HOWTO: Disable voice mail journaling in Exchange 2007

One common question (or family of questions, I guess) that I get concerns how voice mail messages are handled in the Exchange 2007 transport engine. In particular, a couple of people at the "It's Time to Deploy" events have had questions about how voice messages are journaled. Depending on your organization's records management requirements, you may want to make sure that VMs are journaled, or you may want to affirmatively block them from journaling. It turns out that you can easily do this with the Set-TransportConfig task in EMS. A quick

Set-TransportConfig -VoiceMailJournalingEnabled:$false

will do the trick; the flag is set to enable VM journaling by default, and this command just turns it out.
