How to Enable/Disable Exchange ActiveSync?
![](https://thebusinessanalytics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/How-to-Enable-or-Disable-Exchange-ActiveSync.jpg)
Exchange ActiveSync is a client protocol developed by Microsoft. It is used to connect and sync mobile devices with mailboxes on Exchange Server. ActiveSync allows Outlook users to access their mailbox items, such as emails, contacts, attachments, calendar, tasks, etc. from their smartphones securely. The Exchange synchronization protocol works with both high latency and low bandwidth networks, which allows users to access their emails even when the network strength in their mobile device is weak.
ActiveSync is enabled by default in Exchange for new users. However, you can enable or disable ActiveSync for users to allow or prevent them from accessing or synchronizing their Exchange mailbox on mobile devices.
Exchange administrators can enable or disable ActiveSync access by using Exchange Admin Center (EAC) or Exchange Management Shell (EMS). In this guide, we will discuss steps to enable or disable ActiveSync in Exchange using both EAC and EMS.
Steps to Enable or Disable Exchange ActiveSync
Follow these steps to enable or disable the ActiveSync protocol in Exchange Server 2010 SP1 and later versions via Exchange Management Shell (EMS). You can also use the Exchange Admin Center or EAC in Exchange 2013 or later versions to control ActiveSync and other aspects, such as,
- Enable or disable ActiveSync for specific users
- Remote wipe data from lost or stolen mobile devices to prevent unauthorized access to company’s sensitive information
- Export user mail items into multiple formats
- Set or change security policies, such as password length, complexity, attempts, etc.
Assign the Roles and Permissions
You can check the permission and roles required to enable or disable Exchange ActiveSync by executing the following commands in the Exchange Management Shell.
$Perms = Get-ManagementRole -Cmdlet Set-CASMailbox
$Perms | for each {Get-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role $_.Name -Delegating $false | Format-Table -Auto Role, Role Assignee Type, Role Assignee Name}
You can verify if the “Organization Client Access” role is already assigned to your user account by running the following command in EMS,
Get-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role “<RoleName>”
For instance,
Get-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role “Organization Client Access”
If not, you can assign these roles and permission by using the Exchange Admin Center or Exchange Management Shell (EMS).
In EMS, execute the following command to assign the role required to enable or disable Exchange ActiveSync.
New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role “<RoleName>” -User “<UserName>”
Replace <RoleName> with the required role name and <UserName> with the username of your account you are using to enable or disable Exchange ActiveSync. For instance,
New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role “Organization Client Access” -User “Administrator”
After the role is assigned, you can go ahead and follow the steps
Enable or Disable ActiveSync via Exchange Admin center
The steps are as follow,
- Open EAC and navigate to recipients> mailboxes.
- Select user mailboxes for which you want to disable the ActiveSync.
- On the right-pane, click ‘Disable Exchange ActiveSync.’
- Click ‘Yes’ to confirm.
- The Exchange ActiveSync service will be disabled for the particular user mailbox.
To enable the Exchange ActiveSync for user mailbox, follow these steps,
- Select the mailbox in recipient> mailboxes.
- Click ‘Enable Exchange ActiveSync’
Click ‘Yes’ to confirm
- This will enable the Exchange ActiveSync service for the specific user.
Enable or Disable ActiveSync via Exchange Management Shell (EMS)
The steps are as follow,
- Open Exchange Management Shell (EMS) as administrator and run following command,
Set-CASMailbox -Identity <SMTP Address of user> -ActiveSyncEnabled $true
For instance,
Set-CASMailbox -Identity administrator@test.local -ActiveSyncEnabled $true
- This will enable the ActiveSync services for the particular Exchange mailbox.
- You can then execute following command to check if ActiveSync is enabled for the user
Get-CASMailbox –identity <SMTPAddressOfUser>
For instance,
Get-CASMailbox –identity administrator@test.local
Disable Exchange ActiveSync via EMS
The steps are as follow,
- Open EMS as administrator and run following command to disable ActiveSync for particular user,
Set-CASMailbox -Identity administrator@test.local -ActiveSyncEnabled $false
- Check the ActiveSync status for particular user by running following command,
Get-CASMailbox –identity administrator@test.local
To Wrap Up
When Exchange ActiveSync is enabled, employees or users can access their mailboxes from both PC and mobile devices. In Exchange Server 2010 and later, the ActiveSync is enabled by default for new users. However, as an Exchange administrator, you may require to enable or disable Exchange ActiveSync for users facing issues with their mailboxes. Sometimes, users may encounter issues with Exchange ActiveSync enabled profiles when their mailbox gets larger or reaches a certain size limit. In such cases, you can use an EDB to PST converter tool, such as Stellar Converter for EDB, to export the mailboxes or mail items to a new database or mailbox.

Google’s Fuchsia OS Set to Integrate with Android for Enhanced Efficiency
![Google's Fuchsia OS Set to Integrate with Android](https://thebusinessanalytics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Googles-Fuchsia-OS-Set-to-Integrate-with-Android.webp)
Google Could Soon Introduce a Simplified Version of Fuchsia OS to Android. Google, known for its flagship operating systems Android and ChromeOS, has been quietly developing another operating system called Fuchsia OS since 2016. Initially launched on the first-generation Nest Hub in 2021, Fuchsia OS is now set to play a more significant role in Google’s ecosystem.
According to a report by Android Authority, Google developers are working on a simplified version of Fuchsia OS that can run on a virtual machine within Android devices. While the specifics of Fuchsia OS functionality in Android remain unclear, it is speculated that this integration could enhance efficiency and flexibility.
Fuchsia OS, an open-source operating system, is distinct from Android as it is not built on the Linux kernel but on Zircon, a microkernel. Google claims that the microkernel architecture can “reduce the amount of trusted code running in the system,” potentially offering a new level of security and stability.
Although it is unlikely that Fuchsia OS will replace Android or ChromeOS, it could serve as an alternative to Microdroid, a lighter version of Android designed for on-device virtual machines. By potentially replacing Microdroid, Fuchsia OS could improve workload performance and security.
In April, Google launched a project called Microfuchsia, aiming to make Fuchsia OS bootable on devices through virtualization. Recent patches submitted to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) reference the Microfuchsia project, indicating ongoing development and integration efforts.
Google has already demonstrated the capabilities of running virtual machines on Android. The company showcased ChromeOS on a Pixel device, calling it Ferrochrome, to highlight Android 15’s virtualization capabilities.
Although Google later clarified that Ferrochrome was merely a proof of concept, the development of an app called “Ferrochrome launcher” suggests continued experimentation with virtualization on Android, potentially involving Fuchsia OS.
The future deployment of Fuchsia OS and its role in the development of Android and ChromeOS remains to be seen. However, it is evident that Fuchsia OS is poised to impact Google’s future operating system releases significantly.

Steam Introduces New Game Recording Features in Beta Testing
![Steam Introduces New Game Recording Features in Beta Testing](https://thebusinessanalytics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Steam-Introduces-New-Game-Recording-Features-in-Beta-Testing.webp)
Valve is enhancing the gaming experience on Steam with the introduction of a new background gameplay recording and sharing feature, now available in beta. This update aims to provide gamers with console-like video recording capabilities directly within the Steam platform.
The new features include two recording modes, Background Recording and On-Demand Recording.
Background Recording automatically saves gameplay footage to a designated drive, allowing users to set specific duration and storage limits. On-demand recording gives players the flexibility to start and stop recording at their discretion.
To improve usability, Valve has introduced a timeline feature and the ability to add event markers, which helps players pinpoint significant moments in their gameplay. The system supports automatic marker generation for achievements, screenshots, and specific in-game events in supported titles.
Additionally, Valve has revamped the Recordings & Screenshots interface, providing “lightweight” tools for clipping and editing videos. A simplified sharing option allows players to post videos directly into chat sessions or to broader audiences with a single click. Videos can be shared across devices—from Steam Deck to PC, for instance—or sent as temporary MP4 links via the Steam Mobile App or a QR code.
A standout feature is the new Replay mode, accessible from the Steam Overlay, which lets players review their recent gameplay to analyze mistakes or revisit important game moments.
For developers, Valve offers a new SDK and API to integrate and enhance the recording features within their games.
Steam users interested in testing the beta can enable it by navigating to Settings > Interface > Beta Participation in their Steam client and selecting the Beta option. Game recording settings are adjustable via Settings > Game Recording.
Valve anticipates a public release following the beta phase, once all potential issues are resolved. This feature set represents a significant leap forward in making advanced gameplay recording accessible to the vast community of Steam gamers.
