Description

The Remove-UMAutoAttendant cmdlet deletes an existing UM auto attendant from Active Directory. The Remove-UMAutoAttendant cmdlet deletes the UM auto attendant and also deletes instances of the UM auto attendant from any associated UM dial plans. When the UM auto attendant is deleted, incoming telephone calls to the configured extensions are no longer answered by the UM auto attendant.

After this task is completed, the UM auto attendant is removed from Active Directory.

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

This example deletes 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.
