Chapter 6 Troubleshooting Personal Assistant

Resolving Problems with Using Personal Assistant

All Users Cannot Browse Voice Mail

If users are transferred to the main voice mail number when they try to access voice mail in

Personal Assistant, rather than being taken directly to the applicable voice mailbox, check the messaging configuration (System > Messaging). Ensure that the voice mail servers are identified by unqualified DNS name, for example unity1 rather than unity1.domain.com. Do not use IP addresses.

If the DNS name is not the problem, reinstall the Personal Assistant servers and specify a Cisco Unity domain and administrative user when asked for Windows domain information.

Some Users Cannot Browse Voice Mail

If users in general can access voice mail, but some users cannot, there is probably a problem with the Cisco Unity user setup information, or a consistency problem with Cisco CallManager.

Make sure the user voice mailbox number matches the user extension in Cisco CallManager, and that the user ID is the same in Cisco Unity and Cisco CallManager.

If the mailbox number and extension are not the problem, check the Personal Assistant messaging configuration (System > Messaging), and ensure that the user voice mail server is properly configured in Personal Assistant.

Finally, if you are using more than one voice mail server, users can select the voice mail number when configuring Personal Assistant user settings. Check the user configuration to ensure that the correct voice mail number has been selected.

Users Cannot Log On to Cisco Unity Voice Mail

If users cannot log on to the voice mail system from Personal Assistant, it is likely that the

Personal Assistant voice mail profile in the Outlook Client was not created correctly. The profile should be automatically created the first time someone accesses voice mail through the Personal Assistant server.

Do the following two procedures to verify whether the profile was created and to manually create it, if applicable.

To Verify the Personal Assistant Profile in the Outlook Client

Step 1 On the Personal Assistant Server, click Start > Settings > Control Panel.

Step 2 Double-click the Mail icon.

Note If a memory error message appears, it may be that the Outlook path has not been added to the system path variable. Add the Outlook path and repeat this procedure.

If the profile window is blank, Personal Assistant failed to create the profile. Skip to the “To Manually Create the Personal Assistant Voice Mail Profile in the Outlook Client” procedure on page 6-8. When you are done creating the profile, repeat this procedure to verify it.

If the Cisco Unity System Profile Properties window opens, skip to Step 3.

Step 3 Click Properties.
