Introduction to creating subscriber accounts

Note: This chapter describes how to create subscriber accounts for Microsoft Exchange. If you are running Avaya Modular Messaging — IBM Lotus Domino version, see your IBM Lotus Domino documentation.

You can create subscriber accounts by enabling Avaya Modular Messaging users for voice mail. Depending on your configuration, you create subscriber accounts in one of the following two ways:

If your MAS is peered with an Exchange 5.5 server, you create subscriber accounts in Microsoft Exchange Administrator.

For more information, see Creating subscriber accounts under Exchange 5.5 administration.

If your MAS is peered with an Exchange 2000/2003 server, you create subscriber accounts using Windows Active directory Users and Computers.

For more information, see Creating subscriber accounts under Exchange 2000/2003 administration.

Note: To use Modular Messaging Voice Mail Administration in Windows Active Directory, you must be running an Avaya Modular Messaging 4.0 MAS or higher.
