Hi, I'd like to modify the default Mailbox Features for new Users with mailboxes. I only want the smtp feature to be active. OWA, Activesync, UM and so on should only be added when there's a need to. Can this be configured somewhere? Thanks!

Hi, u can configure it using EMC or EMS. Using powershell u can script it. This is the command to enable or disable OWA Set-CASMailbox user@domain.com -OWAEnabled $true or Set-CASMailbox user@domain.com -OWAEnabled $false or to disable it for all users in an OU: get-mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -OrganizationalUnit "YourADDomain.com\YourOU" | Set-CASMailbox -OWAEnabled $false you can also set/reset other protocols using following parameters in single command: ActiveSyncEnabled ImapEnabled MAPIEnabled For details plz have a look into http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125264(EXCHG.80).aspx Regards, Laeeq Qazi|Team Lead(Exchange + Sharepoint + BES + DynamicsCRM) www.HostingController.com

Hi, I knew those commands. But I don't want to run those cmdlets everytime a new user gets a mailbox. Isn't there a way to modify the default features that new users get? In this article I only find some other parameters but not how to set them as default.

Hi, There is now way to clear them by default. The only way is to use Templates in Exchange 2007 but only when you create mailboxes using powershell command, not using EMC.
