This topic is for administrators on the UM for Microsoft Exchange 5.0 or later systems only.

On Unified Messenger for Microsoft Exchange 5.0 or later systems, you must administer remote subscribers as users on the Microsoft Exchange system. This allows subscribers on the local UM for Microsoft Exchange system to send TUI messages from the UM system to remote subscribers via Message Networking.

   The New Object - Contact dialog box displays.
4. Enter the First name, Initials (middle initial), and Last name for the new user.
   The Full name is populated automatically.
5. Enter the Display Name (usually the same as the Full Name).
6. Click Next.
7. Click Modify next to the E-mail address field.
   The New E-mail Address dialog box displays.

   The Internet Address Properties dialog box displays.
10. On the General tab, enter the E-mail address, such as [email protected].
11. Select the Advanced tab.

13. In the MIME section, select Plain Text for Message Body.
14. Click OK.
15. Click Next.
