Use this screen to manage the ActiveSync Policies that can be assigned to user devices to govern various options. Predefined policies are provided, and you can create, edit and delete your own. Default and overriding policies can can be assigned to the domain and each account and client on their respective Assigned Policy screens.
Not all ActiveSync devices recognize or apply policies consistently. Some may ignore policies or certain policy elements altogether, and others may require a device reboot before changes take effect. Further, when attempting to assign a new policy to a device, it will not be applied to the device until the next time it connects on its own to the ActiveSync server; policies cannot be "pushed" to devices until they connect. |
