Which statement about how Cisco Unity Express sets its system clock is true?
The correct answer is A. The clock is set by configuring an NTP server and time zone via the Unity Express CLI. Cisco Unity Express requires explicit NTP server and time zone configuration entered via its own CLI to keep an accurate system clock.

- CThe CUE clock gets initialized automatically without requiring any configuration.
- DThe Unity Express clock must use the same NTP resource as the Cisco Unified CME router.

Why each option
Cisco Unity Express requires explicit NTP server and time zone configuration entered via its own CLI to keep an accurate system clock.
CUE does not inherit clock settings automatically from the host router or any external source; an administrator must configure an NTP server address and the appropriate time zone directly on the CUE module using its CLI commands (ntp server and clock timezone). Without this explicit configuration, voicemail time stamps and scheduled tasks will reflect incorrect times.
The CUE clock is not set through a manual clock-set command; it relies on NTP synchronization configured via the CLI rather than a static manual entry.
CUE does not automatically initialize its clock without configuration; both an NTP server and a time zone must be explicitly defined by an administrator.
CUE can synchronize with any reachable NTP server and is not restricted to using the same NTP resource that the hosting CME router uses.
