It is possible to turn off this feature in the activesync policy on the phone itself, but can this be disabled at a policy level so that any Windows Mobile 6.5 devices cannot sync text messages to the Exchange server or send text messages from Outlook 2010? We have removed the text message feature from OWA using the set-owavirtualdirectory command, but cannot see a way of removing this feature completely from activesync. Is this not possible for Windows Mobile devices synching with Outlook 2010?

Hi James. Setting that setting will disable the text message function from the device which is not what we are after. People still need to be able to send text messages from their phones, but the part that pulls texts from phones into inboxes and allows people to send text messages from within Outlook itself needs to be disabled. Any ideas?

Does anyone else have any ideas about this one?
