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 no 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.

Ok :( BIG FEATURE REQUEST!!!

I agree with Thomas!!!! :(

Not good....!

Not good....! Hi, There are Cmdlet Extension Agents in Exchange 2010 now. I don't remember whether this feature has been added in Exchange 2010 SP1, or from RTM, but it is available in Exchange 2010 and you can use it to update your objects at creation time automatically, like you can turn off OWA or IMAP etc at mailbox creation time using Cmdlet Extension agents. Cmdlet extension agents are components in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 called by Exchange 2010 cmdlets when the cmdlets run. As the name implies, cmdlet extension agents extend the capabilities of the cmdlets that call them by assisting in processing data or performing additional actions based on the requirements of the cmdlet. Cmdlet extension agents are available on any server role except the Edge Transport server role.
