Managing Exchange ActiveSync Users

By default, if the Client Access server role is installed in a Microsoft Exchange organization that is running Exchange Server 2007, Exchange ActiveSync is enabled for all users. You can disable Exchange ActiveSync for a user or group of users and also manage various settings for your Exchange ActiveSync users.

To simplify management of your Exchange ActiveSync users, you can create Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policies. These policies help you apply specific settings to a single user or group of users. Some of the available settings include the following:

• Require a password
  
  
• Require an alphanumeric password
  
  
• Allow attachments to be downloaded to the device
  
  
• Allow access to Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services documents
  
  
• Enable device encryption

Administrative permissions are required to manage the computer that is running Exchange 2007 that has the Client Access server role installed.
