Since Facebook is pulling the data from the phone itself, that is where the issue lies. So unless the FB app supported some type of policy that could be applied to a phone.... Well then your only choices are:
As mentioned before. If you have an MDM solution, you could block people from being able to sync their phones with Exchange if they have the FB app installed. Inform the users about what could happen and tell them how to turn off contact syncing on the FB apps. Of course this would probably only apply to the "official" FB apps. Unfortunately, there are a plethora of different ways to sync with FB through built in manufacturer sync options and third party apps... Could become an issue of keeping up with all the new apps and options as they are released. Also the other services that were mentioned as well. Thinking of ways to protect against this makes my head hurt too much for a Friday...

No, but it does put the person's personal contacts, many of whom are business contacts, into the phone.

The subject is "Blocking Facebook from Syncing with Exchange.". Synching a device via ActiveSync doesn't pull the GAL from Exchange into the Contacts on the phone, does it? You can do GAL look-ups but, I didn't think it actually copied each one to the device.

Hiya, Unless you plan to use some sort of Mobile Device Management solution, you don't have many options available I'm afraid. An MDM solution could allow you to either keep the company info in a secure container, or manage the device itself. The former sounds most applicable to your situation, so Good for Enterprise might be a good start. However if your company is small enough to use SBS I would suggest your initial option may be to make it clear to users that syncing contacts via ActiveSync is unacceptable for the stated reasons. This may be a case of asking them to go to the settings for mail and de selecting Contacts. Bear in mind Twitter, LinkedIn, FourSquare and other apps also allow the user to upload contacts in the same way as Facebook.

We have a lot of our users accessing their Outlook email using their personal smart phones. We have recently discovered that if they are also using the mobile version of Facebook it will sync all of their Outlook contacts with their Facebook contacts. This is not exceptable to the company for some obvious reasons. The only thing I have found is using Outlook Social Connector but from reading the walk through I'm not sure it will do what we need it to do. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
