Unified Messaging (UM) hunt groups are created and configured to enable subscribers to access the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging system. This topic discusses Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging (UM) hunt groups and how they can be managed in your Exchange 2007 organization.

Managing UM Hunt Groups

After you install the Unified Messaging server role on a computer that is running Exchange 2007 and deploy Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging on your network, you may have to create and manage Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging hunt groups.

Note

UM hunt groups cannot be modified after they are created. If you have to modify a UM hunt group, you must first delete the existing UM hunt group and then re-create a new UM hunt group that has the new configuration settings.

You can manage Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging hunt groups in your organization by using the Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Management Shell. Use the Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Management Shell to administer and configure specific settings for UM hunt groups.
