Re: whitelist overwritten
Hi Jean, The parameter BypassedSenderDomains is a type of MultiValuedProperty . Hence its like a array. When ever you user Set-ContentFilterConfig -BypassedSenderDomains domain1.com,domain2.com The sender domains considers that now you are assigning the array with two domains it will just keep replacing the value of the parameter BypassedSenderDomains. This is the reason we use the format “@{Add=xxx}” which specifies that keep the current list and the following entry to it. Please let me know if you have any queries.

Re: Activesync/cert issue
The error you are getting is confusing but normal as Exrca will always try to hit autodiscover on your default domain name (ex if you administer acme.com) the test will run against acme.com (will fail) and then try autodiscover.acme.com You should see later in your test an attempt on autodiscover.thanksal.comhttp://www.thanksal.com As for the cert have you re-enrolled and copied the certificate to the device?
