Exchange 2003 Mobile Messaging Part 2 - Uncovering the Device Security Policies

Exchange 2003 Mobile Messaging Part 2 - Uncovering the Device Security PoliciesWe all know how easy it is to lose a mobile device, or even worse have it stolen. Now that we have the possibility of synchronizing our devices with a mailbox, we need a way to properly secure our devices, so that any corporate information or other sensitive data can be held secure. With Exchange 2003 SP2 applied, you as an administrator have the possibility of configuring mandatory PIN or password requirements for the Windows 5.0 Mobile Devices that synchronize with the Exchange servers in your organization. You could for example configure a device to require a four-digit personal identification number (PIN), that the users would need to enter before they were allowed access to their device. If a user were to enter this PIN incorrectly let's say four times, you could even configure the device security settings so that all data on the device would be erased (equal to a local wipe).
