After modifying the "Exchange ActiveSync access settings", new ActiveSync devices are receiving a "DeviceAccessStateReason" that differs from the previous state, such as "Individual" or "Policy". What steps are necessary to revert this behavior back to "Global"? Additionally, under what conditions does a "Policy" trigger an immediate "Blocked" status without sending "Quarantined Devices" for approval?

    Apparently, the main reason is the persistence of the "ActiveSyncAllowedDeviceIDs" and "ActiveSyncBlockedDeviceIDs" parameters. After deleting these parameters via the Set-CASMailbox cmdlet, everything is "Global" again.
