Disabling ActiveSync for a Group of Users using Powershell
I have tested this only in a Hybrid environment.
- Create a Universal AD Security Group called O365_Disabled_ActiveSync_Users.
- Add all the members to it.
- Make sure it has an email address that registers in Office365.
Connect to Office365 via Powershell ISE:
Import-Module MSOnline $O365Cred = Get-Credential $O365Session = New-PSSession –ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $O365Cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection Import-PSSession $O365Session Connect-MsolService –Credential $O365Cred
Copy the following code in a file called DisableActiveSync.ps1 and run in powershell. Add the users in the group will have ActiveSync now disabled.
#Disable ActiveSync for a group of Users
# Assign all members of the DG to the dynamic array
$allMembers = Get-DistributionGroupMember -Identity 'O365_Disabled_ActiveSync_Users'
# Loop through the array
foreach ($member in $allMembers) {
# Disable ActiveSync for each member of the array
$member | Set-CASMailbox –ActiveSyncEnabled $false
# Remove the # sign in front of the Get-CASMailbox statement for status information
Get-CASMailbox $member.Name | Select-Object Name, ActiveSyncEnabled
}
