Hi

We have an Exchange 2010 setup, soon it will be Exchange 2013.

The scenario is:

We want users to use OA externally.

We don't want users to connect from any client they want e.g. private Mac Mail og home computer.
We want to control which device/client they connect with.

Is that possible?

I miss the possibilities to control OA the same way as AS where I can control how many "partnerships", what version of the client, app and so on.

Is there any way to control that with Outlook Anywhere? I can't see it, but the customer wants this sollution.

Hi and thanks

We don't want to block it. Then we would also have other methods, but we want to control who is connecting.

We don't want people to go to the library and connect through a public pc.

In that case we would only want them to run online mode so no data is cached.

Hi Steen,

Thanks for your update.

I understand that you are trying to find a method to block authenticated clients by using Outlook Anywhere.

However based on my knowledge, we cannot control them if we don't block Outlook Anywhere externally.

How about using VPN, restrict authenticated clients via GPO and block Outlook Anywhere externally? (Considering the VPN cost)

 

Hi

Thanks.

We allready have VPN's, but then there is a CEO with a private Macbook Air who wants to check mail without having to log in. He is now using Outlook anywhere :-)

We can't block it externally because of one user, and I just had to make sure that we can't control it per user or device.
