Preventing Access to OMA and Active Sync Using Security Groups in AD

本文是一些摘要，在设置Push mail的时候用到

 

“You see, the enable or disable values for these components are part of a users Active Directory properties contained in a value entitled msExchOmaAdminWirelessEnable which has a data type of integer, and can be viewed and modified by using ADSI edit, which also means that you can generate scripts to manipulate the values.”

 

In essence you can use a combination of Integer values from 0 to 7 to enabled or disable the following Mobile features for an individual users account:

• Outlook Mobile Access (OMA)
• User Initiated Synchronisation
• Up-To-Date Notifications

 

The following table is a run down on the combinations that can be used to gain the desired results

 

Integer Value	OMA	User Initiated Synchronisation	Up-to-date Notification
0	Enabled	Enabled	Enabled
1	Enabled	Enabled	Disabled
2	Disabled	Enabled	Enabled
3	Disabled	Enabled	Disabled
4	Enabled	Disabled	Enabled
5	Enabled	Disabled	Disabled
6	Disabled	Disabled	Enabled
7	Disabled	Disabled	Disabled

 

So, from know this, I thought “What if you have a security group that contains all the people that you wish to disable these values for, and then have a script which reads the group periodically and changes the values in ad”.

 

The following is what I came up with:

 

strADPath = “cn=Deny_AS,cn=Users, “

Set objRootDSE = GetObject(“LDAP://RootDSE“)
strDomainContext = objRootDSE.Get(“DefaultNamingContext”)

Set objGroup = GetObject (“LDAP://”& strADPath & strDomainContext)
objGroup.getInfo

Members = objGroup.GetEx(“member”)

For Each strMember in Members
  
set ObjUser = getObject(“LDAP://” & stMember)     

obJUser.msExchOmaAdminWirelessEnable = “7″
ObjUser.setinfo
 
Next

 

 

 

The above script reads the group membership of DENY_AS which is located in the Users container in Active Directory (you would need to create this group if you wish to use the script) and then changes the mobile settings on the account to match the Integer value which is set on the line obJUser.msExchOmaAdminWirelessEnable = “7″ (In my example it will disable all Mobile settings).

 

This script can be scheduled to run on either you Exchange server, member server or Domain Controller perhaps at an interval of 10 or 20 minutes.
