This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Management Shell to modify the properties of an Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy. After you have created an Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy, you can modify several settings. These include password requirements, number of failed password attempts allowed, attachment settings, and device requirements.

Before You Begin

To perform this procedure, the account you use must be delegated the Exchange Organization Administrator role.

For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.

Also before you perform these procedures, confirm that an Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy has been created.
