Disable-UMServer

Reference

Module:: ExchangePowerShell

Applies to:: Exchange Server 2010

This cmdlet is available only in Exchange Server 2010.

Use the Disable-UMServer cmdlet to set the status of an Exchange Server 2010 Unified Messaging (UM) server to disabled. This prevents the Unified Messaging server from processing UM calls.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Syntax

Disable-UMServer
       [-Identity] <UMServerIdParameter>
       [-Confirm]
       [-DomainController <Fqdn>]
       [-Immediate <Boolean>]
       [-WhatIf]
       [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Disable-UMServer cmdlet sets the status of a Unified Messaging server. A UM server has a logical status variable controlled using the enable and disable cmdlets. A UM server won't process any new calls unless it's in the enabled state. With this status variable, you can start or stop call processing on a UM server so the UM server can be brought online or taken offline in a controlled way.

After this task is completed, the UM server can no longer:

Answer any incoming calls
Respond to Play on Phone requests from a Client Access server
Be used to manage UM-enabled mailboxes
Be queried when a diagnostic task is used

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-UMServer -Identity MyUMServer

This example disables Unified Messaging on the Unified Messaging server named MyUMServer but doesn't disconnect calls that are being processed.

Example 2

Disable-UMServer -Identity MyUMServer -Immediate $true

This example disables Unified Messaging on the Unified Messaging server named MyUMServer and disconnects all calls being processed.

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.

-DomainController

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True

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