Disable Offline Folders in "OWA for Devices" App

Is there a way to disable Offline Folders in OWA for Devices?  
I like this application, but it won't fly with security unless I can disable this Offline Folder feature.  I already have offline folders disabled in OWA, but I guess it does not cross over into this space.

Hi Smith,
I don't understand what's 'Offline Folders'. Based on my knowledge, it is .ost on Outlook client.
If you talk about "Work Offline in OWA", we can disable it via  Using Outlook Web
App offline.
However I can't find Exchange build-in method to disable this feature for "OWA for Devices".
I only find this AllowCopyContactsToDeviceAddressBook parameter in Set-OwaVirtualDirectory and Set-OwaMailboxPolicy cmdlets.
This parameter specificed if users can copy the contents of their Contacts folder to a mobile device’s native address book when using OWA for Devices.
Thanks

    Hi,
    From your description, I would like to verify if you want to disable Offline Access in OWA. If yes, you can use the following cmdlet to check the result. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
    Set-OwaMailboxPolicy –AllowOfflineOn NoComputers -Identity xxx
    For more information, here is a helpful blog for your reference.

  • Get users using OWA for devices

    I would like to disable OWA for devices for all users except those currently using the OWA for iPhone/iPad app.  Is there a PowerShell cmdlet available to grab mailboxes that have OWA for devices accessing them?  I've been looking at get-activesyncdevices
    but this only returns actual devices using activesync.  I haven't seen how to pull the OWA for devices objects with PowerShell.  They are visible in EAC when viewing details under Mobile Devices, but that's not very helpful for the number of users
    would have to look through.

    I found it, I was looking for Get-MobileDevice. 

  • OWA for Devices (iphone,ipad,android)

    Hi
    I'm wondering what are the requirements for Owa for devices. Unfortunately I can't find any specification especially concerning the on-premises Scenario.
    - is the Exchange on-premises Scenario supported or do I need Exchange Online (off365)?
    - do I Need Exchange 2013 Sp1 or can I run the owa for devices also with Exchange 2010?
    Any help would be appreciated
    Best Regards Bueschu
    Bueschu

    Hello Bueschu,
    Nothing for on-premises Exchange (at least yet...), those are just for Office 365 business users...
    Look for the Steve Chew's comment at http://blogs.office.com/2014/06/11/owa-for-android-now-available-on-select-devices/

  • Cp 8.0.1,What difference between "Publish for Devices" and "Publish for Devices (App) ?

    i think "Publish for Devices" and "Publish for Devices (App). it same.
    "Publish for Devices (App)" for easy connect phonegap.
    "Publish for Devices"  for advance user.
    not sure you understand but i only share.

    Publish for Devices (App) is to publish your captivate project as a native application using PhoneGap API.
    Publish for Devices is the normal html publish but for Responsive project. It will publish your project as html content and later you can upload it on some LMS or WebServer to view the content on devices using Browser. It has not nothing to do about advance users.
    In both the cases the content will change according to the size of the viewing device.

    Hi,
    We don’t need to run this script on all the server. Just once is enough. For the problematic users, you can use Set-CASMailbox –id user |FL to check if the restrictions are applied

  • Offline folders exclusion list for specific folders

    Hello
    First at all i apologize for my english.
    we are trying around with the offline folders with windows 7 enterprise (x64) and server 2008R2 standard.
    The synchronisation was set by GPO and it works. 
    Today we got the task that the user should only be able to synchronize files and not whole folders (with subfolders and all files in it).
    Is it possbile to set an option (like the exclusion list for specific file types) to exclude folders from synchronizing?
    Kind Regards
    Luca

    > Is it possbile to set an option (like the exclusion list for specific
    > file types) to exclude folders from synchronizing?
    Short answer: No.
    (ok, you can exclude shares from being avail offline, but that was not
    your question :))

    NO THEY ARE NOT EVIL, if you know what you are doing:
    Good or bad GPOs?

  • Desktop Manager freezes when looking for device app. updates

    I NEED to use the Desktop Manager because I want to remove apps from my 8130 that I believe are bogging my phone down and causing it to act wierd (like Yahoo Messenger!) So I connect my phone, click on DM. Instantly a gray box comes up saying "Searching for device application updates. Please wait." It runs and runs and never does anything. I allowed it to go for 20 minutes one time just to see if I was just being too impatient, but still nothing. I click "Cancel" and DM goes into "Not Responding".
    I have repeated this cycle several times... decided maybe it was the software (v4.7) and went to do an uninstall. It goes to compute system space and comes back with a 1606 error, something to do with "network something or other". So I cannot even UNINSTALL it!
    What gives? I have noticed several others says they have had problems with 4.7 crashing their computer, which hasn't happened to me yet... but has anyone else had what I just described happened to them. And if so, what did you do to fix it?
    Nick

    Possibly...but if the issues wind up being intermingled (as they so often do), then having them separated becomes confusing. The way these forums work is that there are many of us here volunteering in our spare time to help out. And that means needing to have clean hand-offs of information so that anyone can pick up from another (since, for instance, I need to dash out right about now...someone else will need to pick up). If one post here only has a subset of the total story, someone picking it up here will have no way to realize that other things were tried in another thread. The key for each OP is to keep it to one thread unless and until it can be determined that things should be split -- and then we can have the mods do that if we need it. For your issues, while it's so new and in the initial diagnosis stages, keeping it in one place would be cleaner.
    BTW -- all of that is merely IMHO. I have no "power" over what anyone here does. I'm just a volunteer.
    Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

  • Changing Layout for Device Apps Panel

    It is a minor matter but the layout of the Apps panel for my iPad seems to have changed and I see no way to change it back. At one time, the icons for home screens were arrayed to the right of the Window for the home screens. Now they are arrayed below. I'd like to cahnge it back but see no preference that affects this. What have I missed?

    You still apparently haven't read the tutorial on using Layout Managers to understand the capabilites of each Layout Manager.
    For instance, within the constructor of one of my JFrames using
    System.out.println(this.getHeight()); prints 0, when of course this is not the case in reality for the frame's heightComponents don't have a size until the GUI is visible on the screen. That is until you've done a pack(), or a setVisible( true ). You should never be using setSize().
    Layout Managers use setPreferredSize() ,setMinimumSize() and setMaximumSize() as suggestions for determining the layout. Although most layout managers don't use all the suggestions, which is why you need to read the tutorial to find out how the layout managers work.
    I'm now having trouble trying to figure out how to only resize the height
    of a JTabbedPane yet keep the width fixedWell, I don't understand the requirement. The preferred size of a tabbed pane is equal to the preferred size of the largest tab added to the tabbed pane. So I don't understand the concept of artificially changing the vertical height.
    Anyway reread the tutorial on "How to Use the Border Layout". Two of the 5 areas respect the width of the component but alter the height to fill all the available space.
    If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
    And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting.

  • Issue Configuring Push Notifications Proxying for OWA for Devices

    I have been attempting to configure Push Notifications per http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj151815.aspx#bkmk_installmodule
    When running the second PowerShell script I get the error 
    "New-MsolServicePrincipalCredential : Invalid value for parameter. Parameter name: Credential.EndDate.
    At c:\Users\User\Desktop\script2.ps1:25 char:5

    I do currently have another Federation Trust configured for this account with our test environment. Might this be causing this error? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    As far as I know, the issue can be caused by time difference between local timezone and server timezone. Please firstly check with this point.

  • OWA for Iphone and international calling card

    Hello,
    I work as the Supervisor for a company that has just purchased many iphones.  The group that is in charge of email at my company will only allow "OWA for Iphone" to be used because in this way, nothing is downloaded to the device.  All email, calendar entries and contacts/people entries are web based.  Because nothing is downloaded to the device, the Iphone app for any international calling card company like Reliance or True Roots will not work.
    When I say, "will not work" this is why.  All international calling card companies apps that I have found, access the local downloaded contacts on the Iphone itself.  I have not found any that can connect to the people in the  "OWA for Iphone" app to make international calls for cheeper prices.
    Is there an international calling card company whose app will work with "OWA for Iphone" and not the locally stored contacts?  Or one that I can make the choice, choose the contacts from the local Iphone and or people in the "OWA for Iphone" app?

    International calling apps allow you to call an entry from your contact list.  When you make a call from your device using this International calling app it will hang up, dial a 1 800 or 1866 number, then redial the international number you dialed and complete the call.  This allows you to call for example, India for $.06/minute instead of $.50/minute or what ever your provider charges you.  It basically make it so your international calls go through your international calling app provider instead of your phone provider.  You still use your phone provider minutes, but the cost is rerouted to your international calling provider/partner.
    1. I know, its so hard to do anything.  Yes all smartphones (Iphones, Androids, Windows, etc...)  The email admins will not allow anything to directly download to the device from the company.  The OWA for IPhone app uses the web browser but changes the view of the email to look and feel user friendly.  Basically, OWA for Iphone is using the web to look at all email, contacts, and calendar entries.
    2. The international calling app (Reliance and all others I have found including Skype) will only look at local downloaded contacts.  Because we are using OWA for Iphone there are no downloaded contacts. So, the international calling app does not see the contacts to be able to call.
    If I go into OWA for IPhone and go to People and call somebody internationally +44 XX XXX XXXXX it works fine, but the international calling app does not activate becasue the app can't see the number.  This is because its looking only at the local downloaded contacts list, not the contacts on the web using OWA for Iphone

  • When I try to disable cellular data in the settings for my apps it will toggle fine, but once I exit and go back in to the cellular settings its back on again all by itself.

    I have had a problem with my iphone 4s for some time now but I have just been so busy to try and fix it. When I try to disable cellular data in the settings for my apps it will toggle fine, but once I exit and go back in to the cellular settings its back on again all by itself. However, even though it says the data is on, I can’t use the data when I don’t have wifi. I tried restoring my phone a few times and the last time I did that, it wouldn’t turn my service on so I had to talk with a Verizon agent for a long time trying to fix it and finally they simply sent me another phone. I thought hey new phone, this part will be fixed. However, I got my service to work but it’s still the same problem with the cellular data. I have just left it alone and not worried about it, but it’s still not fixed and thought I could ask on here if anyone had any ideas. It has something to do with the apps actually installed on the iphone. Apps like the mail, safari, settings, itunes apps, etc. All my other apps turn on and off just fine. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Read the User's Guide... it covers how to backup and sync the device as designed.

  • Is it possible for iphone 4s-io7- to show up offline in icloud list of devices even if thief erased iphone(found pssrd) or turned off fmi?

    Very curious since its still showing offline in icloud list of devices. Would remote wipe work when the iphone is connected to intunes for restore or dfu? Answers appreciated.

    No, it means you have no information about your phone.
    If you enabled Find my iPhone that also enabled Activation Lock. Even if the thief guessed your passcode they still could not disable Find my iPhone without knowing your Apple ID and password. The thief also only gets a limited number of tries to guess your passcode. If you had enabled "erase after 10 failed attempts" then the limit is 10. If you had not then after 10 or so the thief would have to wait before trying more, an the wait would get progressively longer with each failed attempt. So unless you have a really poor choice of passcodes (1111, 1234, etc) your content is reasonably safe.

  • My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have our iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices no problem. Any thoughts on this?

    My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have my iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices the offline problem stops. Any thoughts on this?

    .....doesn't that seems to suggest the modem?
    That is what I have suggested....twice now. From posts above:
    My opinion would be that it is likely not the ISP, unless you have complete loss of Internet service for all devices at the same time......it is the Comtrend device....
    and
    I believe that the problem lies with the modem, and not the ISP signal.
    Your ISP will likely have a different opinion, though. Please keep us posted on your progress.

  • I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

    I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.
    I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet.  My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses.  I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work.  However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account.  Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses.  Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

    We do this in my family now.  We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores).  Each iDevice has this configured.
    Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud.  That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup.  That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice.  You can just restore from it.
    So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
    In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
    Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response.  What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures.  Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures.  1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.
