Great, thanks John and Mike. I'm going to take a few days off in July. Perhaps I can get one of the other guys to test the remote wipe on the CFO's phone while I'm gone. :)

On Android devices, it depends on the carrier/make/model/version #. The 2.0 versions did not seem to do anything with a wipe command, but we have tested several 2.1 and 2.2 devices, all of which seems to take it back to factory setup and in some cases it erases the add in memory card. Looks like every variation of the Android acts a little different with ActiveSync polices, so just test each type to verify what works or doesn't work for your setup. From: Michael B.

That is what happens with WinMo and WP7. I don't think that either iphone or android fully implement that option though. Perhaps someone who is certain can tell us. Regards, Michael B.

Somewhere I read that remote wipe removes all Exchange settings. However, this afternoon I was reading the Help section on it and it states that remote wipe returns the device to factory defaults including deleting informaiton on any storage card. I just want to clarify in the policy what a remote wipe actually does. Although, I suppose, if a user has their phone stolen they're not going to be concerned about us deleting everything.
