Is it just me or is anyone else a little concerned about how much control the "administrators" have over our very personal devices now?
I've seen the setting options in exchange 2003. They can basically enforce group policy on your device now. Not only can you be forced to have a password on your device (which you should anway) they can force the timeout before the device asks for the password or even force the strong alphanumeric password option. You cannot turn these options off.
does anyone know if you turn off direct push or delete the exchabge server settings if you get control of your device back or is a hard reset and rebuild the only way to undo the "group policy"?
