Detailed Description
The Enable-UMCallAnsweringRule cmdlet enables the call answering rule by modifying its status variable. When the call answering rule is created, it's enabled. This cmdlet allows you to enable a previously disabled call answering rule. Enabling a call answering rule enables the cmdlet to retrieve the call answering rule including the conditions and actions for a specified call answering rule.
After this task is completed, the cmdlet sets the parameters and values specified. When you enable a call answering rule, the call answering rule is processed when an incoming call is received.
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 call answering rules" entry in the Unified Messaging Permissions topic.
