Why each option
A shared voicemail box needs a stable password that cannot be altered by any individual user and will not expire to ensure continuous shared access.
Setting 'User Cannot Change' prevents any one user from modifying the shared password and inadvertently locking out all other users who rely on it. Combined with 'Does Not Expire', the mailbox remains accessible without administrative intervention to reset an expired password on a schedule.
No Password removes authentication entirely, creating a security risk by allowing anyone to access the shared mailbox without credentials.
Setting 'Does Not Expire' ensures the shared mailbox password remains valid indefinitely, preventing service interruption that would occur if the password expired and blocked all users from accessing the mailbox.
User Must Change at Next Login would break shared access because the first user to log in would be forced to set a new password, locking out all other users.
Locked By Administrator prevents all users from accessing the mailbox, defeating the purpose of a shared voicemail box.
