Designing and Deploying Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 — Question 93

You have an Exchange Server 2016 organization.
You allow mobile devices to connect to the organization from the Internet.
You discover that a specific version of the operating system on mobile devices causes performance issues on an Exchange server when the devices connect to the organization by using Exchange ActiveSync.
You need to prevent the mobile devices from connecting to the Exchange Server organization. The solution must allow all other mobile devices to connect.
Which command should you use?

Answer options

• A. New-ActiveSyncDeviceAccessRule
• B. New-ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy
• C. Remove-ActiveSyncDevice
• D. Set-ActiveSyncOrganizationSettings

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the New-ActiveSyncDeviceAccessRule command allows for the creation of rules that can block specific mobile device types from connecting to the Exchange Server. The other options do not provide the same targeted blocking capability; for example, B creates a mailbox policy, C removes devices but does not prevent future connections, and D modifies organization-wide settings rather than targeting specific device access.
