Modify default mailbox features-
Im trying to figure out how I can modify the default mailbox features for new mailboxes that are created. I have active-sync configured and turned on, on the exchange server; because it is activated, any new mailboxes that are created automatically have the mobile access feature turned on. I would like to set this up so that when a new mailbox is created from the GUI this feature is disabled by default.
Anyone have any suggestions?

It looks like you'll have to stick with disabling it on per-user basis. If you create your users by script, then you'll need to add only one string to it:
Code Block
Set-CASMailbox -Identity <alias> -ActiveSyncEnabled $false

Thanks,
Yea I knew how to dissable it utilizing CLI creation. My concern is a couple of admins who will need the ability to create mailboxes and who arent CLI savy. They will use the GUI and our security policy requires all accounts to have active-sync dissabled by default unless aproval has been given.
Would just be nice to be able to modify the -default mailbox features from the GUI.

Code Block
$activeSyncEnabledMailboxes = ( (Get-CASMailbox -Identity nas@domain.tld), (Get-CASMailbox -Identity jkot@domain.tld))Compare-Object (Get-CASMailbox) $activeSyncEnabledMailboxes | foreach-object { if ( $_.SideIndicator -eq "<=" ) { $_ | Set-CASMailbox -ActiveSyncEnabled $false } }
