		<title>MWI with Exchange 2010 and Cisco Unified Communication Manager 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An exciting feature of Exchange 2010 is its support for message waiting indicators (MWI).  While this doesn&#8217;t seem like that big of a deal, one of the biggest complaints about Exchange 2007 was its lack of MWI support.  Even though Exchange Unified Messaging is able to send voicemails to an email address, most users are accustomed to the phone [...]]]></description>
