Notes: You need to administer the voice mail domain only on the messaging applications server (MAS) that is the primary domain controller. The other servers, if any, will automatically pickup the properties established for the domain from the primary controller. You may be prompted to stop and restart the MAS after you have made changes to a property in Voice Mail System Configuration. If so, the changes will not take effect until you stop and restart the MAS. When configuring a voice mail domain, changes to domain-wide properties may take a few minutes to become effective on all MASs. It is recommended that you run only one instance of Voice Mail System Configuration at a time in the voice mail domain.

Before you begin

Ensure you have read Messaging Application Server (MAS) Basics. That chapter introduces you to the Voice Mail System Configuration application used to perform the configuration.

Start the Voice Mail System Configuration application from the Modular Messaging Software folder.
