Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example creates the UM auto attendant MyUMAutoAttendant that can accept incoming calls using the extension number 55000 but isn't speech-enabled.

	Copy Code
New-UMAutoAttendant -Name MyUMAutoAttendant -UMDialPlan MyUMDialPlan -PilotIdentifierList 55000 -Status Enabled

EXAMPLE 2

This example creates the speech-enabled UM auto attendant MyUMAutoAttendant using the extension numbers 56000 and 56100 that can accept incoming calls.

	Copy Code
New-UMAutoAttendant -Name MyUMAutoAttendant -UMDialPlan MyUMDialPlan -PilotIdentifierList 56000,56100 -SpeechEnabled $true -Status Enabled

Detailed Description

The New-UMAutoAttendant cmdlet creates one or more UM auto attendants. UM auto attendants have a forest-wide scope in the configuration container in Active Directory. When you create a UM auto attendant, the auto attendant isn’t speech-enabled or able to answer incoming calls by default. The auto attendant is linked to a single UM dial plan that contains a list of extension numbers. Linking the UM auto attendant to the UM dial plan enables the associated Mailbox servers to answer incoming calls using the UM auto attendant.

After this task is completed, a UM auto attendant is created.

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 auto attendants" entry in the Unified Messaging Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Name	Required	System.String	The Name parameter specifies the display name for the UM auto attendant. The display name for the UM auto attendant can contain as many as 64 characters.
UMDialPlan	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.UMDialPlanIdParameter	The UMDialPlan parameter specifies the UM dial plan identifier for the UM dial plan to be associated with this UM auto attendant.
Confirm	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.
DomainController	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn	The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.
DTMFFallbackAutoAttendant	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.UMAutoAttendantIdParameter	The DTMFFallbackAutoAttendant parameter specifies a secondary UM auto attendant. A secondary UM auto attendant can be used only if the SpeechEnabled parameter is set to `$true`.
Organization	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OrganizationIdParameter	The Organization parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.
PilotIdentifierList	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.MultiValuedProperty	The PilotIdentifierList parameter specifies a list of one or more pilot numbers. Pilot numbers route incoming calls to Mailbox servers. The calls are then answered by the UM auto attendant.
SharedUMDialPlan	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The SharedUMDialPlan parameter specifies whether the auto attendant being created is linked or associated with a dial plan outside the scope of the organization. If you specify this parameter, the auto attendant can be linked with another tenant's dial plan. This parameter is used during tenant provisioning and is only used in a data center.
SpeechEnabled	Optional	System.Boolean	The SpeechEnabled parameter specifies whether the UM auto attendant is speech-enabled. The default value is `$true`. If this parameter is omitted, or if the value is `$false`, the UM auto attendant isn't speech-enabled.
Status	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.StatusEnum	The Status parameter specifies whether the UM auto attendant being created will be enabled. If this parameter isn't supplied, the UM auto attendant is created but left in a disabled state.
WhatIf	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.
