I think I may be over complicating something so wanted to toss it out there.
A small restaurant I put an HX5000 into has eight phones, that when an inbound call comes in, they all ring. Works for them as any waitress can grab the phone.
They want a single voicemail box, so that if they are busy and no one answers the call gets answered. No call routing, just a simple / single mail box what hits the indicator light on all eight extensions.
What is the best way for a multiple ring situation to share one box? I tried setting each phone to no ans/busy to go to the box, but that didn't work.
The follow-up is that the restaurant is closed two days a week, was thinking about using STAR for those days, would that that higher priority over a no-ans scenario?

You need to change that Multiple Ring to Single Ring, and put that extension list into a hunt group which recalls to a mailbox associated with one of the phones. You can use DEE to light the lamp on four phones, but not eight.
You can point the CO Trunk Group to a STAR with the default CRA playing a closed message. Add routing rules for the specific hours they are open, and send those calls to a CRA that times out to the hunt group.
Just remember that unless you add a night mode key, the users can't override the STAR. For this reason, I rarely use STAR applications.
