Description

The Disable-UMAutoAttendant cmdlet disables an existing UM auto attendant that's currently enabled. The Disable-UMAutoAttendant cmdlet disables the UM auto attendant by modifying its status variable. The Disable-UMAutoAttendant cmdlet can't disable the UM auto attendant if it's linked or associated to the UM hunt group associated with the default UM dial plan.

After this task is completed, the UM auto attendant is disabled and won't accept incoming calls.

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

Disable-UMAutoAttendant -Identity MyUMAutoAttendant

This example disables the UM auto attendant MyUMAutoAttendant.

Parameters

-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.
