Clients and mobile management

client management = policies

exchange includes a variety of different methods to control features for example through virtual directories or through polices (outlook web app policies and Mobile Device Mailbox policies)


virtual directories

client protocls used for access to 2013 can be controlled through virtual directories

a virtual directory is used by IIS to control access through ActiveSync connections, OWA, Autodisciover and so on.

You can manage authentication, security and reporting settigs

you can mamage virtual directoired through the EAC, EMC, IIS Manager (depending on task)


Virtual directory settings vs Policy Settings

virtual directory settings are made through the servers feature

policies might be under the permissions feature for OWA or Mobile feature for Mobile Device Mailbox policies


  • polices override virtual directory settings
  • no authentication confilcts
  • there are default OWA and ActiveSync (aka Mobile Device) policies created when you install Exchange
  • Only one policy (one for OWA and one for ActiveSync) can be applied to a mailbox at a time and if no policy is applied the virtual directory settings apply
