Deploying UM

For basic deployments, UM is surprisingly easy to deploy. In most environments, you need only a few basic objects, and a single server is sufficient. More complex environments might require a bit more work. This presumes that you have a functioning telephony environment set up so that PBX users can call one another, incoming calls from the PSTN are handled properly, and so on. A word of advice: if you have problems or shortcomings in your telephony system, it’s a good idea to stabilize (and, if possible, fix) them before beginning your Exchange UM deployment. You should also plan to deploy any IP PBXs or gateways you might need.
