Use the Disable-UMServer cmdlet to set the status of a Unified Messaging (UM) server to disabled. This prevents the Unified Messaging server from processing UM calls.
Syntax
Disable-UMServer -Identity <UMServerIdParameter>
[-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController
<Fqdn>] [-Immediate <$true | $false>] [-WhatIf
[<SwitchParameter>]]

Detailed 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 all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "UM server" entry in the Unified Messaging Permissions topic.
