Some of the new features, such as Direct Push and Autodiscover, require Windows Mobile 5.0 with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP) installed on the device to function.
These new security features allow Exchange 2007 administrators to effectively manage the security of their mobile devices. Table 3 lists the settings available in the ActiveSync mailbox policy.
To use the password policy features and the Remote Device Wipe, you need to create and associate the user with an Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy.
Different policies can be created to meet the needs of different user communities. For example, an organization might have one general user ActiveSync mailbox policy with default password settings that require a minimum of 4 characters. A second ActiveSync mailbox policy for executives with higher security requirements and more secure password settings might require a minimum of 10-character passwords. These policies would be assigned to the appropriate mailboxes.
Expand the Organization Configuration folder.
Select the Client Access folder.
In the actions pane, select New Exchange ActiveSync Mailbox Policy.
Enter the policy name, such as Default Exchange ActiveSync Mailbox Policy.
Click New to create the policy.
Expand the Recipient Configuration folder.
Select Activesync and click Properties.
Click Browse and select a policy, such as the Default Exchange ActiveSync Mailbox Policy created earlier.
Click OK three times to save the settings.
Now, the user's mobile device will have the policies applied and can be managed remotely, as is evidenced by the Manage Mobile Device selection in the mailbox actions pane.
