Edit an LCOS
Best practices dictate that you always keep your default LCOS settings intact. If you need to modify an LCOS, we suggest that you copy the most appropriate of the default LCOS into a new LCOS (see "Add an LCOS" above) and modify it there. After you save the new LCOS, you need to assign it to the appropriate mailboxes. This way, if you have problems/conflicts with the new COS, you can always restore the default until you have finished troubleshooting.
Delete an LCOS
Deleting an LCOS that is in use by mailboxes will cause all of those mailboxes to be assigned the default (1) LCOS. A warning message will be displayed to allowing you to cancel the operation. If you are deleting the default LCOS, the mailboxes assigned to it will be assigned to the next available LCOS. You cannot delete the last remaining LCOS in the system; therefore, you cannot select all LCOS for deletion.
To delete one or multiple LCOS:
-
In the Limit COS list, select one or multiple LCOS, and then click Delete. The system prompts you to confirm the deletion.
-
To confirm the deletion, click Yesfor a single deletion or Yes to allfor a range.
OR
To reject the deletion, click No.
Assign a New LCOS to a Mailbox
-
Follow the procedure to edit a mailbox and when instructed to edit mailbox parameters, enter the new LCOS on the Class of Service tab.
