We have iphones in place. Started with Exchange 2003 but now Exchange 2007. Managing devices is much better in 2007, it is part of the user account where Exch 2003 require the Mobile Admin web site, which is awful.
Our big problem with doing activesync is policy control, remote wipe, and the user can have as many devices as they want. I love the Blackberry environment because you can set a policy for everything on the device, with AS you only get basic settings. If you remote wipe a device it does not respond back that it was successful done, unlike a Blackberry. Once the user has the AS setup information, they can connect as many devices as they want. We have a Good server in place for user that wanted Palm and Windows mobile devices, before AS. We have a project in place to upgrade that environment to the latest version so we can see how well it works on the iphones.

We didn't address all of the security concerns that we had due to pressure from upstairs. We did install a ISA server, which wasn't a bad thing because we can use it for other applications. In hindsight, we probably would have gone with a Good server.

If so, did you have any security concerns and if so how did you mitigate them? Anyone here look into using iPhones and decide NOT to implement it?
