Why each option
Cisco Unity Express does not automatically synchronize passwords with CUCME; the CUE administrator must manually change the user password on CUE to match the updated CUCME password.
There is no built-in automatic password synchronization mechanism between CUCME and CUE; the two systems manage their user credentials independently.
For users to authenticate seamlessly with voicemail on CUE, the passwords on both systems must be kept in sync; mismatched passwords cause authentication failures.
The voicemail PIN and the user password are separate credentials; the administrator only needs to update the password, not necessarily the PIN, when a CUCME password change occurs.
Synchronizing a user account refers to provisioning account data, not specifically to propagating a password change; the required action is an explicit manual password update on CUE.
Because CUCME and CUE maintain separate user databases without automatic password replication, the CUE administrator must manually update the user's password on CUE to match the password changed on CUCME, ensuring consistent authentication across both systems.
