Detailed Description

Run the Disable-CmdletExtensionAgent cmdlet on an Exchange 2010 server to disable an existing cmdlet extension agent. When you disable a cmdlet extension agent, the agent is disabled for the entire organization. When an agent is disabled, it's not made available to cmdlets. Cmdlets can no longer use the agent to perform additional operations.

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.
