Outlook Anywhere for a restricted subset of users
Any creative suggestions as to how to allow Outlook Anywhere for only a sub-set of your users? Assume we'd want a small percentage of users 'enabled.' - Separate CAS server? restricted certs? THis would be for external access of mailboxes via Outlook
2007 & 2010. All ideas welcomed. Thanks!

We had this discussion come up recently in-house. Because there is a way to disable on a per-user basis only you’d have to schedule a script to run.
Like this:
$ActiveSyncEnabledUsers = Get-Content ActiveSyncEnabledUsers.txt
Get-CASMailbox -resultSize unlimited -filter {ActiveSyncEnabled -eq $true} | Foreach-Object {
if($ActiveSyncEnabledUsers -contains $_.Name)
{
$_ | Set-CASMailbox -ActiveSyncEnabled:$true
}
else
{
$_ | Set-CASMailbox -ActiveSyncEnabled:$false
}
}

oops, just realized you said outlook anywhere, not activesync. no problem. same script, but use
MAPIBlockOutlookRpcHttp instead.
"The MAPIBlockOutlookRpcHttp parameter specifies whether clients can connect to Outlook by using Outlook Anywhere."
