Delete exchange rules for forwarding
Hi,
I'm running Exchange 2010. Some of my users have created rules to forward their email. It's against company policy to forward email. I need to do 2 things.
1. Delete the rule (how do I do that in Powershell)?
2. Stop the entire user base from creating any rules that forward email. Is it possible to just not allow this but allow other rules?
Thanks

I looked at the property box. It was already unchecked.
I don't understand what the templates you also mentioned have to do with anything.

Viral,
I used this to check to see if anything was being forwarded for one of my users
Get-InboxRule -Mailbox <mailboxname>
This brought back something like this:
MailboxOwnerId : XXXXX/Users/XXXXXXX
Description : Take the following actions:
redirect the message to 'XXXXX@yahoo.com'
and stop processing more rules on this message
When I run the command you mentioned on the same name, I get nothing back.
So, I'm confused.
I need to find users who are creating rules in Outlook or OWA that allow them to forward mail. Then I need to delete those rules and stop them from creating any further rules.
Can you please help?
Thanks.

@nachtmsk, Please ignore my initial statement. I believe I was under the influence or suffered some temporal displacement. Either way the information is erroneous.
