Detailed Description

The Remove-UMCallAnsweringRule cmdlet removes an existing UM call answering rule that has been created and stored in a UM-enabled user's mailbox. When you remove an existing call answering rule, all of the remaining call answering rules are still processed in order of their priority.

After this task is completed, the cmdlet sets the parameters and the values specified.

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.
