Detailed Description

The New-ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy cmdlet creates an Exchange ActiveSync policy for mailboxes accessed by mobile phones.

Note:
Some Exchange ActiveSync policy settings require the mobile phone to have certain built-in features that enforce these security and device management settings. If your organization allows all devices, you must set the AllowNonProvisionableDevices parameter to `$true`. This allows devices that can't enforce all policy settings to synchronize with your server.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy settings" entry in the Client Access Permissions topic.

Parameters

AllowConsumerEmail	Optional	System.Boolean	The AllowConsumerEmail parameter indicates whether the mobile phone user can configure a personal e-mail account on the device. The default value is `$true`.
AllowDesktopSync	Optional	System.Boolean	The AllowDesktopSync parameter specifies whether the mobile phone can synchronize with a desktop computer through a cable. The default value is `$true`.
AllowExternalDeviceManagement	Optional	System.Boolean	The AllowExternalDeviceManagement parameter specifies whether an external device management program is allowed to manage the device.
AllowHTMLEmail	Optional	System.Boolean	The AllowHTMLEmail parameter specifies whether HTML e-mail is enabled on the device. The default value is `$true`.
AllowInternetSharing	Optional	System.Boolean	The AllowInternetSharing parameter specifies whether the mobile phone can be used as a modem to connect a computer to the Internet. The default value is `$true`.
AllowIrDA	Optional	System.Boolean	The AllowIrDA parameter specifies whether infrared connections are allowed to the mobile phone. The default value is `$true`.
AllowMobileOTAUpdate	Optional	System.Boolean	The AllowMobileOTAUpdate parameter specifies whether certain updates are seen by devices that implemented support for this restricting functionality. Further control can be specified via the MobileOTAUpdateMode parameter.
AllowNonProvisionableDevices	Optional	System.Boolean	When set to `$true`, the AllowNonProvisionableDevices parameter enables all devices to synchronize with the computer running Exchange, regardless of whether the device can enforce all the specific settings established in the Exchange ActiveSync policy. This also includes devices managed by a separate device management system. When set to `$false`, this parameter blocks these devices that aren't provisioned from synchronizing with the server running Exchange. The default value is `$false`.
AllowPOPIMAPEmail	Optional	System.Boolean	The AllowPOPIMAPEmail parameter specifies whether the user can configure a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail account on the device. The default value is `$true`.
AllowRemoteDesktop	Optional	System.Boolean	The AllowRemoteDesktop parameter specifies whether the mobile phone can initiate a remote desktop connection. The default value is `$true`.
AllowSimpleDevicePassword	Optional	System.Boolean	The AllowSimpleDevicePassword parameter specifies whether a simple device password is allowed. A simple device password is a password that has a specific pattern, such as 1111 or 1234. The default value is `$true`.
AllowSMIMEEncryptionAlgorithmNegotiation	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.SMIMEEncryptionAlgorithmNegotiationType	The AllowSMIMEEncryptionAlgorithmNegotiation parameter specifies whether the messaging application on the device can negotiate the encryption algorithm in case a recipient's certificate doesn't support the specified encryption algorithm.

ApprovedApplicationList	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.ApprovedApplicationCollection	The ApprovedApplicationList parameter contains a list of approved applications for the device.
AttachmentsEnabled	Optional	System.Boolean	The AttachmentsEnabled parameter specifies whether the user can download attachments. When set to `$false`, the user is blocked from downloading attachments. The default value is `$true`.
Confirm	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.
DeviceEncryptionEnabled	Optional	System.Boolean	The DeviceEncryptionEnabled parameter, when set to `$true`, enables device encryption on the mobile phone. The default value is `$false`. Currently, only the storage card can be encrypted on devices running Windows Mobile 6.0 or later. We recommend that you don't use this setting and use the RequireStorageCardEncryption parameter instead.
DevicePasswordEnabled	Optional	System.Boolean	When set to `$true`, the DevicePasswordEnabled parameter requires that the user set a password for the device. The default value is `$false`.
DevicePasswordExpiration	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited	The DevicePasswordExpiration parameter specifies the length of time, in days, that a password can be used. After this length of time, a new password must be created. The format of the parameter is dd.hh.mm:ss, for example, 24.00:00 = 24 hours.
DevicePasswordHistory	Optional	System.Int32	The DevicePasswordHistory parameter specifies the number of previously used passwords to store. When a user creates a new password, the user can't reuse a stored password that was previously used.

Possible values are: All OneDay ThreeDays OneWeek TwoWeeks OneMonth ThreeMonths SixMonths
MaxEmailBodyTruncationSize	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited	The MaxEmailBodyTruncationSize parameter specifies the maximum size at which e-mail messages are truncated when synchronized to the device. The value is specified in kilobytes (KB).

MaxInactivityTimeDeviceLock	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited	The MaxInactivityTimeDeviceLock parameter specifies the length of time that the device can be inactive before the password is required to reactivate the device. You can enter any interval between 30 seconds and 1 hour. The default value is 15 minutes. The format of the parameter is hh.mm:ss, for example, 15:00 = 15 minutes.
MinDevicePasswordComplexCharacters	Optional	System.Int32	The MinDevicePasswordComplexCharacters parameter specifies the minimum number of complex characters required in a device password. A complex character isn't a letter.
MinDevicePasswordLength	Optional	System.Int32	The MinDevicePasswordLength parameter specifies the minimum number of characters in the device password. You can enter any number from 1 through 16. The maximum length a password can be is 16 characters. The default value is 4.
MobileOTAUpdateMode	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.MobileOTAUpdateModeType	The MobileOTAUpdateMode parameter specifies which updates can be seen by the devices that implemented support for this restricting functionality. It must be used in conjunction with the AllowMobileOTAUpdate parameter to function properly.
Organization	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OrganizationIdParameter	This parameter is available for multi-tenant deployments. It isn't available for on-premises deployments. For more information about multi-tenant deployments, see Multi-Tenant Support. The Organization parameter specifies the organization in which you'll perform this action.
