So shouldn't you be able to just turn off Exchange ActiveSync for all users and 
be done with it?

Ah, ok.  Our intent is to block all direct access from Android devices.  We 
don't do Exchange ActiveSync.  Our only allowed access is through "Good for 
Enterprise" for androids/iOS and BES for Blackberries.

I use powershell scripts that run periodically through the day to capture any 
changes.  The powershell scripts check A/D group membership and turn off/turn 
on various Exchange attributes depending on the group.  The ones that I 
use/control are:

IMAP enabled/disabled
POP enabled/disabled
Outlook Anywhere enabled/disabled
Exchange ActiveSync enabled/disabled
EAS Policy assigned/not assigned

One thing to note - blocking the IP's will block RIM devices, but I believe 
Android has similar features without an ip list to block.


That's why we ended up using the captcha - it block them all.  (So far, at 
least.)

You can block the ports, but I don't have that doc handy.

You can also put a captcha on your OWA page which will stop BIS and Android 
users.

I have Googled this with minimal luck.

We have some users who are accessing their corporate mail via BIS.  Though we 
freely provide BES accounts, I suspect these are users with personal devices 
who don't want to pay for an Enterprise Data Plan.  Pretty ironic that we are 
having this problem with BlackBerries, incidentally, because with the other 
smartphones I can just boot them from EAS.  My understanding is that BIS uses 
OWA for Exchange access.  Of course, we can't turn of OWA or Outlook Anywhere.  
I also read that I can accomplish this by blocking the BIS IP range in our 
firewall.  Other posts say you have to do it on the IIS server for OWA.  None 
of the posts, however seem to want to give up the IP range to be blocked.

Anyone successful at this? How?
