Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Name

Required

System.String

This parameter specifies the display name for the UM auto attendant. The display name for the new UM auto attendant can contain as many as 64 characters.

UMDialPlan

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.UMDialPlanIdParameter

This parameter specifies the UM dial plan identifier for the UM dial plan to be associated with this UM auto attendant.

DomainController

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

To specify the fully qualified domain name of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to the Active Directory directory service, include the DomainController parameter on the cmdlet.

DTMFFallbackAutoAttendant

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.UMAutoAttendantIdParameter

This parameter specifies a secondary UM auto attendant. A secondary UM auto attendant can be used only if the SpeechEnabled parameter is set to $true.

PilotIdentifierList

SpeechEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

This 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 is not speech-enabled.

Status

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.StatusEnum

This parameter specifies whether the UM auto attendant that is being created will be enabled. If this parameter is not supplied, the UM auto attendant is created but left in a disabled state.

TemplateInstance

System.Management.Automation.PSObject

When an existing object is supplied to this parameter, the cmdlet will use the configuration of that object to create an identical copy of the object on a local or target server.

Detailed Description

The New-UMAutoAttendant cmdlet lets you create one or more UM auto attendants. Unified Messaging auto attendants have a forest-wide scope in the configuration container in Active Directory. When you create a new UM auto attendant, it 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 Unified Messaging servers to answer incoming calls by using the UM auto attendant.

To run the New-UMAutoAttendant cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the following:
