Hi

How can i exclude some users from disable Direct File Access on my OWA

Thanks 

Hi Yasser,

You can enable Direct File Access for certain users by setting an Outlook Web App mailbox policy. Settings in a policy override those set at the virtual directory.

It can be done in either the ECP under Permissions > Outlook Web App policies

or via the Shell using:

Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -Identity <owa policy> -DirectFileAccessOnPrivateComputersEnabled

Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -Identity <owa policy> -DirectFileAccessOnPublicComputersEnabled

Thanks for you reply and help

how we can apply user for this owa policy ?

No problem Yasser.

Once you have created a policy with the settings you require you can apply it to a user (or multiple users) by using either the ECP or using the shell:

In ECP there are 2 ways:

1. Select the mailbox (or mailboxes) then select "View Details" under "Email Connectivity". This will open a dialog allowing you to apply the relavant owa policy.

2. Edit the mailbox and navigate to "Mailbox Features". Then select "View Details" under "Email Connectivity". This will open a dialog allowing you to apply the relavant owa policy.

In Shell:

Set-CASMailbox -Identity <email address> -OwaMailboxPolicy:<owa policy name>

If you need to do multiple mailboxes using the shell you can pipe it through a Get-CASMailbox command.
