The UM troubleshooting tool is a diagnostic cmdlet which helps Exchange UM administrators to identify misconfigurations in telephony equipment and Exchange 2010 SP1 Unified Messaging settings. It emulates calls and runs a series of diagnostic tests, stating the reason and possible solutions for issues that have been detected. This is the tool you should use whenever someone in your organization complains: “My voice mail is not working!”.
