[<CommonParameters>]Description
When the mailbox is enabled for Unified Messaging, the settings from a UM mailbox policy are applied to the mailbox. After the mailbox is enabled for Unified Messaging, the user can use the UM features that are included in Microsoft Exchange.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1
Enable-UMMailbox -Identity tonysmith@contoso.com -UMMailboxPolicy MyUMMailboxPolicy -Extensions 51234 -PIN 5643892 -NotifyEmail administrator@contoso.com -PINExpired $trueThis example enables Unified Messaging on the mailbox for tonysmith@contoso.com, sets the extension and PIN for the user that must be changed when the user logs on to Outlook Voice Access, assigns the UM mailbox policy MyUMMailboxPolicy to the user's mailbox, and then sends an email message that contains the Unified Messaging welcome information to administrator@contoso.com.
Example 2
Enable-UMMailbox -Identity tonysmith@contoso.com -UMMailboxPolicy MyUMMailboxPolicy -Extensions 51234 -PIN 5643892 -SIPResourceIdentifier "tonysmith@contoso.com" -PINExpired $trueThis example enables Unified Messaging on a SIP-enabled mailbox for tonysmith@contoso.com, associates the UM mailbox policy MyUMMailboxPolicy, and sets the extension number, SIP resource identifier, and PIN for the user that must be changed when the user logs on to Outlook Voice Access, and then sends an email message that contains the Unified Messaging welcome information to tonysmith@contoso.com.
Parameters
-AutomaticSpeechRecognitionEnabled
The AutomaticSpeechRecognitionEnabled parameter specifies whether to enable Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) for the UM mailbox. Valid values are:
- $true: ASR is enabled for the mailbox. This is the default value. ASR is available only if the user's specified preferred language is installed.
- $false: ASR is disabled for the mailbox.
| Type: | Boolean |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016 |
-Confirm
The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.
- Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax:
-Confirm:$false. - Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.

| Type: | Fqdn |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |

| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |

-Extensions
The Extensions parameter specifies the extension number for the user. Either a single extension number or an array of telephone number extensions can be specified. The user's extension must be unique to the UM dial plan.
If you don't use this parameter, the command attempts to use a default telephone number value for the user. If you're using a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) or E.164 dial plan, you also need to use the SIPResourceIdentifier parameter.
| Type: | MultiValuedProperty |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |

-IgnoreDefaultScope
The IgnoreDefaultScope switch tells the command to ignore the default recipient scope setting for the Exchange PowerShell session, and to use the entire forest as the scope. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.
This switch enables the command to access Active Directory objects that aren't currently available in the default scope, but also introduces the following restrictions:
- You can't use the DomainController parameter. The command uses an appropriate global catalog server automatically.
- You can only use the DN for the Identity parameter. Other forms of identification, such as alias or GUID, aren't accepted.

If you don't use this parameter, a system-generated PIN is sent to the user. By default, the PIN generated by the system contains six numeric characters.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |

-PINExpired
The PINExpired parameter specifies whether the PIN is treated as expired. If the PIN isn't supplied, the PIN is treated as expired and users are prompted to reset their PIN the next time they log on.
