    Question: Hi

    There is this setting I see in the Exchange 2007 SP1 ActiveSync policy.

    We have several requirements for users connecting via ActiveSync, so I assume this means that if the mobile device cannot meet the requirements they can no longer connect?

    For users that already connecting with these sort of devices, will they recv any sort of warning or will their connection just be killed? From the testing I have carried out, they just loose their connection!

    Also, are there any sort of devices that are known to not be able to meet ActiveSync policy requirements (e.g. Andriod, Symbian etc)

    The non-provisionable devices will immediately loose their ability to synchronize. And if you want to allow access you need to move the user account to a policy that allows non-provisonable devices.

    Windows Mobile devices will for the most part work perfectly (only exception being if you have old devices like WM5). Some Symbian devices are good to go - for instance the E-Series. The N-series have a few models that will work, but most of these are non-provisionable.

    iPhones are ok for synching as long as they're not running the first releases of the iPhone OS.

    Android devices are non-provisionable.

    Other than that... well... there's a lot of devices out there implementing ActiveSync and you can only know for sure by testing...

    "The non-provisionable devices will immediately loose their ability to synchronize"

    Thanks Andreas.

    So you are saying that when I apply this setting, all non-provisionable devices will lose their connection. Is there any way to tell how many non-provisionable devices are connected to Exchange at the moment? Is there any mention in the logs - and, if so, which logs do I need to look at?

    Thanks for the help!

    I am not aware of any way to find out which of the connecting devices are non-provisionable. You are able to find all devices currently syncing by parsing logs on your CAS server (I do not remember how at the moment, but it should be available in the Technet Library.) The devices will report a user agent and based on this you can try to perform an educated guess if it's provisionable or not.

    The easier way is to just turn the setting on. Those with devices that are unable to sync will most likely inform you of this real soon :) I don't know if your policies dictate that you can tell them that's just the way things are, or you have to allow them to sync with these devices. (Create multiple activesync policies and assign appropriately.)

    Android devices are non-provisionable.

    This is not correct.   I believe "Provisionable" is decided by the CanTransistionManagement parameter on the device.  Unfortunately, I'm not yet certain how to report against this.  Perhaps you could report against the ActiveSync version.  I believe 2.5 is when password management was introduced.
