With this policies you can deactivate items for users. When selecting the CAS server under the Organization Configuration you will see two tabs instead of one tab, just as in Exchange 2007.
Default there is only one policy called default, in this policy all features are enabled. If you would like to change this you can create a new policy or change the default policy. When creating a new policy you will see the following screen:
The only thing you will need to define is a name for the policy and which features you would like to deactivate, default all options are enabled.
When finished configuring the policy just push the new policy and the policy is created.
