Hello All, We have a very specifc requirment wherein; we want our users, both internal and external users have only outlook anywhere/https connection to their mailboxes. Is there a way i can do that. I couldnt find an option with Set-CASMailbox commandlet to do this. Any suggestions on this will be of great help. Regards ShahinShanu

The only way that i know to do that is using GPO to set Outlook to prefer RPC over HTTPS insted of MAPI. And that is done buy chaining the registry on the client machines with a GPO as i dont think there is a gpo made for setting up the Outlook connection mode (but i could be wrong). rgd

As Zarko mentioned you can try it that way. Typically, if you configure your profile internally to use Outlook Anywhere, it should use Outlook Anywhere. You can confirm that by holding crtl and right clicking on the outlook icon on the taskpad (next to the clock) and clicking on connection status. This should show all connections using HTTP. (unless you have configured it to use TCP first) Out of curiosity - Why do you want to do that for the internal users as well? -- Regards, Vik Singh -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to click ??Mark as Answer? on the post that helps you, and to click ??Unmark as Answer? if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Hi, I think you may disable the unwanted features as below: Set-CASMailbox -ActiveSyncEnabled $False Set-CASMailbox -IMAPEnabled $False Set-CASMailbox -MAPIEnabled $False Set-CASMailbox -PopEnabled $FalseRegards from www.windowsadmin.info

But if u disable MAPI aren't u disabling everything?

ZarkoC, I mean you may set False value for any CAS Functionalities.Regards from www.windowsadmin.info

Hi, Set-CASMailbox cmdlet is only available on Exchange 2007 and 2010. If you disable the MAPI protocol, the Outlook anywhere feature will not work. I also recommend you use a GPO to configure the users profile to use Outlook anywhere.
