Import and Export Custom Prompts for Unified Messaging
Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2
You can import custom prompts into a system mailbox or export custom prompts from system mailboxes that are used with Unified Messaging (UM) dial plans and auto attendants in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. Custom prompts are audio files used by Unified Messaging and include the following:
UM dial plans: Customized welcome greetings and informational announcements.
UM auto attendants: Customized after hours welcome greetings and menus, informational announcements, business hours and non-business hours welcome greetings and menus, and key mappings.
Custom prompts can be imported and exported by using the new cmdlet Import-UMPrompt and Export-UMPrompt cmdlets. The Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging cmdlet Copy-UMCustomPrompt isn't supported in Exchange 2010 Unified Messaging for copying custom prompts.
