Use the Set-ActiveSyncDeviceAutoblockThreshold cmdlet to change settings for autoblocking mobile devices.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Syntax.

Syntax

Set-ActiveSyncDeviceAutoblockThreshold -Identity <ActiveSyncDeviceAutoblockThresholdIdParameter> [-AdminEmailInsert <String>] [-BehaviorTypeIncidenceDuration <EnhancedTimeSpan>] [-BehaviorTypeIncidenceLimit <Int32>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DeviceBlockDuration <EnhancedTimeSpan>] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example sets the autoblock threshold rule UserAgentChanges with several settings. It limits the number of accepted UserAgent changes to 2, specifies that the incidence duration is 1440 minutes, and blocks the mobile device for 1440 minutes. Lastly, it inserts a message into the administrative email message sent to the user.

Copy Code
Set-ActiveSyncDeviceAutoblockThreshold -Identity "UserAgentChanges" BehaviorTypeIncidenceLimit 2 -BehaviorTypeIncidenceDuration 1440 -DeviceBlockDuration 1440 -AdminEmailInsert "<B>Your device has been blocked.</B> "]

EXAMPLE 2

This example sets the autoblock threshold rule RecentCommands with several settings. It limits the number of accepted RecentCommands changes to 5, specifies that the incidence duration is 720 minutes, and blocks the mobile device for 720 minutes. Lastly, it inserts a message into the administrative email message sent to the user.

Copy Code
Set-ActiveSyncDeviceAutoblockThreshold -Identity "RecentCommands" BehaviorTypeIncidenceLimit 5 -BehaviorTypeIncidenceDuration 720 -DeviceBlockDuration 720 -AdminEmailInsert "<B>Your device has been blocked.</B> "]

Detailed Description

Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync can block Exchange ActiveSync mobile devices if these devices display any of a defined list of behaviors that can potentially cause issues with the server. The Set-ActiveSyncDeviceAutoblockThreshold cmdlet can modify an existing autoblock threshold rule and change a variety of settings including the duration of blocking.

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 Autoblock settings" entry in the <Clients and Mobile Devices Permissions> topic.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ActiveSyncDeviceAutoblockThresholdIdParameter

The Identity parameter specifies the name of the autoblock threshold rule.

AdminEmailInsert

Optional

System.String

The AdminEmailInsert parameter specifies the text to include in the email sent to the user when a mobile device triggers an autoblock threshold rule.

BehaviorTypeIncidenceDuration

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.EnhancedTimeSpan

The BehaviorTypeIncidenceDuration parameter specifies the interval (in minutes) within which the BehaviorType must occur to trigger the autoblock rule.

BehaviorTypeIncidenceLimit

Optional

System.Int32

The BehaviorTypeIncidenceLimit parameter specifies the number of occurrences of the behavior type needed to trigger blocking.

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.

DeviceBlockDuration

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.EnhancedTimeSpan

The DeviceBlockDuration parameter specifies the length of time (in minutes) that the mobile device is blocked.

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.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.
