You can create an Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy to configure a variety of security options for users. In addition to password requirements and settings, you can use the General page to specify the types of devices that can connect to the Exchange server and whether attachments can be synchronized.

Allow non-provisionable devices

Select this check box to allow devices that cannot be provisioned automatically. These devices may be unable to enforce all the Exchange ActiveSync policy settings. By selecting this box, you are allowing these devices to synchronize even though all policy settings may not be applied.

Allow attachments to be downloaded to device

Select this option to allow attachments to be downloaded to the mobile device. If selected, files that are attached to synchronized e-mail messages can be downloaded to the mobile device. Users must select the attachment to mark it for download. After the attachment is selected, it is downloaded at the next scheduled synchronization for users who do not have Direct Push. For users who have Direct Push, the attachment is downloaded immediately.

  • Maximum attachment size   Use this text box to enter the maximum size of the attachments that can be downloaded to the mobile device. Any attachments larger than this size will not be downloaded.

Windows File Shares

Select this check box to enable access to files that are stored on Universal Naming Convention (UNC) shares.

Windows SharePoint Services

Select this check box to enable access to files that are stored on Windows SharePoint Services sites.
