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.
