 Be aware of exchange security settings
Hi all, first time posting here.
Using Active Sync configuration is the way I used to set up our exchange server on the Q, but watch out if your company is using exchange 2007. MS has really tightened up mobile security which sets a device lock (not key lock) after a maximum of 1 hour. We use exchange's enhanced password security (capital letter+numeral+special character) and that is what has to be entered to unlock the Q every hour, a serious pain! What's worse is that the key lock timer on the Q is then defaulted to greyed out so that it can't be changed from exchange's settings. The good news is that there is a registry hack to allow the timer to be changed up to 24 hours. It is probably already in the forum if searched for, but here it is.
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001023
Change the value to 1 and that will allow the timer to be changed. By the way after the second Policies, you need to change from "Values" to "Keys" to see the "00001023".
I also had to add the correct certificate from the server. Hope this helps.
