Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

You can allow users associated with a Unified Messaging (UM) dial plan to create and configure call answering rules, or prevent them from doing so. When this setting is enabled, UM-enabled users can create rules or actions and apply conditions to an incoming call to their phone number. They can transfer the call, have the caller leave a voice message, or allow the caller to locate them at a different phone number.

You can also allow users to create and configure call answering rules, or prevent them from doing so, by configuring the UM mailbox policy associated with the user or on the user's mailbox.
