Cisco Unity connection - Directory handler

[boucetta.christophe]

Hello,

I have a question or maybe, if i can have some advice.

I have a customer who would like to use Cisco Unity Connection only for Auto Attendant features, voicemail are provide by Exchange UM. So, no voicemail licences (only 5 presently to get auto attendant features)"

To manage user into multiple Directory handler, What type of account do you recommend for create user? users without mailbox? contact?

Need to have extension and a search mechanism for department directory lookup.

Thanks for any advice.

You could create users without mailbox for administrative functions.

Ok, if you need to dial a particular extension then a contact is required.
