How to increase the maximum number of ActiveSync Devices for a User
Hi,
I have SBS2011/Exchange 2010. I saw this in an article that following Exchange Management Shell command will increase the default # of devices for an mailbox user from default value of 10 to 20.
New-Throttlingpolicy "Increased ActiveSync Devices" -EasMaxDevices 20 -EasMaxConcurrency 20 Set-Mailbox USER_MAILBOX -ThrottlingPolicy "Increased ActiveSync Devices"
With that I have questions:
(1) Is that the right syntax/command?
(2) How can I verify the current settings for everyone or for the organization for that matter?
(3) Can I see this number in Exchange Management Console?
Thanks.

I searched and found this command:
New-Throttlingpolicy "Increased ActiveSync Devices" -EasMaxDevices 20 -EasMaxConcurrency 20
When I ran in my Exchange Shell window, it took it.
I ran Get-ThrottlingPolicy | fl EAS* and it showed the following:

I tried to apply the policy by running:
Set-Mailbox $MAILBOX -ThrottlingPolicy "Increased ActiveSync Devices"
But this generated an error:

(1) What is the difference between:
Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailbox | set-mailbox -ThrottlingPolicy "Increased ActiveSync Devices
and
Set-Mailbox $MAILBOX -ThrottlingPolicy "Increased ActiveSync Devices
(2) When I run Get-ThrottlingPolicy | fl EAS*, it show two sets of numbers - 10s and 20s as in DD: 42377319.
Should I take further action?

You create new throtthling policy so when you get you have 2 of throttling
And if you check mailbox get-mailbox |fl ThrottlingPolicy
you'll see which one is affected to your mailbox.
The difference between $MAILBOX and get-mailbox? it's just you not put anything in $MAILBOX;
Normally with your command you should affect some mailbox to your variable like:
$MAILBOX = get-mailbox (which one you want in policy)
And if you check mailbox get-mailbox |fl ThrottlingPolicy
you'll see which one is affected to your mailbox.

@Jean-Re
I am confused. When I run Get-ThrottlingPolicy | fl EAS* now, I get the following.
Has maximum # of mobile devices per mailbox account been increased to 20?
Am I all done here?

Do: Get-ThrottlingPolicy | fl Name, EASMaxDevices
And
Get-Mailbox | fl ThrottlingPolicy
If you throttling policy with 20 device is correctly applied on mailbox it's OK, if not you need to set-mailbox to change the trhtteling

OK. It is good to know.
Why Get-Mailbox | fl ThrottlingPolicy command kept repeating "ThrottlingPolicy : Increased ActiveSync Devices" as a result?

Because you get all your mailbox, do just a get-mailbox to understand what you are doing .

I see. Thank you for your help.

I am not sure if what we did is related to this or not, but I am seeing a bunch of Event ID : 36887 every second.
When I did some research, one article seem to indicate that this could happen when there is a policy change.
What do you think?
