Issue: Your company asked Default behavior for new user mailbox creation , ActiveSync future to be disabled. You find out by default every MB user has ActiveSync future turned on. If you have some of your users wished to use ActiveSync while majority of the users are disabled the out the box Exchange configuration nor GUI will come into rescue but PowerShell.
See fallowing KB articles for disabling ActiveSync ,
This topic describes how to disable Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. When you disable Exchange ActiveSync on a computer that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 that has the Client Access server role installed, you disable the application pool that Exchange ActiveSync uses. An application pool is a group of processes that Internet Information Services (IIS) uses to perform a task.
To see ActiveSync Enabled users run fallowing PS ( Get is harmless, as the PS does not make any changes, you need to watch out for set function (-: )
| Get-CASMailbox -resultSize unlimited -filter {activeSyncEnabled -eq $true} |
Disable Active Sync for All Users
| get-Mailbox | set-CASMailbox -ActiveSyncEnabled:$False |
Enable ActiveSync for All Users
| get-Mailbox | set-CASMailbox -ActiveSyncEnabled:$True |
Now we will disable it for Everyone but for some selected users with fallowing Script
| Get-Mailbox | set-CASMailbox -ActiveSyncEnabled:$True | Get-content C:\ActiveSyncEnabledUsers.txt |
On the C drive of my server I have created simple TXT file for the output
last one
| Get-Mailbox | ForEach {Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics -Mailbox:$_.Identity} | ft DeviceFriendlyName, Devicetype, DeviceUserAgent |
