asterisk users - Sep 2007 - Asterisk and MS Exchange 2007

Hi,

Here you can find a list of MS Exchange 2007 compliant systems:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/telephony-advisor.mspx

You cannot see mention of Asterisk ;-))

Has anyone tried to "integrate" Asterisk and Exchange 2007 ?
A prospective customer is using MS Exchange 2007 and is asking for such
integration.

Passion aside, what do you think of such integration ?
Would you expect a better user experience from an Asterisk-Exchange bundle
than a pure Asterisk ?

Regards

I like the sentence:
"Since PBXs are so diverse and proprietary, PBX planning is probably the
most
difficult pre-deployment task."

:D 

Well, i believe everything that needs to be done is creating configuration 
notes, and sharing them, as here:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/pbx-partners.mspx

I just browsed some of "direct SIP configuration", they don't seem
complex.
So, if you got the exchange, just play with it, and send us and microsoft the 
notes (in oo.org doc  ;)

Atis

I've attempted it before. It all depends how you are wanting to integrate.
Do you mean to use Exchange as the voicemail system for Asterisk? If so,
this how to (
http://blog.lithiumblue.com/2007/04/accessing-exchange-2007-unified_29.html)
is useful in doing that. If you'd like your own environment to test with,
you can also download the Exchange 2007 Trial VM from Microsoft (
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=692A6E3C-81C9-4D8A-93FA-266D651735DC&displaylang=en
).

If you want to use the Exchange 2007 for IMAP storage, that one gets uglier
as in this version of Exchange, they removed the "master" user ability
(
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;937359). This means
that for each user, you would need their username and password in order to
store their voicemail in their Exchange mailbox.
