  • Enabling ActiveSync for a Security Group using Powershell

    $users = Get-ADGroupMember "AD Group with Users to be Enabled for ActiveSync"
foreach ($line in $users) {
    $user = $line.samaccountname
    Set-CASMailbox $user -ActiveSyncEnabled:$true
    Get-CASMailbox $user | Select-Object Name, ActiveSyncEnabled
}

     

  • 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
}
