Hello All,

 Our project is making progress. Thank to all contributors for sharing their insights.

 For some reason we would like to disable not only mailbox but also other windows services (skydrive, docs,etc) Is is possible to disable a windows live id for some time, so that user can be prevented from login to other live services. Is there any  other way to prevent/disable a user from accessing all other services ?

 

Thank you.

RJ

Hi R J,

You can disable mailbox for an account by using the below powershell command:

Set-CASMailbox test@domain.com -OWAEnabled $false -PopEnabled $false -ImapEnabled $false -MAPIEnabled $false -ActiveSyncEnabled $false

Even after disabling the mailbox the user will be still able to access Skydrive and Workspace as they are Live ID related features.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Indraja Boga, Escalation Engineer.

hey Indraja,

 Thanks for your quick reply. I know the way of disabling and enabling the mailbox. What we would like to do is being able to disable not only user's mailbox but other live services also.  Is this is possible by anyway ?  please provide your inputs.

Thank you.

R J

Other Live services are Live ID related services and you cannot disable Live Services for an account which has mailbox disabled.

Thanks,
