Use the New-ActiveSyncDeviceAccessRule cmdlet to define an access group of Exchange mobile devices along with their access level.

Syntax

New-ActiveSyncDeviceAccessRule -AccessLevel <Allow | Block | Quarantine> -Characteristic <DeviceType | DeviceModel | DeviceOS | UserAgent> -QueryString <String> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Organization <OrganizationIdParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Detailed Description

You can create multiple groups of devices: allowed devices, blocked devices, and quarantined devices.

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 settings" entry in the Client Access Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

AccessLevel

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.DeviceAccessLevel

The AccessLevel parameter specifies the state of all devices.

Characteristic

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.DeviceAccessCharacteristic

The Characterisic parameter specifies the device characteristic that the query string is to be compared to.

QueryString

Required

System.String

The QueryString parameter specifies which devices this rule applies to.

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.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.
