Andreas is right that's the list but I found a few more that worked even though it is not documented. Our company uses Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 from CloudWire and the policies allowed through their control panel really worked on the iPhone. I was kind of surprised because you know, that't the hosted version of exchange but it turns out that because they offer enterprise exchange server it may offer more ActiveSync goodies than I first thought. I will look into the difference between the Standard Exchange Server, the Enterprise and the Hosted and let you know what I found. Peter

I just moved my mailbox onto our new Exchange 2010 server. i set up Exchange email on my droid, my iPad and my iPod. When I refreshed my email on the droid, I got 3 days worth of email, all my contacts and calender events. When I refreshed my iPad and iPod, I would lose Safari. Enabling the Broser access through this policy resolved the problem. I spent about 3 days on this, even stumping one of the Apple Genuis’. Thanks for the assist.

The default policy should be picked up by mailboxes “by default”. If you create addidional policies, you have to specify (per mailbox) that it should use this policy instead.

I’m running exchange 2010 sp1 rollup 3. Under Organization Configureation – Client Access and the Excahnge ActiveSync Mailbox Policy I have two filters setup. Default and test. I have made no changes to deault, and in the test filter I’ve set several options (require password, min password length, unchecked Aloow consumer mail. However, none of these are being pushed to my iPhone4 running 4.2.8. Am I missing somthing or is the defalt policy overrideing the test one I created?

Hi All,

I was reading through everyones comments and I was just curious what Exchange server services pack allows you to push EAS policies to Iphones??? Because I have service pack 2 and password requirement policies don’t get pushed to iPhone. Thanks
