Hi,

for MRM-enabled mailboxes, I want to enforce Outlook 2007 usage by
set-casmailbox. some questions around this:

a) how to retrieve the current client MAPI version that is actively
connected to a mailbox without having to gather anything at the client
side? With ESM-MSX2K3 there has been a column "client version". What's
the respective feature in EMC and EMS?

b) when will set-casmailbox -MAPIBlockOutlookVersions become effective?
In my lab it felt like lasting forever until it started blocking my
client and when disabling the feature to $null it also took endless
before I got access to the server mailbox (again). In fact I was
required to move the mailbox around multiple servers to speed up the
process...

thnx

Nothing in EMC - not desirable in many distributed/large environments
(though the rationale doesn't apply to small/single-server environment,
administrators in which would absolutely love to have it back... ).

In Exchange shell, get-mailboxstatistics provides some of the last logon
details, but not the client version, IP address, etc. (similar to what the
Exchange_Logon WMI class provided for Exchange 2003, and ESM displayed in
Logons under the mailbox Store.).

so there is NO option to find out the MAPI client version for connected
clients? in get-mailboxstatistics I saw a MAPI version but this may also
reflect a CAS server connect, too - isn't it?

Sorry, I missed it earlier... there's a Get-LogonStatistics command that
will give all that info:
ClientIP, ClientMode, ClientName, ClientVersion, LastAccessTime, Latency,
and more...

that's what I was searching for. thanks much!

how about the other part of my question: how long will it take for
applying/removing BlockVersions-setting? Didn't find out what's the
mechanism in there...
