You know, it might be the result of the Android upgrade and Google adding this little bit of 'Warning/Marketing' scare bit for ActiveSync clients. As to personal phones on a 'business mail system' I strongly urge you to make someone write a policy on it. Ours currently is you get fired unless you have sign off from executive management. Guess who has sign off from executive management? If you guessed some group mentioned in the previous sentence you guessed right. However, for them to play that they had to sign a release from our Security team that they were aware that we could wipe their devices. Our policy includes who can tell us to wipe the device as well.

What we do. the only time we’ve wiped a device is at user request when it’s been “misplaced”. Some people just don’t understand though so we’ve had a few opt-outs after the fact.

One was a little irate asking who setup this policy and where is it published that we can do this to his phone. Its opened up a can of worms for us even though we use the default policy and don’t place any restrictions on the users. I guess we are going to have to publish something on our site explaining that although we have these capabilities...we don’t use them. We also don’t wipe phones unless requested by our security department of which we have had maybe 2 for 15,000 accounts in the last 5 years.

When he attempts to connect to our Exchange 2007 server, he’s getting a security policy screen that says we can disable the camera, wipe the unit, etc. Although we haven’t updated anything on the server recently, this is the first time we’ve seen this message at our company. I’ve done a bit of googling and I found the screen where these settings are set up. We have a default policy that is set to Microsoft’s defaults. Everything is set to “Allow”. I note that we would need “Exchange Enterprise CALs” to make changes to the settings and I don’t think we have any of those. I’m not sure what to tell the Exec. Is this policy acceptance screen just a catch all? How can we be assured that it’s not going to hose his phone?
