We are in the process of ditching Cisco Unity for Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging; however, I just came to realization that Exchange doesn't seem to provide a way to upload a WAV file to be used as a voicemail greeting. This could be a problem, since we have several mailboxes that use professionally recorded greetings.

I found this article which shows how to access the data through MAPI, but it does not provide a way to upload new files.

Note, this is not for the auto attendants, but for actual voicemail greetings.
