Set voice mail account to "unactivated" after it's been activated

Is it possible to set voice mail account to unactivated after it has been activated?
Reason is I want the comedian mail setup guide to play again when the user accesses the vm account.

So do you mean the menu provided when a user presses 0 while in comedian mail possibly??

No. When a voice mail account is default unactivated, the first time a user logs in, he will be guided through a vm setup menu to record greetings, change password, etc.

Hi,

I wonder if this is still true

(ie setting the password to the voicemail number triggered this behavior back then. Is this still true, I donā€™t know and itā€™s time for me to logoff for the day and go to sleepā€¦ :sleeping:)

Good luck and have a nice day,

Nick

edit: The description of Force Name under Voicemail Admin, then Settings > General of the voice mail box is ā€œForce a new user to record their name. A new user is determined by the password being the same as the mailbox number. Default is ā€˜Yesā€™ [forcename]ā€ so this is apparently still trueā€¦
