Syntax

Disable-UMCallAnsweringRule
       [-Identity] <UMCallAnsweringRuleIdParameter>
       [-Confirm]
       [-DomainController <Fqdn>]
       [-Mailbox <MailboxIdParameter>]
       [-WhatIf]
       [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Disable-UMCallAnsweringRule cmdlet disables the call answering rule by modifying its status variable. Disabling a call answering rule prevents it from being retrieved and processed when an incoming call is received. With this cmdlet, you can disable an existing call answering rule that's enabled.

When the call answering rule is created, you should disable the call answering rule when you're setting up conditions and actions. This prevents the call answering rule from being processed when an incoming call is received until you've correctly configured the call answering rule. After this task is completed, the cmdlet sets the parameters and the values specified.

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 2

Disable -UMCallAnsweringRule -Identity MyUMCallAnsweringRule -Mailbox tonysmith -WhatIf

This example uses the WhatIf switch to test whether the call answering rule MyUMCallAnsweringRule in the mailbox for Tony Smith is ready to be disabled and if there are any errors within the command.

Example 3

Disable-UMCallAnsweringRule -Identity MyUMCallAnsweringRule -Mailbox tonysmith -Confirm

This example disables the call answering rule MyUMCallAnsweringRule in the mailbox for Tony Smith and prompts the user logged on to confirm that they're disabling the call answering rule.

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.

This cmdlet has a built-in pause, so use -Confirm:$false to skip the confirmation.
