Trouble in O365 powershell while applying EWS restriction Organisation wide?

Hi All,

We have policy to allow only microsfot applications in EWS allow list Organisation wide (Set-OrganisationConfig)

But when we try to do this using powershell

Set-OrganizationConfig -EwsAllowEntourage:$True -EwsAllowOutlook:$True -EwsAllowMacOutlook:$True -EwsEnabled:$True -EwsApplicationAccessPolicy:EnforceAllowList -EwsAllowList:"owa/*,ecp/*,Lync/*,Skype/*"

We are landed in following error, how to solve this?

=============================================================================

License validation error: the action 'Set-OrganizationConfig', 'EwsAllowEntourage,EwsAllowList,EwsAllowMacOutlook,EwsAllowOutlook,EwsApplicationAccessPolicy,EwsEnabled', can't be performed on the user 'Configuration' with
license 'BPOS_S_Deskless'.

I followed this thread as well but how do I only skip "BPOS_S_Deskless" license users and apply the restriction to entire organisation

It is very critical to business and security of email in office 365!

My requirement is simple, we have to allow on

Hi Manjurainbow123,

We cannot skip “BPOS_S_Deskless” license users and apply the cmd  to the whole organization. “BPOS_S_Deskless” is included in Kiosk plans which don't support EWS applications. Here is an article for your reference:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchange-online-service-description.aspx

Set-OrganizationConfig takes effect for the whole tenant and the users in Kiosk plans are included in the tenant, so it is not feasible to skip "BPOS_S_Deskless" license users and apply the restriction to the entire organization.

Thanks for your understanding,
Barry
