Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Management Shell to disable a Unified Messaging (UM) IP gateway. By default, when you create a UM IP gateway, the status of the UM IP gateway is enabled. However, after the UM IP gateway is created, you can disable the operation of the UM IP gateway by setting its status variable to disabled. After you disable the UM IP gateway, the IP gateway device with which it is associated with will no longer process Unified Messaging incoming calls.
