Microsoft Exchange Policy Management

Creating and managing Exchange mailboxes is a perennial and tedious task for Exchange Server administrators. It involves configuring various Exchange settings such as mailbox storage limits, delivery restrictions/options, proxy addresses, Exchange policies, granting or restricting mobile and web-based access, etc. Adding to the complexity is the fact that all these settings can take different values depending on a user's role, designation, department, etc.

MS Exchange Policies

Exchange offers a range of policies which can be applied to Exchange users to

• Help them share their Exchange contacts, calendar details with other users
• Provide them the rights to perform specific tasks to manage their mailboxes and distribution groups
• Specify the time frame for which the contents of the mailbox should be retained
• Stipulate the terms and conditions for accessing and synchronizing the Exchange server data from mobile devices, etc.

Since Exchange policies can bestow a range of permissions and rights on users, they demand special attention. But performing all Exchange-specific tasks, including the ones specific to policies, using just the native tools such as Exchange management console (EMC), Exchange control panel (ECP), Exchange Admin Center (EAC), etc., could take the wind out of your sails.

Managing Exchange Policies - the easy and simple way

ADManager Plus allows you to apply multiple Exchange policies like Sharing Policy, Role Assignment Policy, Retention Policy, UM Policy and ActiveSync Policy to multiple users in your Exchange 2010/2013 environment, in one single action. Also, with the Exchange policy management feature of this software you can:

• Create mailboxes and also apply all the relevant Exchange policies, right while creating new accounts for users in the Active Directory
• Apply the relevant Exchange policies to users for whom Exchange mailboxes have already been created but policies have not been applied
• Change the policies that are already applied to Exchange users and assign a different set of policies to them

The huge advantage: you can perform all these tasks for a single mailbox or a group of mailboxes, at one go. You also have the option of importing a CSV-file to specify multiple users for whom the Exchange policies have to be applied.

In sharp contrast to native MS Exchange tools, ADManager Plus's Exchange management capabilities give you the freedom and luxury to

• Execute all Exchange management tasks in bulk; it even offers CSV-based management for managing multiple user mailboxes at one go
• Delegate Exchange related tasks to helpdesk technicians and shed the excess load off your back
• Manage multiple versions of Exchange Server (2003/2007/2010/2013), and also your Active Directory from a single unified web-based console
• Perform all Exchange-specific tasks with script-free, mouse-clicks based actions
