This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Management Shell to change the second method that callers use to look up names when they call in to a subscriber access number that is configured on a UM dial plan or when they call in to a telephone number that is configured on a UM auto attendant that is associated with a dial plan.
When you create a dial plan, you can configure the primary and secondary methods that callers will use to look up names when they search for and contact a user. Callers can use either touchtone or voice inputs. The primary and secondary settings are located on the dial plan's Settings tab and are called Dial by name primary method and Dial by name secondary method.
The following options are available for the Dial by name primary method and the Dial by name secondary method:
Last First
First Last
SMTP Address
None
Note
If None is selected as the dial by name secondary method, only the dial by name primary method will be available to callers who want to locate users.
