Disable POP3 for ALL users

To disable POP3 for all users with mailboxes on exchange 2007 (only this was executed this time; probably it works in a mixed environment too) you need to execute following command:

Get-CASMailbox | Set-CASMailbox -PopEnabled $False

POP3I

In the same way the script can be executed to enable/disable:

  • OWA
    Get-CASMailbox | Set-CASMailbox -OWAEnabled $False
  • ActiveSync
    Get-CASMailbox | Set-CASMailbox -ActiveSyncEnabled $False
  • IMAP
    Get-CASMailbox | Set-CASMailbox -IMAPEnabled $False
  • MAPI
    Get-CASMailbox | Set-CASMailbox -MAPIEnabled $False

Nice concise article, great reference. To check your work, run "Get-CASMailbox | more". You'll see which accounts have which services enabled.

Also, I'd love to know how to set defaults on this as well, perhaps more googling is in my future.
