To have both of them work together, you need to have Exchange Server 2007 SP1. Here are the key steps that you need to perform to configure them:
- Configure the new dial plan. To do this, run this command from the powershell: New-umdialplan -name OCSPlan -Uritype "Sipname" -Voipsecurity "SipSecured" -Numberofdigitsinextension 4
- Go to properties of this dial plan and set the subscriber access number. Subscriber access is used by users to access their individual mailboxes to retrieve e-mail, voice messages, contacts, and calendaring information. Outlook Voice Access is the new Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging feature that lets subscribers access their Exchange 2007 mailbox.
- Apply this dial plan to the UM server: set-umserver -id UM_Server_Name -dialplans OCSPlan
- Run Powershell script "EXCHUCUTIL.PS1" from Exchange Management Shell. This is installed when you apply SP1 for Exchange 2007. To run this successfully you might need to modify the properties of the Start Menu shortcut for the Exchange Management Shell so that it launches directly from the Scripts folder "Program files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Scripts".
- On the OCS server, run OCSumutil with the following command line: ocsumutil /domain:yourdomain.com
Now you can configure your users for Unified Messaging. You can do this from Exchange Management Console and right click on the user to Enable Unified Messaging and select the dial plan.
So now when you log on with this user to Communicator 2007, you will see the additional call menu from where you can forward your calls or redirect incoming calls to voicemail.
And now you get a Missed Conversation notification when someone IMs you and you are offline or away:
Also, You get the missed call notifications or voice mails when someone calls you via OCS client:

Hi Vinay!
Today, at lunch time, we needed bring all system's down, and when the system's power on, when i try to call Voice Mail, now i get "incompactible security setting".
:S
Ok, i find the soluction: http://blogs.technet.com/daveh/archive/2009/03/30/incompatible-security-setting-error-encountered-when-calling-voice-mail-from-microsoft-office-communicator.aspx
it was all a matter of reboot!!! :o)
Perfect!
I had two children. One of them unpleasantly astonished me. She crashed my computer. She is 2 years old. I tried to restore my data. But I could exactly settle my data only for MS Exchange and general role in this achievement has one software. This tool to my way of thinking has many good resources for solving such problem - exchange disaster recovery.
without any intention to hurt the feeling of someone, but how can you use this? I mean is that nobody in here has proved the freedom of the open source, more chances and better options.
Microsoft offers us the most perfect solutions for all of us and that's excellent because that's what we're looking for "solutions" they also provide the most modern and useful applications to make the life easier.
