Educating Information Workers AboutExchange Server 2007
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 provides several enhanced features for the information
worker. These features include Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Microsoft Office
Outlook Web Access, Outlook Anywhere, and Unified Messaging. By using these features,
information workers can access their messaging data from a wide variety of locations and on
a wide variety of devices.
Exchange ActiveSyncExchange ActiveSync is a Microsoft Exchange synchronization protocol that is optimized to
work together with high-latency and low-bandwidth networks, such as cellular networks. The
protocol, based on HTTP and XML, lets devices such as browser-enabled cellular telephones
or Microsoft Windows Mobile powered devices access an organization's information on a
server that is running Microsoft Exchange Server. Exchange ActiveSync enables mobile
device users to access their e-mail, calendar, contacts, and tasks and to continue to be able
to access this information while they work offline.
Outlook Web AccessOutlook Web Access enables access to your Exchange mailbox data from a Web browser.
There are two versions of Outlook Web Access: Outlook Web Access Premium and
Outlook Web Access Light. Outlook Web Access Light supports accessibility features for
users who are blind or have low vision, and it will run on most Web browsers. It provides a
simplified user interface and reduced feature set compared
with Outlook Web Access Premium. Outlook Web Access Premium requires Internet
Explorer 6 or a later version and provides features that are currently unavailable in the Light
version, such as Unified Messaging and Tasks.
Unified MessagingUnified Messaging combines voice messaging, fax, and e-mail messaging into one store that
can be accessed from a telephone and a computer. Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging
integrates Exchange Server with telephony networks and brings the Unified Messaging
features to the core of Exchange Server. Unified Messaging lets users access voice mail, e-
mail, fax messages, and calendar information that is located in their Exchange 2007 mailbox
from an e-mail client such as Outlook or Outlook Web Access, from a mobile device that has
6
8/8/2019 Educating Information Workers About Exchange Server 2007
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/educating-information-workers-about-exchange-server-2007 7/94
Exchange ActiveSync enabled, such as a Windows Mobile powered smartphone or a
personal digital assistant (PDA), or from a telephone.
Outlook AnywhereThe Outlook Anywhere feature for Exchange 2007 enables Office Outlook 2007 and
Outlook 2003 clients to connect to their Exchange servers over the Internet by using the RPC
over HTTP Windows networking component. This eliminates the need for users to create a
virtual private network (VPN) connection to your organization's network when they are using
Outlook 2003 or a later version.
POP3 and IMAP4
Exchange 2007 provides e-mail access for clients by using Post Office Protocol version 3
(POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol version 4rev1 (IMAP4). POP3 provides access
to Inbox data. IMAP4 provides access to data in the Inbox in addition to other folders in your
Exchange mailbox.
For More Information
For more information about Exchange 2007 features for information workers, see the
following topics:
• Educating Information Workers About Outlook Web Access
• Client Features in Exchange 2007
Client Features in Exchange 2007
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 contains several client-specific features that will improve the
messaging experience for users and make it easier for administrators to manage their
messaging environment. The following sections provide a brief introduction to many of these
features.
OverviewAll non-MAPI messaging clients that access a mailbox in Exchange 2007 connect to an
Exchange Server computer that has the Client Access server role installed. The Client Access
server role can be installed on a computer that is running any of the other Exchange server
roles except the Edge Transport server role. When clients access mailboxes on an Exchange
server that has the Mailbox server role installed by using Office Outlook Web Access, Outlook
7
8/8/2019 Educating Information Workers About Exchange Server 2007
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/educating-information-workers-about-exchange-server-2007 8/94
Anywhere, Exchange ActiveSync, POP3, or IMAP4 clients, they connect to a Client Access
server that communicates directly with the Mailbox server.
Note:
The Client Access server role and the Mailbox server role can be installed on the
same Exchange Server 2007 computer. In this case, the Client Access server role
handles the client request and communicates with the Mailbox server role processes
all on the same computer.
Exchange ActiveSyncExchange 2007 provides several new features in Exchange ActiveSync. Some of these
features are as follows:
• Support for HTML messages
• Support for follow-up flags
• Support for fast message retrieval
• Meeting attendee information
• Enhanced Exchange search
• Windows SharePoint Services and Windows file share document access
• Global address list search
• Password reset
• Expanded device password security policy settings
• Support for Out of Office configuration
• Self-service device management support through Outlook Web Access
• Integrated device management support in the Exchange Management Console
• Support for allowing device synchronization by device ID
• Support for tasks synchronization
• Direct Push
Note:
Many of these features are available only with the latest release of the
Windows Mobile client software.
Note:
When you use Exchange ActiveSync and a mobile device to access Unified
Messaging, you can download and listen to the attached .wma file for voice mail
messages.

• Client Features in Exchange ActiveSync
Outlook Web AccessOutlook Web Access has several new and enhanced features in Exchange Server 2007.
Some of those features include the following:
• New integrated search and advanced search capabilities.
• Improved message view. This includes grouping and sorting features, message flags,
and conversation view.
• Improved browsing and searching of Contacts and Address Book information.
• Enhanced calendar viewing. This includes meeting booking improvements and color
categories.
• Integrated reminders.
• Always up to date mail delivery.
• Advanced Out of Office scheduling and enhanced Out of Office management.
• Mobile device management.
• Improved experience for limited vision users.
Caution:
When you use Pocket Internet Explorer to access Outlook Web Access Light,
you may be able to listen to a voice mail message that is attached to an e-mail
message. However, this functionality is not supported because Pocket
Internet Explorer is not a supported platform for Outlook Web Access Light.
For more information about Outlook Web Access, see the following topics:
• Overview of Outlook Web Access
• Client Features in Outlook Web Access
Outlook AnywhereThe Outlook Anywhere feature for Exchange 2007, formerly known as RPC over HTTP,
provides access to your Exchange messaging environment for Microsoft Outlook 2003 or
Outlook 2007 clients that connect to Exchange over the Internet. If you have installed the
RPC over HTTP Proxy Windows networking component in Windows Server 2003 and
9

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/educating-information-workers-about-exchange-server-2007 10/94
enabled Outlook Anywhere on a computer that has the Client Access server role installed,
users can use Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007 to connect to their Exchange 2003 or
Exchange 2007 mailbox by using Outlook Anywhere. By enabling Outlook Anywhere,
Internet-based users have a reliable and efficient way to connect to their Exchange mailbox
without having to create a virtual private network (VPN) connection to the corporate network.
For more information about Outlook Anywhere, see the following topics:
• Overview of Outlook Anywhere
• Managing Outlook Anywhere
POP3/IMAP4 AccessExchange 2007 enables you to use the Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) and Internet
Message Access Protocol version 4 rev 1 (IMAP4) to support clients that still rely on these
protocols. By default, both the POP3 service and the IMAP4 service are disabled for new
installations of Exchange. Additionally, both protocols have limited access to calendar
information for Exchange Server. The basic functionality of these two protocols is as follows:
• POP3 POP3 was designed to support offline mail processing. With POP3, e-mail
messages are removed from the server, unless specified differently on the client, and
stored on the local POP3 client. This puts the data management and security
responsibility in the hands of the user.
• IMAP4 IMAP4 offers offline and online access, but like POP3, IMAP4 does not offer
advanced collaboration features such as scheduling and group scheduling and task and
contact management.
For more information about POP3 and IMAP4, see Managing POP3 and IMAP4.
Calendaring FunctionalityExchange 2007 includes a suite of new components that are designed to give users an
enhanced calendar experience. The following components are included:
• Calendar Attendant
• Scheduling Attendant
• Resource Booking Attendant
• Availability Service
For more information about these calendar features, see Client Features in Outlook Web
Access.
10
8/8/2019 Educating Information Workers About Exchange Server 2007
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/educating-information-workers-about-exchange-server-2007 11/94
Calendar Attendant
The Calendar Attendant processes meeting requests for all mailboxes. In earlier versions of
Exchange, most of the meeting processing occurred on the client computer. The Calendar Attendant automatically puts new meetings on the calendar as tentative appointments,
updates existing meetings with new information, and deletes out-of-date meeting requests
without any client interaction.
Scheduling Assistant
The Scheduling Assistant simplifies booking meetings when clients are using
Outlook Web Access or Outlook 2007. It automatically recommends the best days and times
for meetings by providing a color-coded interface. It also lets users set their office hours.
For more information about scheduling, see Managing Resource Scheduling.
Resource Booking Attendant
Exchange 2007 identifies meeting resources as either a room or equipment and includes
special attributes for each of these types of resources. For example, a room resource
includes a capacity attribute. Custom attributes, such as audio-visual capabilities can also be
defined. The Resource Booking attendant provides the following features:
• Limits who can book resources
• Enforces maximum meeting duration
• Schedules meetings only during working hours
• Forwards out-of-policy requests to delegates for approval
• Provides conflict information for declined meetings
For more information about resource scheduling, see Managing Resource Scheduling.
Availability Service
The Availability service is used to make free/busy information available for Outlook 2007 and
Outlook Web Access clients. The Availability service provides free/busy information directly
from the mailbox for users on Exchange 2007 and can be configured to retrieve free/busy
information from public folders for users on earlier versions of Exchange Server. The
Scheduling Assistant uses the Availability service to perform the following tasks:
• Retrieve current free/busy information for Exchange 2007 mailboxes
• Retrieve current free/busy information from other Exchange 2007 organizations
• Retrieve published free/busy information from public folders for mailboxes on servers
that have versions of Exchange that are earlier than Exchange 2007
11

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/educating-information-workers-about-exchange-server-2007 12/94
• View attendee working hours
• Show meeting time suggestions
For more information about the Availability service, see Managing the Availability Service.
Out of OfficeExchange 2007 includes several new and enhanced Out of Office features. These features
include the following functionality:
• Users can schedule a future Out of Office time so that they do not have to remember
to set their status to Out of Office.
• Users can create two Out of Office messages, one for external users and one for
users within their own organization.
• Users can decide to send their external Out of Office message only to external
recipients who are in their Contacts list.
• The Out of Office message is sent in HTML instead of plain text.
Administrators can manage the external Out of Office feature at the mailbox level. They can
configure external Out of Office on a per-user and per-domain basis.
Autodiscover ServiceThe Autodiscover service is a new feature in Exchange 2007 that automatically provides
configuration information to Outlook In earlier versions of Microsoft Exchange, users were
required to configure several settings to configure their profile. These settings included server
name, mailbox name, and user account information. With the Autodiscover service in
Exchange 2007, users have to provide only their e-mail address and password. The
Autodiscover service returns an XML file that contains the user's configuration
information. The Outlook 2007 client uses this information to create the user's profile. In
addition to making it easier to create profiles, the Autodiscover service also repairs any
Exchange connection settings after a change has been made to the server settings or the
user's profile.
Table 1 lists the client applications and protocols that support the use of the Autodiscover
service.

Client Features in Exchange ActiveSync
Exchange ActiveSync in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 includes several new and
enhanced features that are designed to improve the user experience. When you combine the
new Microsoft Exchange features with the latest version of Microsoft Windows Mobile, you
can increase performance and usability and help make your mobile device more secure.
New Features in Exchange ActiveSyncThe following are some of the new and enhanced features in ActiveSync for Exchange 2007:
• Support for HTML messages
• Support for follow-up flags
• Support for fast message retrieval
• Meeting attendee information
• Enhanced Exchange search
• Windows SharePoint Services and Windows file share document access
• Password reset
• Enhanced device security by using password policies
• Support for Out of Office configuration
• Support for Tasks synchronization
• Direct Push
Note:
Many of these features require the latest version of Windows Mobile that is currently
in development.
HTML Message Support
In earlier versions of Exchange ActiveSync, HTML-formatted e-mail was rendered as plain
text on the mobile client. When a mobile device was used to reply to or forward e-mail, the
whole e-mail message was converted to plain text. Exchange 2007 lets users receive, read,
reply to, or forward e-mail and keep the HTML formatting intact.
13
8/8/2019 Educating Information Workers About Exchange Server 2007
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/educating-information-workers-about-exchange-server-2007 14/94
Follow-Up Flag Support
Exchange 2007 ActiveSync lets you flag an e-mail message for follow up directly on your
mobile device, exactly as if you handled the message in Microsoft Outlook. You can alsomark a flagged message as completed. If you are using Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, any
items flagged on your mobile device will also appear in the Outlook 2007 To-Do bar.
Fast Message Retrieval
To minimize bandwidth and save space on your mobile device, Exchange ActiveSync
downloads only a part of large messages. If you want to retrieve a whole message, you do
not have to wait for the next complete synchronization. You can download the rest of the
message immediately.
Calendaring Improvements
Exchange 2007 ActiveSync synchronizes information about attendee availability to your
mobile device. When you view a meeting on your mobile device, you can view the attendee
status for all Microsoft Exchange users. You can also view global address list information
about any attendee that you select.
Enhanced Exchange Search
By default, only three days' worth of e-mail is synchronized to your mobile device.
Exchange ActiveSync lets you search for older e-mail messages that are no longer stored on
your device. You can enter a search term and select a date range, search all items in a
specific folder, or search all folders. When a matching item is found, that item is downloaded
to your device.
Windows SharePoint Services and Windows File ShareAccess
You can access documents remotely from your mobile device by using Exchange 2007 and
the latest Windows Mobile client. If you receive an e-mail message that contains a link to a
supported document type, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel, on a
Windows SharePoint Services or Windows file share path, you can follow the link and accessthe document.
Password Reset
You can configure Exchange Server 2007 to require that a device password be entered on
mobile devices after a period of inactivity. If you forget your device password, you can unlock
your device by using a device recovery password.
14
8/8/2019 Educating Information Workers About Exchange Server 2007
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/educating-information-workers-about-exchange-server-2007 15/94
Enhanced Device Security by Using Password Policies
You can enhance the security of a Windows Mobile device by configuring additional password
requirement settings, such as password history tracking, password expiration, and byprohibiting the use of passwords that are too simple. These settings let you prevent users
from creating simple passwords, such as 1234, and from keeping those simple passwords for
an indefinite length of time.
Over the Air Provisioning and Autodiscover
Configuring a mobile device for synchronization can be a tedious process for users.
Exchange 2007 ActiveSync simplifies provisioning of your mobile device through use of the
Autodiscover service. After the Autodiscover service has been configured, you can easily
configure your device for synchronization. The device will request the URL to the
Exchange ActiveSync virtual directory and your user name and password.Exchange ActiveSync will do the rest. You do not have to connect your device to your
Microsoft Windows computer to configure synchronization with Microsoft Exchange.
Note:
The ability to use the Autodiscover service depends on the mobile device operating
system that you are using. Not all mobile device operating systems that support
synchronization with Exchange Server 2007 also support the Autodiscover service.
For more information, contact the manufacturer of your device.
Out of Office SupportYou can now configure and set your Out of Office status directly from your mobile device.
Exchange ActiveSync retrieves your current Out of Office settings from the
Microsoft Exchange server and lets you change your Out of Office status and your Out of
Office auto-reply message.
Tasks Synchronization
In addition to supporting the synchronization of e-mail, contacts, and calendar items,
Exchange ActiveSync supports synchronization of Tasks items.
Direct Push
The Direct Push feature, originally introduced in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service
Pack 2, provides timely message delivery to mobile devices. Direct Push uses the following
steps:
1. The mobile device issues a long-standing HTTPS request to the server. This request
is known as a PING.
15
8/8/2019 Educating Information Workers About Exchange Server 2007
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/educating-information-workers-about-exchange-server-2007 16/94
2. The server waits for a specified length of time to elapse or for a new item to arrive. If
there are no new or changed items in the specified folders during the lifetime of the PING
request, the server sends an empty response to the device. If new or changed items
exist, the server sends a response to the device that includes the folders that contain the
new or changed items.
3. If the mobile device receives an empty response, it issues a new PING request. If the
response is not empty, the mobile device issues a synchronization request. After the
mobile device synchronizes with the server, the mobile device sends a new PING
request.

Client Features in Outlook Web Access
This section describes the new and enhanced client features in Outlook Web Access
in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. These new features are available only when you use
an Exchange 2007 server that has the Client Access server role installed to open a mailbox
that is on an Exchange 2007 server that has the Mailbox server role installed. There are two
versions of Outlook Web Access: Outlook Web Access Light and Outlook Web Access
Premium. Outlook Web Access Light supports accessibility features for users who are blind
or have low vision, and it will run on most Web browsers. It provides a simplified user
interface and reduced feature set compared with Outlook Web Access Premium.
Outlook Web Access Premium requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later versions and
provides features that are currently not available in the Light version, such as Unified
Messaging and the ability to check spelling.

Client Features in Unified Messaging
This section describes the new Unified Messaging (UM) client features that give UM-enabledusers access to their e-mail and UM messages in their Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
mailbox. The new Unified Messaging client capabilities enable you to provide users simplified
voice mail, e-mail, and fax message access options and an improved overall user experience.
Outlook Voice AccessOutlook Voice Access is a term that describes how subscribers retrieve e-mail messages
from their individual mailbox by using an analog, digital, or cellular telephone and then by
using touchtone or voice commands. When a UM-enabled user accesses their
Exchange 2007 mailbox by using a telephone, they are presented with a series of voice
prompts. These voice prompts help the user move through the Unified Messaging system
and enable the user to access their Exchange 2007 Inbox. Outlook Voice Access lets users
retrieve, listen, reply, create, and forward voice or e-mail messages and listen to or change
calendar information.
Note:
For a copy of the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging Outlook Voice
Access Quick Reference Guide, visit the Microsoft Download Center .
UM and Exchange ActiveSync ClientsThe Exchange ActiveSync protocol is used to connect mobile clients, such as those found on
smartphones or personal digital assistants (PDAs), to an Exchange 2007 server and mailbox.
There are many mobile devices that a user can use to access their Exchange 2007 mailbox
and view e-mail and fax messages, view and change calendar information, and listen to their
voice messages. Many wireless and mobile devices being used today can enable the user to
be always connected to their Exchange 2007 mailbox.
UM Integration with Outlook 2007 ClientsMicrosoft Office Outlook 2007 is the next generation e-mail client. By using Outlook 2007, a
user can access their individual Exchange 2007 mailbox and view e-mail and fax messages
in their Inbox, view and change calendar information, and listen to voice messages by using a
Microsoft Windows Media Player that is embedded inside the e-mail messages on their
portable device or computer. By using the Outlook 2007 client, the user gains additional
features, such as the Play on Phone functionality. For more information about the Outlook
features for Exchange Unified Messaging, see Outlook Features for Exchange Unified
Messaging.

When you install Outlook 2007 on a client computer, the Outlook 2007 Unified
Messaging voice mail features are included. The Unified Messaging features for configuring voice mail are available only with Outlook 2007 and are not available with
earlier versions of Outlook.
UM Integration with Outlook Web AccessClients
Outlook Web Access has been greatly enhanced to give users a set of Unified Messaging
interfaces and tools that are comparable to a full-featured e-mail client like Outlook 2007. As
in earlier versions of Outlook Web Access, the user can access their Exchange 2007 mailbox
by using a compliant Web browser. However, similar to the Outlook 2007 e-mail client, thenew Outlook Web Access offers the user a Windows Media Player that is embedded in the e-
mail message that can be used to listen to voice messages and enables them to access other
features such as Play on Phone.
Note:
When you use Exchange ActiveSync on a mobile device, you can listen to the
attached .wma file that contains the voice mail message. The advanced Unified
Messaging features that are found in the Outlook Web Access Premium client, such
as the voice mail configuration options, are not available in Outlook Web Access
Light.
Caution:
When you use Outlook Web Access Light and Pocket Internet Explorer on a mobile
device, you may be able to listen to the .wma attachment in a voice message.
However, this is not a supported configuration.

Educating Information Workers About
Exchange ActiveSyncExchange ActiveSync in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 is designed to give information
workers access to much of their mailbox data on a mobile device. After you have deployed
Exchange 2007, your users automatically have access to Exchange ActiveSync. This section
contains information about Exchange ActiveSync that you can give to your information
workers.
Understanding Exchange ActiveSyncFunctionality
Exchange ActiveSync uses Direct Push to synchronize e-mail messages, calendar, contact,
and task data with the mobile device. Exchange ActiveSync and Direct Push work by
establishing two-way communication between the mobile device and the Exchange server, as
shown in Figure 1. The device initiates a longstanding HTTPS request to the server. The
server monitors the mailbox for the duration of the request. If new items arrive in the mailbox
or synchronized folders within the duration of the request, the server notifies the device and
requests that the device initiate synchronization. If there are no changes to the monitored
folders within the duration of the HTTPS request, the request expires and a new request is
generated by the device. This process keeps the device synchronized with the
Microsoft Exchange mailbox.

Figure 1 Exchange ActiveSync Direct Push synchronization
When you use Exchange ActiveSync with Exchange 2007, you can use Direct Push
functionality if you are using a device that is running Windows Mobile 5.0 with the Messaging
& Security Feature Pack (MSFP) or a later version of Windows Mobile software. In addition,
several third-party devices also support Direct Push. For more information about Direct Push,
see the following topics:
• Understanding Direct Push
• Exchange ActiveSync Devices and Compatible Features
Understanding Exchange ActiveSync FeaturesWhen you synchronize your mobile device with Exchange 2007, you will be able to do the
following:• Synchronize e-mail messages, calendar items, contacts, and tasks between your
Exchange 2007 mailbox and your mobile device.
Note:
You cannot use Exchange ActiveSync to synchronize Microsoft Office Outlook
notes from the Exchange server to a mobile device. E-mail messages, contacts,
tasks, and calendar items are all synchronized.

• Read e-mail messages sent with restricted permissions by using rights management.
• Search for names in the global address list (GAL).
• View e-mail messages with full HTML formatting, including images.
• Perform a remote device wipe on a lost or stolen device from Outlook Web Access.
• Recover a forgotten device password.
Note:
An Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy must be running on the device to be
able to recover a device password. If you are not sure if you have an
Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy, contact the system administrator for your
organization.
• Download and listen to voice mail messages by using Exchange 2007 Unified
Messaging.
Caution:
When you use Pocket Internet Explorer to access Outlook Web Access Light,
you may be able to listen to a voice message that is attached to an e-mail
message. However, this is not a supported configuration, because Pocket
Internet Explorer is not a supported platform for Outlook Web Access Light.
Note:
Many of the features listed earlier require the latest version of Windows Mobile
software, which is currently in development.
For more information about these features, see the following topics:
• Overview of Exchange ActiveSync
• How to Recover a Device Password
• How to Perform a Remote Wipe on a Device
Troubleshooting Exchange ActiveSync
When problems occur while you are using Exchange ActiveSync, Exchange 2007 makes it
easy for you to use Outlook Web Access to retrieve logs from a mobile device. These logs
can be e-mailed to Exchange administrators so that they can help solve synchronization
issues.

Transitioning to Exchange ActiveSync 2007Exchange Server 2007 offers significant improvements in Exchange ActiveSync for
information workers. However, there are several features that are no longer available in
Exchange 2007. Those features include Outlook Mobile Access and the ability to read
S/MIME encrypted e-mail messages.
Outlook Mobile Access
With Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server and Exchange Server 2003, you could use a WAP-
enabled cellular telephone to access your messages through Outlook Mobile Access. Outlook
Mobile Access provided a view of messages that resembled Outlook Web Access over a
WAP connection. This feature enabled you to access your messaging data without a mobile
device that was enabled for Exchange ActiveSync. Outlook Mobile Access has been removed
in Exchange 2007. You should use Exchange ActiveSync with your Windows Mobile or third-
party device to synchronize your messaging data.
Accessing S/MIME Encrypted E-Mail Messages
With Exchange 2003, you could read S/MIME encrypted e-mail messages on your mobile
device. Exchange 2007 does not support reading S/MIME encrypted e-mail messages on a
mobile device. To read an e-mail message that is encrypted by using S/MIME, you must read
the message by using Outlook.
Educating Information Workers AboutOutlook Web Access
Outlook Web Access provides access to a user's mailbox from any browser that supports
HTML 3.2 and European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) formats. It is an ideal
client for users who do not have access to Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access, such as
users who are traveling or who rely on shared workstations for access to e-mail and calendar
information.

Outlook Features for Exchange UnifiedMessaging
When you enable a user for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging (UM), the
user can receive e-mail, voice, and fax messages into their individual Exchange 2007 Inbox.
This section discusses the Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 features for Exchange Unified
Messaging that let a UM-enabled user who is using Outlook 2007:
• Play a voice message from Microsoft Windows Media® Player, which is integrated
into an Outlook mail form, or from a message list.
• Play a voice message on a telephone.
• Configure individual voice mail settings.
Note:
Unified Messaging is only available for Exchange recipients who have mailboxes
located on a server that is running Exchange 2007.
Third-Party Unified Messaging SolutionsIn the past, with many third-party unified messaging solutions, voice mail was received and
then stored in a single location. It was retrieved by a user who was using a telephone, or
48
8/8/2019 Educating Information Workers About Exchange Server 2007
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/educating-information-workers-about-exchange-server-2007 49/94
routed to the user's Inbox to be played from an Outlook or Outlook Web Access client
computer. Even if the unified messaging system was using a legacy version of Microsoft
Exchange to store the voice mail data, the voice mail system and the client computer were
not closely integrated and therefore did not provide a seamless voice mail experience for the
user.
In voice mail environments such as these, when a user received a voice message, it arrived
as an e-mail message with the voice mail message contained inside an attachment. The user
had to open an instance of Windows Media Player or another media player installed on the
client computer to play and listen to their voice mail messages. Because the Outlook or
Outlook Web Access client computer and the third-party unified messaging system were not
integrated, in addition to having to open an individual instance of a media player application,
the user could not configure their individual voice mail settings from their e-mail client
software. They had to change individual voice mail settings through a different software
application or by using their telephone.
Legacy Clients and ExchangeWhen UM-enabled users use Outlook 2007 or the version of Outlook Web Access that is
included with Exchange 2007, they are given more voice mail options than Microsoft
Exchange recipients who are using legacy versions of Outlook, Outlook Web Access, or
Exchange Server. Outlook or Outlook Web Access users, or users who connect to a legacy
version of Exchange Server, still receive their voice mail as a standard e-mail sound file
attachment (*.wav or *.wma) and no voice mail configuration options are available to them.
Note:
When you use Exchange ActiveSync on a mobile device, you can listen to the
attached *.wma file that contains the voice mail message. The advanced Unified
Messaging features that are found in the Outlook Web Access Premium client, such
as the voice mail configuration options, are not available in Outlook Web Access
Light.
Caution:
When you use Outlook Web Access Light and Pocket Internet Explorer on a mobile
device, you may be able to listen to the .wma attachment in a voice message.
However, this is not a supported configuration.
Outlook 2007 Features for Exchange UnifiedMessaging
To offer a seamless voice mail experience for the user, Outlook 2007 and the version of
Outlook Web Access included with Exchange 2007 offer Exchange 2007 UM-enabled users a
full set of voice mail features. These features include many voice mail configuration options,

Outlook Features for Exchange Unified
Messaging: Voice Mail Form
This section discusses the Outlook features for Exchange Unified Messaging available with
Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. By using the Outlook features for Exchange Unified
Messaging, a UM-enabled user who is using Outlook 2007 can play a voice mail message
from Microsoft Windows Media® Player using a new Outlook voice mail form.
Note:
After a voice message is received and opened, a voice mail form will be used. Other
message types with voice attachments, for example, calendar replies, are treated as
standard items and use default Outlook forms.
Voice Mail FormThe Outlook 2007 voice mail form resembles the default e-mail form, but gives users an
interface for performing actions such as playing, stopping, or pausing voice messages,
playing voice messages on a telephone, and adding and editing notes.
51
8/8/2019 Educating Information Workers About Exchange Server 2007
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/educating-information-workers-about-exchange-server-2007 52/94
The voice mail form includes the embedded Windows Media Player and a notes field. The
embedded Player and notes field are displayed in either the preview pane when you are
previewing a voice message or in a separate window when the voice message is opened by
the user. If a user is not enabled for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging or
Outlook 2007 has not been installed on the client computer, they receive voice messages
only as attachments, and the voice mail form is not available.
Note:
To use the inline Windows Media Player in the voice mail form, users must use a
version of Windows Media Player no earlier than Windows Media Player version 7.0.
If the appropriate version of Windows Media Player is not installed, the inline player
will not be rendered in the form, but other UM features will be available on the client
computer.
Voice Mail Form OptionsThe following three options are available in the voice mail form options:
• Play Users can play and listen to voice messages using computer speakers or
headphones. After Play is clicked, the Windows Media Player will go into play mode.
• Play On Phone Users send a request to the UM server to play the selected voice
message on the user’s phone or at another telephone number that is specified by the
user. After Play on Phone is clicked, the Play on Phone dialog box appears so that the
user can configure and control the Play on Phone operation.
• Edit Notes The user opens the voice message and can add or edit notes or
comments in the Notes field.

Outlook Features for Exchange Unified
Messaging: Play on PhoneAfter a voice mail message arrives, users can choose either to listen to the voice mail
message through their computer speakers or headphones or to use the Play on Phone
feature. The Play on Phone feature is included with the Outlook features for Exchange
Unified Messaging (UM) in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. This section discusses how a UM-
enabled user can use the Play on Phone feature that is provided by Microsoft Exchange
Server 2007.
What is Play on Phone?
The Play on Phone feature lets UM-enabled users play voice messages over a telephone. If a
UM-enabled user sits in an office cubicle, is using a public computer or a computer that is not
enabled for multimedia, or is listening to a voice message that is confidential, the user might
not want to or be able to listen to a voice message through their computer speakers.
Alternatively, they can play back the voice mail message using any telephone, including
home, office, or cellular telephones.
The Play on Phone feature is available in Outlook 2007 and also in Exchange 2007 Outlook
Web Access.
When the user clicks the Play on Phone toolbar option in the Outlook 2007 voice mail form,
the Play on Phone dialog box appears. The Play on Phone dialog box provides the controls
for selecting or inputting the telephone number to use to play a voice message, starting and
ending the call, and a status message for monitoring the call.
Note:
Only one voice message can be played at the same time. If the user tries to start a
second Play on Phone call while a previous call is still in progress, an error message
will appear.
Most Recently Used Telephone Number ListUsers can see a list of telephone numbers they used most recently in the Play on Phone box.
The telephone number that is specified on the Voice Mail tab is always displayed as the top
entry and is automatically selected for the user as the primary number. Users can use the
drop-down menu to select other telephone numbers to dial instead of the telephone number
that is configured as the primary number. This feature is unavailable in Exchange 2007
Outlook Web Access.
53
8/8/2019 Educating Information Workers About Exchange Server 2007
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/educating-information-workers-about-exchange-server-2007 54/94
Note:
To enable users who are using the Play on Phone feature to dial an external
telephone number without using an outside line access code, for example 425-555-1234 instead of 9-425-555-1234, configure in-country/region dialing rules on a UM
dial plan that include the following line: group1, 9xxxxxxxxxx, 91xxxxxxxxxx. After you
have configured the in-country/region dialing rules, add this list to the UM mailbox
policy.
Play on Phone ButtonsThe Play on Phone dialog box gives users the option to Dial and Hang-up. When the Play
on Phone dialog box is first opened, the Dial button is enabled and the Hang-up button is
disabled. After a call is placed, the Dial button becomes disabled until the call has ended. The
call can be ended either by clicking the Hang-up button or by physically hanging up the
telephone. Closing the Play on Phone dialog box using the Close button ends the call if one
is in progress.
Subject, Sent, and Status FieldThe bottom section of the Play on Phone dialog box displays the subject of the voice
message, the date and time sent, and a message that displays the current state of the call.
Any errors specific to the Play on Phone operation are displayed to the user in this section of
the Play on Phone dialog box.
Phone Number ValidationPlay on Phone only performs simple validation on your input into the Play on Phone dialog
box. Play on Phone does not validate telephone numbers. If a telephone number is not valid,
the Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging service returns a meaningful error code to the
user.

Outlook Features for Exchange Unified
Messaging Voice Mail OptionsA user who is enabled for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging (UM) can
configure several voice mail options in the Outlook features for Exchange Unified Messaging
that are available with Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. This section discusses
the Outlook 2007 Unified Messaging (UM) features that let a UM-enabled user who is using
Outlook 2007 select and configure available voice mail options.
Note:
The voice mail configuration options on the Voice Mail tab in Outlook 2007 appear
dimmed if a Unified Messaging server cannot be located on the network. These voice
mail options are also unavailable if the user's mailbox is located on a server that isrunning an earlier version of Microsoft Exchange.
Note:
When you log on to a computer that is joined to a domain and you access the Voice
Mail tab in Outlook 2007, you may be prompted to enter your credentials. This occurs
because the default security settings in Internet Explorer are configured to allow an
automatic logon only for Web sites that are listed in the Local intranet zone. To
correct this issue, add the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Client Access
server to the Local intranet zone or configure the user authentication to use an
automatic logon by using the current user credentials in Internet Explorer.
Telephone AccessBy using the options in the Telephone Access section on the Voice Mail tab, users can set
telephone access numbers, reset their voice mail PIN, and select the e-mail folder that they
will access when they use Outlook Voice Access.
Telephone Access Numbers
The Telephone Access Numbers box specifies the telephone number or telephone numbers
that users can dial to access their messages, calendar, and contacts by using Outlook Voice
Access. The numbers that are in this box are known as subscriber access numbers, pilot ID
numbers, pilot IDs, or pilot numbers, and are configured on a UM dial plan. The telephone
access numbers that are listed in this box are configured in the Telephone access numbers
section on the Subscriber Access tab of a UM dial plan. These telephone numbers apply to
all users who are members of the UM dial plan. For more information about how to configure
a UM dial plan, see How to Modify a Unified Messaging Dial Plan.

Voice MailUsers can configure several voice mail options in the Voice Mail section of the Voice Mail
tab. These options include the Play on Phone telephone number and voice mail greetings.
Play on Phone Number
The telephone number in the Play on Phone number box determines the telephone number
that the Unified Messaging system calls when the user is using the Play on Phone feature. Bydefault, the telephone number is set to the user's extension number, but can be changed by
the user. For more information about how to configure a Play on Phone number, see How to
Configure a Play on Phone Number .
Voice Mail Greetings
Users can use the Choose the greeting played to callers when leaving a message option
on the Voice Mail tab to select the type of greeting that callers will hear when they reach the
user's voice mail.
• Voice-mail greeting is the default selection and is the regular voice mail greeting. It
is the greeting that is used when the user is in the office but away from their desk for a
short time.
• The Out of Office voice mail greeting is generally used when a user is not in the
office or is away for an extended time.

For more information about how to choose a voice mail greeting, see How to Choose a Voice
Mail Greeting.
Play or Record a Greeting on Your Telephone
Clicking the Call button calls the Play on Phone number and plays the greeting to the user on
their telephone. Users can also use this option to play or record a new greeting from a
telephone.
Missed Call Notifications
Users can specify whether they want to receive missed call notification messages from the
Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging server by using the Send an e-mail to my Inbox when I
miss a phone call check box. When this box is selected, the user receives notifications when
callers try to contact them but do not leave voice messages. By default, the Send an e-mail
to my Inbox when I miss a phone call box is selected.

Voice mail greetings are the greetings that callers hear before they leave a voice mail
message. If the recipient of the voice mail message is in the office, the voice mail greeting is
played to callers. If the recipient has set their status to Out of Office, the Out of Office
greeting is played to callers. By default, standard voice mail greetings are played to callers.
However, you can record both personalized voice mail and Out of Office greetings.
Note:
The voice mail options found in Outlook 2007 are also available in Exchange 2007
Outlook Web Access.

Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access, they will be able to interact with the system
only by using touchtone inputs.
Reading and Reviewing E-MailUsers can listen to, reply to, create, and forward unread e-mail messages by using the
telephone. For example, if a user is expecting an important e-mail message, and does not
have access to the Internet, they can use a mobile phone to dial the subscriber access
number or the number that is used for Outlook Voice Access. After the user enters their
extension number, enters their PIN, and then says, "E-mail", the Unified Messaging server
will access the user's mailbox and read their unread e-mail. While the Unified Messaging
server reads an e-mail message, the user can say one of the following:
• "Reply", to reply to the sender.
• "Reply all", to reply to all recipients on the e-mail message.
• "Forward", to forward the e-mail message to another user.
• "Flag", to flag the message for follow up.
• "Hide", to hide the conversation.

Note:
When a conversation is hidden, it is hidden only for the current session. If a user logs
off and then logs on to their mailbox again, Unified Messaging will read e-mail
messages that are in the same conversation.
Managing Calendar ItemsUsers can listen to, reply to, create, and forward items in their calendar over the telephone.
For example, a user has a meeting at 10:00 A.M. However, because of some unexpected
delays, the user will be 15 minutes late. The user can inform the other meeting attendees that
they will be late by calling the telephone number for Outlook Voice Access, logging on to their Exchange 2007 mailbox, and then accessing the list of meetings for that day in their calendar.
After Unified Messaging reads the meeting request for the 10:00 A.M. meeting, the user can
use the "I'll be late" feature to inform all the meeting attendees that they will be 15 minutes
late. Each attendee will receive an e-mail message that informs them that the user will be 15
minutes late. The user also has the option to attach a voice mail message.
In another example, a user may have an important client who decides to schedule an all-day
meeting on very short notice. The user must cancel all their other meetings for that day in the
simplest possible way. By using the "Clear my calendar" feature, users can quickly and easily
clear their calendar for the whole day.
Send an I'll Be Late Message

Managing Personal Options and ContactsUsers can manage their personal options and contacts by using Outlook Voice Access. They
can:
• Call a personal Contact
• Locate and call a user in the directory
• Configure personal options, such as changing their PIN over the telephone.
When a user first sets up their mailbox, they must create personal and Out of Office greetings
that callers will hear when the user is unable to answer their telephone. If, for example, a user
realizes that they have forgotten to turn on an Out of Office voice greeting that will give callers
an alternative number to call if they have an immediate issue, the user can use Outlook Voice
Access to access their personal options and record and turn on an Out of Office greeting from
any telephone.
If a user has to contact an account manager with important information about a client, the
user can call the number that is used for Outlook Voice Access, use the directory search
feature to locate the account manager, and then place the call.
Note:
When users access the Personal Options menu, they must use the touchtone
interface.
