Support for over-the-air lookup of global address list (GAL) information stored on Exchange Server. With the Messaging and Security Service Pack, mobile device users will be able to receive contact properties for individuals in the GAL. These properties can be used to search remotely for a person quickly based on name, company, and/or other aspect. Users will get all of the information they need to reach their contacts without having the data store on their device.
Security Features
Security features help protect personal and corporate files on mobile devices.
Exchange Server 2003 SP2 helps you to configure and manage a central policy that requires all mobile device users to protect their device with a password in order to access the Exchange server. You can specify the length of the password, require usage of a character or symbol, and designate how long the device has to be inactive before prompting the user for the password again.
An additional setting, wipe device after failed attempts, allows you to delete all data and certificates on the device after the user enters the wrong password a specified number of times. The user will see a series of alert dialog boxes warning of the possible wipe and providing the number of attempts left before it happens. External memory, such as a secure digital (SD) card, is not erased.
You can also specify whether non-compliant devices can synchronize. Devices are considered non-compliant if they do not support the security policy you have specified. In most cases, these are devices not configured with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack.
The device security policies are managed from Exchange System Manager’s Mobile Services Properties interface.
