I have been trying to find commands to set a user's Skype for Business voicemail settings using Powershell. Background: I am very new to all of this IT business! :(No on-prem servers. We are fully a "Microsoft Online" shop: Office 365, Skype for Business online, SharePoint online, Azure AD, etc. Here is what I am trying to do:
As a bonus, here is an example of our own holiday voicemail greeting here at OpenPhone:
Here are some tips for leaving courteous and business-like voicemails that will get returned. Think it through first. ⊠Introduce yourself. ⊠Speak slowly. ⊠Speak clearly. ⊠Mention your availability. ⊠Keep it short and sweet. ⊠Make sure your details are clear. ⊠End the voicemail professionally. How do I get a professional voicemail? âHi, youâve reached [your name] at [your company]. ⊠âHi, youâve reached [name] at [company]. ⊠âHey, this is [your name]. ⊠âHello, youâve reached [your name and title]. ⊠âHello, [Personâs name] is chasing new adventures and is no longer with [Company name].
Voicemail is one of the oldest and most basic features found in phone systems, yet it also seems to be the most overlooked feature, too. Businesses usually leave a generic greeting for callers, and think nothing more of it. But voicemail greetings are one of those seemingly trivial things that help project your brandâs image and say a lot about your company. So in order to help you create a voicemail greeting that makes people feel as welcomed, follow these tips below:
When recording your business voicemail greeting, be sure to identify and introduce yourself and your business. This helps to confirm your caller that they have reached whom they intended.
As in the situation above, a full mailbox can be really frustrating for an employer who is trying to get in touch with you. Set aside time at least once a week to make sure you clean out your voicemail. You want to be as accessible as possible for potential employers. Iâve called a few job seekers lately to help with their search and have gotten this message, âWeâre sorry. The person you are trying to reach has not yet set up their voicemail system. Please try again later.â This makes you look a little lazy and can frustrate the hiring managers. As soon as you get a new phone, make sure you make it a priority to get your voicemail up and running. Definitely make sure you have it set up before you start sending out job applications. I understand this could slip your mind, but itâs important that you do everything you can to show the hiring manager that you are reliable and reachable.
With that said, we thought it would be a good idea to provide you with a few examples of voicemail greetings. As you read through these, keep in mind that the effectiveness of your voicemail greeting is one-quarter what you say, and three-quarters how you say it.
Donât be too hard on yourself. Chances are, that voicemail that youâve recorded and deleted thirty times has been just fine. Your main goal is not to get in the way of the caller leaving a message, which is exactly what can happen if you overthink it or drone on too long.
The biggest barrier is actually getting them to leave the voicemail in the first place. Donât get in your own way by recording a long, drawn-out voicemail greeting that might do more to convince them to hang up than actually leave a message.
The first version of this blog was written in 2016, since then there have been a plethora of updates with Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business Server 2019 and Exchange Server 2019. But it is clear that Microsoft is pulling the Voicemail component (Unified Messaging) out of the Exchange product. Here is the latest on theâŠ

Rollover Hunting is a feature that is managed by the Account Manager or Phone Manager. It allows incoming calls to your primary phone line to roll over to the next available line and, if al l lines are busy or not answered, the call can roll over to voicemail. It will hunt through all lines in the group once to find an idle line. You can configure multiple hunt groups and the number of rings before the call is routed to the next li ne. Each hunt group must have a minimum of two lines and a unique primary number. There are three hunt sequence options:
A busy greeting should tell callers that your phone lines are currently in use. You can direct people to wait on hold or leave a message. For example, âHello, youâve reached [company name]. Our representatives are currently helping other customers. Please stay on the line to speak with the next available team member, or press one to leave a message and weâll call you back.â
âGreetings! Youâve reached [your name and position]âs voicemail. I am away from my phone or [other important and expected job function].
