After using this solution, when I press message button I am getting message "No Services Configured" which is dislabing VM services on that phone. Is there any way I can only disable directory services on that phone and not VoiceMail?

Hi

"Disable Corporate Directory" will disable only the "Directories button" on the phone and you will get a "host not found" message when u press the Directories Button.  This will not disable the "Messages button" for sure. Above solution will disable only the "Directories button" and it will not disable anyother options on IP Phone.

Inorder to solve your issue,

1. Check whether the "voicemail" service is enabled under IP Phone services.

Logon to Cisco Unified CM Administration and then Go to  Device > Device Settings > Phone Services > Check the "voicemail" Enable option.

2. Check the Enterprise Parameters

In the Cisco Unified CM Administration  Page, choose System > Enterprise Parameters

Look for the section called Phone URL Parmaeters.  In  the URL Messages, check whether you have entered a Valid URL.

Revert if you need anymore assistance. Thanks.

Hi, I had the same results as dpuranik.  This solution disables the directories button but also disables the messages button.  I followed your instructions step by step and tried many times with the same results.  Does this only work on certain releases of call manager 7.X and 8.X?

There is answer how to fix issue with voice mail button when you change service provisioning to external.

 

Choose System  > Enterprise ParametersThe URL Messages field is set to blank by default. Add this URL: http://<IP Address of Publisher>:8080/ccmcip/getmessagesmenu.jsp. 

 

Full article you can read here

 

Additionally for who want to block directory on CUCM 11.x you should insert external fake link at 2 places under phone configuration: Directory and Secure Directory URL
