After you create a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy, you can add users to that policy. By default, users aren't assigned to an Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy. You can add a user to only one Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy at a time. If you add a user to an Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy, and that user is a member of another Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy, that user is removed from the original Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy and added to the new Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy. You can add users individually or add a filtered group of users to an Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy.

Prerequisites

The Client Access server role has been installed on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 computer.

Use the EMC to add users to an Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy settings" entry in the Client Access Permissions topic.

  1. In the console tree, navigate to Recipient Configuration > Mailbox.

  2. In the work pane, right-click the user who you want to assign to a policy, and then click Properties.

  3. In the user's Properties dialog box, click Mailbox Features.

  4. Click Exchange ActiveSync, and then click Properties.

  5. Select the Apply an Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy check box.

  6. Click Browse to view the Select Exchange ActiveSync Mailbox Policy dialog box.

  7. Select an available policy, and then click OK three times to apply your changes.

    • Note   You can add multiple users to a policy at the same time. However, that task must be accomplished by using the Exchange Management Shell.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy settings" entry in the Client Access Permissions topic.
