Block Public Folders Access on OWA
We are implementing a policy for specific users. I basically want to block all Public Folder Access by user or group. How can I do this in Exchange 2010? Thanks,

Just in OWA or altogether? I can't find any way to block access just in OWA. To block all access to public folders, you can set folder rights on the root folders.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

You would create an Outlook Web App Mailbox Policy, and then assign this policy to the restricted users: --------------------------- Step 1: New-OwaMailboxPolicy -Name 'No PF Access' Step 2: Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -Identity "No PF Access" -PublicFoldersEnabled $false Mike Crowley Check out My Blog!

Blocking it all together is fine. They just happen to only have access via OWA. And where do I apply this under Mailbox Settings for User - Outlook Web App? Or do I apply this policy somewhere else? I created the policy just now. I assume it takes some time to replicate back to AD - anyway to force this update? Thanks SJMP

Set-CASMailbox -OwaMailboxPolicy. This is also in the GUI under the user's mailbox properties. Mike Crowley Check out My Blog!

Wait you are making me nervous. Ed said he cant find a way to block OWA only. but it looks like the policy you offered is to block PF access for OWA only, correct? If I want to block 1 single mailbox user from PF access all together - (short of manually changing the permission on each PF) can I do this? The Set-CAsMailbox - is this for one user? And where in the GUI - MAilbox Features - Outlook Web App - This again looks like OWA only right? Thanks for both of your help.
