next
This then allowed me to browse to an existing "basic" .csv that I had
used to create a test user recently when playing with BAT. In this .csv
I had one user named Bob Uncle with DN/ext 5126. So when I used this method
the Bulk Edit tool (smart puppy ) selected only Bob Uncle for my edit choices
and I was able to change the Disable MWI functionality for this user
Again, please try manipulating some test users to perfect
your methodology.
I have attached the test .csv I used
Cheers!

Unity Connect and O365 Restrictions

Hi,
Has anyone heard of any updates regarding the restrictions imposed by Office 365.
Unity Connect is limited to a maximum of 19 user per unified messaging service
Microsoft are supposed to be opening these restrictions up.
Now sure when though.
Regards
Dominic

That is correct, but you can add another 19. But I believe you can create another service account, then add 19 more and repeat. It supposed to be fixed soon, but its up to MSFT I believe in Office365 to open it up.

Restrict table position in the template

I have a table located in the middle of 2 sections of data (1 on the top and another at bottom)
Is there a way to restrict table in a particular position in the template? I mean, no matter what the data is above it, the table should always be in the same position in the template.
Any help would be highly appreciated...
Thanks..

his question has been answered already multiple times - please search the forum before posting a question - in case you did and you didn't find it - we added a feature
in 5.6.2 to solve this problem - It is described in the user guide in the RTF template section search for start@last-page:
Last Page Support
XML Publisher now has the ability to show content only on the last page. This is useful for documents such as checks, invoices or purchase orders where you want want content such as the check or a summary in a specific place only on the last page.
The basic command is:

Unity Connection 8.5 Outcall notification to device too agressive?

I’ve noticed the Unity Connection 8.5 outcall notification is too aggressive. Is there a way to change the outcall parameters to wait x minutes between redials?
For example Connection called my cell phone, while I am inputting my PIN I get a second call from Connection alerting me to new messages. While I’m listening to the messages I get a third call from Connection. I noticed same problem if device is my desk 7962 phone.
Unity Connection 8x Administration Guide
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/administration/guide/8xcucsagpdf.pdf

Hi Jason,
These timers can be changed via the User or User Template pages
User Templates New Notification Device
Revised November 16, 2010
Table 3-21 User Template New Notification Device Page
Field Description
Notification Device Type
Select a type of notification device from the list.
Display Name
Enter a descriptive name for the notification device.
Phone Number
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Enter the phone number, including trunk access code, of the selected device. Use digits 0 through 9 and the following dialing characters in the phone number:
•, (comma) to insert a one-second pause.
•# and * to correspond to the # and * keys on the phone.
Users can change this number by phone.
Extra Digits
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Enter any extra digits that Cisco Unity Connection dials after the phone number. The effect of the extra digits depends on the selected device. For pagers, the extra digits are shown on the pager display.
For example, the extra digits could be used to include a callback number when sending notifications to numeric pager devices. Extra digits can also be used to reach an extension, where the notification is configured to dial a public 800 access number and the extra digits would be sent at the opening greeting in order to reach the target extension.
Duration to Wait Before Dialing Extra Digits
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Cisco Unity Connection can wait a specified number of seconds before dialing the digits in Extra Digits. Use this option if the automatic call progress detection is not reliable (for example, when phone lines are noisy or when ringing patterns are unusual).
Rings to Wait
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Enter the number of times that Cisco Unity Connection allows the user phone to ring before ending the attempt. The setting must be at least 3 rings. Enter a higher number to give a user more time to get to the phone.
Default setting: 4 rings.
Busy Retry Limit
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Indicates the number of times that Cisco Unity Connection tries to reach a user number that is busy. Select a higher number to reach someone who uses the phone frequently.
Default setting: 4 times.
Busy Retry Interval
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Indicates the number of minutes that Cisco Unity Connection waits between attempts to reach a user number that is busy. Select a higher number to reach someone who has long phone conversations.
Default setting: 5 minutes.
RNA Retry Limit
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Indicates the number of times that Cisco Unity Connection tries to reach a user who does not answer the phone. Select a higher number to reach someone who steps away from the phone briefly. Select a lower number to avoid disturbing others.
Default setting: 4 times.
RNA Retry Interval
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Indicates the number of minutes that Cisco Unity Connection waits between attempts to reach a user who does not answer the phone. Select a higher number to reach a user who is away from the phone for long periods of time.
Default setting: 15 minutes.
Retries After Successful Attempt
(Applicable only to pager notification devices.) Indicates the number of times that Cisco Unity Connection calls the pager device after the first successful call to the device while the message that triggered the notification is still marked new. Use this setting in conjunction with the Retry Interval After Successful Attempt setting if users need additional reminders of new messages, or if users sometimes do not receive notifications even though the first call to the pager is successful.
If set to a value greater than 0 (zero), Connection makes periodic calls based on the Retry Interval After Successful Attempt until the user checks the message or the retry limit is reached. For example, if Retries After Successful Attempt is set to 2 and Retry Interval After Successful Attempt is set to 15, and the user receives a new message at noon, Connection will call the pager device at noon. If that call is answered, but the user does not check the message before 12:15 pm, Connection calls the pager device again at 12:15 pm. If the user does not check the message before 12:30 pm, Connection calls the pager device a second time at 12:30 pm.
Note This setting generates a series of notifications that is separate from the series that is generated if you enable the Repeat Notification If There Are Still New Messages setting on the Edit Notification Device page. To avoid confusing the user with multiple repeating notifications, we recommend that you use either the Retries After Successful Attempt setting or the Repeat Notification If There Are Still New Messages setting, but not both.
Enter a value between 0 and 100. A value of 0 (zero) means that Connection does not retry the notification after the first successful call to the pager.
Default setting: 0.
Retry Interval After Successful Attempt
(Applicable only to pager notification devices.) Indicates the interval at which Cisco Unity Connection retries calling the pager device after the first successful call to the device if Retries After Successful Attempt is set to a value greater than 0 (zero) and the user has not yet checked the message. Use this setting in conjunction with the Retries After Successful Attempt setting if users need additional reminders of new messages, or if users sometimes do not receive notifications even though the first call to the pager is successful.
Enter a value between 0 and 100 minutes. A value of 0 (zero) means that Connection makes additional retries as soon as a port is available to dial the device.
Default setting: 1 minute.
Phone System
(Applicable to phone and pager notification devices only.) Select the phone system that the notification device uses.
Prompt for User ID on Notifications
(Applicable only to phone notification devices.) Indicate whether Cisco Unity Connection should prompt the user to enter a user ID. The user is always asked for a PIN. Users may prefer not to enter a user ID in order to shorten the time that it takes to sign in.
Note Use this setting with caution and only if the phone is never answered by anyone other than the user.
SMPP Provider
(Applicable only to SMS notification devices.) Select the applicable SMPP provider.
To
(Applicable only to SMTP and SMS notification devices.) Depending on whether you are setting up message notification for a text-compatible mobile phone or pager, or for SMS (SMPP) devices:
•For SMTP text message notifications, enter the email address of the user text pager, text-compatible mobile phone, or another email account (such as a home email address).
•For SMS (SMPP) text message notifications, enter the phone number of the SMS-compatible device. The format and the number that you enter depends on the SMPP Provider. The provider may require that you include international country codes, beginning with a plus sign and followed by the country code, area, city, or trunk code, and then the number for the device (for example, +12065551234). Do not start with a zero or the international dialing prefix. Do not include spaces, dashes, parentheses or other punctuation.
Up to 128 characters can be entered in this field.
From
(Applicable only to SMTP and SMS notification devices.) For text-compatible mobile phones or pagers, enter the phone number that the user calls to check messages, or enter alphanumeric text (as applicable) in this field. The From phone number appears in the last line of any SMTP notification. A user can press the Return Call button on many text-compatible mobile phones to dial the phone number. The mobile phone must support automatic callback in order to use this feature.
For SMS (SMPP) devices, what you enter in this field depends on the SMPP Provider:
•If the SMPP Provider requires a "source address" for the server sending the message, enter the IP address for the Cisco Unity Connection server.
•If the SMPP Provider does not require a "source address," enter the number that the user calls to check messages. The format and the number that you enter depends on the SMPP Provider. The provider may require that you include international country codes, beginning with a plus sign and followed by the country code, area, city, or trunk code, and then the number for the device (for example, +12065551234). Do not start with a zero or the international dialing prefix. Do not include spaces, dashes, parentheses or other punctuation.
Note Consider that some SMPP Providers replace the number that you enter in the From field with their own phone number. For an alternative method of including a call back number, try entering the number that the user calls to check messages in the Message Text field.
Up to 40 characters can be entered in this field.
Message Header
(Applicable only to SMTP notification devices.) Enter any text you want Connection to put into the header of the notification message. For example, you might enter a legal disclaimer that you want to be sent with every notification message.
Message Text
(Applicable only to SMTP and SMS notification devices.) Enter the text message that the user wants to receive in a text notification. For example, you might enter "Urgent message for Technical Support" for a user who is on call for the technical support department. Every time a message arrives that matches the criteria selected in the message notification settings, Cisco Unity Connection sends the text you enter here.
Note To include a call back number, try entering the number that the user calls to check messages within the message text (for example, enter the number in this format: tel:2065551212).
Up to 160 characters can be entered in this field. (For SMS devices, depending on the character set you configure Connection to use, it is possible that messages that are shorter than 160 characters may be truncated.)
Message Footer
(Applicable only to SMTP notification devices.) Enter any text you want Connection to put into the footer of the notification message. For example, you might enter a legal disclaimer that you want to be sent with every notification message.
Include Message Information in Message Text
(Applicable only to SMTP and SMS notification devices.) Check this check box to include information about the new message in the text string that is sent to the notification device. This information can include caller name and caller ID (if available); the type of message (voice, email, fax); the time that the message was received; and, if the message was marked private or urgent, an indication of this status.
Include Message Count in Message Text
(Applicable only to SMTP and SMS notification devices.) Check this check box if you want the notification to include a count of the number of new messages in the mailbox.
Include a Link to Cisco PCA in Message Text
(Applicable only to SMTP notification devices.) Check this check box to include a link to the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant in the text string that is sent to the SMTP notification device.

Unity Connection 8.6 call transfer to non-unity extension

I have converted from Unity to Unity Connection and am looking for a solution for transferring an incoming call to a non-unity user extension.
Here is the scenario: An PSTN caller calls in and is directed to a Unity Connection Call Handler or a Subscriber greeting. In the greeting they are advised that if they know the extension they want to call, they can dial it at any time. Here is the rub, if they dial an extension for a user listed in Unity Connection, the call gets transferred to the extension. However, if the extension dialed is to an extension that is not a Unity Connection User, the attendant comes back and say the extension is not understood.
In Unity before conversion, I would make an internet user that did not have a mailbox but was listed with an extension. However, with Unity Connection, I am using LDAP integration with Microsoft AD and I don't see a method of doing the same thing.
Is anyone else doing something like this or know of a method to do it?
Thanks in advance.
Gene Keel

In the greeting check this box:
Allow Transfers to Numbers Not Associated with Users or Call Handlers
also make sure the number entered by the call is allowed in Default System Transfer restriction table.

Unity 7 to Unity Connection 8.x migration

I am in the planning stage of a migration of users from Unity 7.x to Unity Connection 8.5.
Can anyone provide me with their experience of how many users/per m
inute or hour they were able to move. I will not be moving messages.
Thank you,
Terry

Although there is no calculation according to The Answer Monkey, I will tell you that we moved several thousand users in less than an hour without messages.
I would also suggest that you plan to create a placeholder user for the AA import. Any AA's that point to users should get this placeholder user. Then import all the users. Then reimported the AA's and overwrite the pointers with the proper destinations.
You do need to plan the import properly if you are going to have PTs and CSS's in the new system. I think they are great for segmentation. You also have to import according to user template if you need to set things that can not be done via Bulk Edit or Class Of Service (I also highly recommend CoS use for future edits and MACs)

Unity Connection transferring calls to CUCM

I have posted here before, continuing my learning in my lab.
CUCM 9 and CUC 9. 4 IP Phones registered and all have mailboxes. I have a System Call Handler configured to answer calls coming from a CTI Route Point.
I have been playing with a scenario trying to learn all the capabilities of the various call handlers.
Im currently trying to allow the caller to transfer to a phone number that is registered in CUCM - but does NOT have a mailbox.
My CUC Configuration
     Call Handler Basics
          Callers Hear -> My Personal Recording
          During Greeting -> Allow Transfers to Numbers Not Associate with Users or Call Handlers
          After Greeting -> Conversation -> Caller System Transfer
     System Settings -> Restriction Tables
          Default Transfer
               I added a new entry and specifically entered the DN that I was trying to transfer to (123)
               I unchecked the "blocked" for all entries
     Call Management -> Call Routing -> Forwarded Routing Rules
               Attempt Forward Routing Rule -> Send Call to -> Conversation -> Attempt Forward
From an IP Phone, I dial the CTI RP and get forwarded to the main / opening call handler. I traverse a couple of menu tree levels to get to my call handler where I am attempting to transfer back to CUCM. I hear my recorded personal greeting instructing me to enter my number. Whether I wait for the recording to end or whether I enter the digits during the greeting, the results are the same. The result is that nothing happens. No recorded message telling me that I cant be transferred to that number - nothing at all. The call just terminates.
I started up Connection Remote Port Status monitor and I can watch the sequence of the call. When I enter the digits of the target phone (123), I see in the Remote Port Status Monitor that it sees and receives the DTMF digits, but then nothing happens.
I next tested by adding a test user in CUC with the same DN of 123. As soon as I did that, I repeated the attempted call and when I dialed "123", I get the recorded message "Wait while I transfer that call" and then the call completes successfully.
This is my home lab so I can make any changes that you suggest with no user implications.

Hi Jeff,
That is weird! It is still shown in this 9.x doc
Overview of Default Restriction Tables in Cisco Unity

Default Fax
Restricts numbers for fax delivery.
Default Outdial
Restricts numbers for message notifications
Default System Transfer
Restricts numbers that can be used for
Caller system transfers, which allow
unidentified callers to transfer to a
number that they specify. For example,
callers may want to dial a lobby or conference room phone that is not
associated with a Connection user. By default, the table does not allow
Connection to dial any numbers.

Unity Connections 7.x Unable to route to Contacts from Call Handler

Unity Connection 7.x. CallManager 7.x.
My desired goal is to route from an AutoAttendant CallHandler to CallManager users that do not have VoiceMail boxes. I have created a contact with the following:
alias: myuser
first: my
last: user
display: my user
voice name: recorded
list in directory: yes
transfer enabled: yes
transfer extension: 1234
When dialing AA and pressing # to get the the directory and doing dial-by-name, I am able to route. When dialing the extension number during the greeting, I receive the following:
"I did not recognise that as a valid entry"
When selecting "Allow Transfers to Numbers Not Associated with Users or Call Handlers" from within the AA Handler and then dialing by extension, I receive the following:
"You cannot be transferred to this number"
Is there a way to dial the extension number to get to the user's device?
Regards...

Hi Phil Denton,
You are indeed going on the right track with the
"Allow Transfers to Numbers Not Associated with Users or Call Handlers"
What you're missing is the restriction table which by default doesn't allow any patterns to be dialed.
So in the System Settings go to the Restriction Tables and select the "Default System Transfer", and add a pattern that matches your internal extension or just that specific one.
Now this will permit dialing by extension to those specific patterns, one last thing you should verify is that the CSS assigned to your voicemail ports in UCM has the proper partitions to dial those extension.

Unity Connections 8.5 - Mailbox Access Rights

Hello,
Is it possible in Unity Connections 8.5 to have a mailbox setup where anyone who has the ID and PIN can access and listen to the messages but cannot delete the voicemail messages. There would be only 1-2 to users have the capability to delete the messages. I have a request to setup an attendance dial in mailbox where it can be checked by multiple users but only a select few would have the ability to delete the messages.
Thank You

Hi Troy,
My friend Tony is most correct here (+5 ) The best you can
do is trick most of the users into thinking "delete" is not available.
These settings are only exposed when using the Custom Keymapping Tool
in CUC, so you won't see them on your default conversation. Let's say
you are using the Classic Conversation for your users. You can go to the
Custom Keymapping Tool from cucadmin and say select Custom Keymapping #3
when it comes up you would, first off, reset the mapping on all tabs to Classic Conversation
this would then replicate your existing setup. Then go to the After Message menu page and map
some key # to "message delete" I used 17 in my tests here. Then you would also uncheck the
"option is voiced in menu" checkbox so the users that you apply this keymapping to would not
be offered the delete message option.
The next step is to assign the new Custom Keymapping #3 conversation to the
required Mailbox via user>xxxx>Phone menu>Conversation>Custom Keymapping #3
and apply.
You would also set Phone menu>Conversation>Custom Keymapping #3 in the User template
area so special "restricted" mailboxes that are created can use this conversation as well
In my tests here the only thing different than this example is that we use the Optional Conversation 1
so I reset the mapping on all tabs to Optional Conversation 1 when going through the steps above.
This worked like a charm.
Cheers!

Unity Connection integration with Outlook problem.

Hello,
We deploy CUC 7.1 and we integrate it with MS exchange 2007 and outlook, and we perform the recommended configuration to make the voice mail message to be appeared in both Unity connection voice mail store and to be sent to exchange then appeared in outlook as inbox message, we perform that by choosing Accept and Rely option in Message actions tab.
The customer want when the message accessed from the outlook the MWI on turned to MWI off!!!!!
How can i perform that?
Thanks

Hi Ahmed,
What you are wanting is not available with CUC 7.x "Accept and Relay"
In Cisco Unity Connection 7.1, you can use the accept and relay action to instruct Connection to both deliver each message of a certain type to the user mailbox and forward a copy of the message to the relay address. (This is sometimes referred to as "accept and forward.") This option may be useful for users who regularly use a device that accesses a separate server for messages, such as a handheld wireless device, and want easy access to voice messages both on the alternative device and through the Connection user interfaces. If you choose this option, the user receives two copies of each message. The copies are stored in different message stores, and any actions the user takes on the relayed copy are not reflected on the copy stored in the Connection message store.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/administration/guide/7xcucsag170.html#wp1091330
You will want to look into CUC 8.5;
New Features for Cisco Unity Connection Version 8.5
• Unified messaging with Microsoft Exchange 2010:
• Voice messages are synchronized with the Exchange inbox.
• MWI and message status are synchronized.
• Secure, private messages, mobile client, and calendar integration for Exchange 2010 are all supported.
• You can enable unified messaging for specific users or all users.

Upgrading Unity Connection from 7.1.5 to 8.5.1 - not working

I am attempting to upgrade our unity connection boxes from 7.1.5 to 8.5.1.
I have legacy MCS 7845H2 - It has 4 disks - 2 mirrors of 72gb disks. 4mb of RAM and 2 X 2.3ghz processors
I have UCS C210 VMWare Hosts.
I have attempted 2 migration methods.
The first method involves - upgrading the existing system and restoring a backup of this to a VM
This fails with a hardware compatablity check.
The second method involves - backup existing systen - build VM at same level (using recommending OVA) - restore data onto VM - upgrade VM
This fails with a restore problem - I have used 'TITAN' ftp, but please note the backup is < 900mb.
The error is
Physical restore failed - could not fork server connection, SQLCODE -25596
Program over.
Restore failed during Unity Connection DB ontape restore operation.
----> BEGIN Standard Error
/opt/cisco/connection/lib/disaster-recovery/database_do_restore.real.py:32: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module iproduct: This Python has API version 1013, module iproduct has version 1012.
import iproduct
gunzip: stdout: Broken pipe
----> END Standard Error
Has anyone out there attempted to upgrade to 8.5.1 - please let me know how you got on.
Any help or ideas appreciated.

Here is the end of the restore log ...

Best Practices for Setting up MailBox Quotas in Unity Connection.

Hi all,
I've just completed migrating from Unity 4.0.5 to Unity Connection 8.0.2c and all seems to be working well at the moment. I am looking into setting up quotas for subscriber mailboxes and I would like to find out what are the rules of thumb when assigning disc space to user mailboxes ? and How much disc space does it take for a one minute message ?
Thanks in advance for any inputs/suggestions !!!
D.

D. Tran,
Here are some things to consider:
–Mailbox Quotas
•Specifies a mailbox size in MB for Warning, Send, and Send/Receive Quotas on mailboxes
•Can be applied system-wide and customized on a per-user basis (maximum mailbox size is 2GB)
•Default Warning Quota = 12 MB (25 min of recording with G711)
•Default Send Quota = 13 MB (27 min of recording with G711)
•Default Send/Receive Quota = 14 MB (29 min of recording with G711)
When you use G711, the space requirements for a message are:
•480Kb/min when using G.711
–Message Aging Policy
•If enabled, it applies system-wide but can be disabled on a per-user basis.
•If disabled, no message aging policies are applied and cannot be enabled on a per-user basis.
Should you need to be more aggressive in your Message Aging Policy, you can optionally choose to move saved messages to the Deleted Items folder within a specified timeframe. This is disabled by default.
I typically recommend giving users access to the deleted items (it allows them to access deleted messages for a period of time after they delete them). This is set in the Class of Service here:
–Class of Service > Message Options > Uncheck “Delete Messages Without Saving to Deleted Items Folder”
Hope this helps.
