This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Management Shell to delete an existing Unified Messaging (UM) auto attendant. After you delete an existing UM auto attendant, the incoming calls that were answered by the UM auto attendant must be answered by a human operator.

Note:
A UM auto attendant cannot be deleted if it is associated with a UM dial plan as the default UM auto attendant.
