how to Enable & Disable Active Sync For all user Exchange 2007 and 2010

Enable & Disable Active Sync For all user Exchange 2007 and 2010

To see ActiveSync Enabled users run fallowing PS (  Get is harmless, as the PS does not make any changes, you need to watch out for set function (-: )

Get-CASMailbox -resultSize unlimited -filter {activeSyncEnabled -eq $true}

Disable Active Sync for All Users

get-Mailbox | set-CASMailbox -ActiveSyncEnabled:$False

Enable ActiveSync for All Users

get-Mailbox | set-CASMailbox -ActiveSyncEnabled:$True

Now we will disable it for Everyone but for some selected users with fallowing Script

Get-Mailbox | set-CASMailbox -ActiveSyncEnabled:$True | Get-content C:\ActiveSyncEnabledUsers.txt

you may get warning like this 

if you have more than 1000 mailbox use the following 

get-mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | set-CASMailbox -ActiveSyncEnabled:$True | Get-content C:\ActiveSyncEnabledUsers.txt

On the C drive of my server I have created simple TXT file for the output

 last one

Get-Mailbox | ForEach {Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics -Mailbox:$_.Identity} | ft DeviceFriendlyName, Devicetype, DeviceUserAgent

exchange 2010 How to change preferred domain controller or specific domain controller in exchange 2010

First take a look at the current session settings. In this example Roaya-dc01.roayastore.com has been automatically selected.

[PS] C:\>Get-ADServerSettings | fl

RunspaceId                                 : 15e4d968-032b-4cd8-bc66-bf0b665c4161
DefaultGlobalCatalog                       : Roaya-dc01.roayastore.com
PreferredDomainControllerForDomain         : {}
DefaultConfigurationDomainController       : Roaya-dc01.roayastore.com
DefaultPreferredDomainControllers          : {Roaya-dc01.roayastore.com}
UserPreferredGlobalCatalog                 :
UserPreferredConfigurationDomainController :
UserPreferredDomainControllers             : {}
RecipientViewRoot                          : roayastore.com
ViewEntireForest                           : False
Identity                                   :
IsValid                                    : True

Using Set-ADServerSettings we can specify the preferred server for the current session with the -PreferredServer switch.

[PS] C:\>Set-ADServerSettings -PreferredServer Roaya-dc02.roayastore.com

Now Get-ADServerSettings shows this change has occurred.

[PS] C:\>Get-ADServerSettings | fl

RunspaceId                                 : b15cbfd9-5144-442e-bc74-c00a3216b864
DefaultGlobalCatalog                       : dc2.exchangeserverpro.local
PreferredDomainControllerForDomain         : {}
DefaultConfigurationDomainController       : Roaya-dc02.roayastore.com
DefaultPreferredDomainControllers          : {DC1.exchangeserverpro.local}
UserPreferredGlobalCatalog                 : Roaya-dc02.roayastore.com

UserPreferredConfigurationDomainController : Roaya-dc02.roayastore.com
UserPreferredDomainControllers             : {Roaya-dc02.roayastore.com}
RecipientViewRoot                          : roayastore.com

ViewEntireForest                           : False
Identity                                   :
IsValid                                    : True
