Example 1: Addressing a System Broadcast Message Within the Directory by Using the Digital Networking
Configuration
A subscriber on ChicagoUnity who has been granted permission to send system broadcast messages to
subscribers on multiple servers can address a message from the Cisco Unity Broadcast Message
Administrator by using the options shown in Table 8-1, which result in a system broadcast message
being transmitted to all subscribers on the local server or to all subscribers on multiple servers within
the directory (ADForest1). These options use the existing Digital Networking configuration; no
additional configuration is required.
