Enabling ActiveSync for a domain via API

Question asked by Francis Tan - 10/30/2016 at 7:56 PM

is there a way to enable ActiveSync for a domain via the API? and to set ActiveSync users restrictions

there doesn't seem to be a way to do it via Services/svcDomainAdmin.asmx or Services/svcUserAdmin.asmx .

While i can toggle activesync for a user specifically using Services/svcUserAdmin.asmx?op=ToggleActiveSync

i need to be able to set restrictions for the domain, e.g. Number of ActiveSync users permitted

anyone knows if this is possible?

Francis,

At this time it is not possible to restrict a domain to a maximum number of EAS users. If EAS management is enabled on the domain level, any domain administrator may add a user to the list of ActiveDirectory mailboxes.

The only way to accomplish enabling EAS for a given user via the API is to call the Services/svcUserAdmin.asmx?op=ToggleActiveSync method.

Here's a plug for automatically enabling ActiveSync when the user's device requests it.

This is a common feature in other email systems and makes life easy for an email admin. Limiting the # of EAS accounts per domain would be nice also.
