Exchange ActiveSync
®
If your organisation uses Microsoft
®
Exchange ActiveSync
®
(EAS), Xperia™
devices are well prepared to work in your corporate environment. This
makes it easy for Xperia™ devices to interact with, for example, Exchange
servers, offering you full mobile flexibility with features such as push email,
calendar and contacts. Xperia™ devices support standard Microsoft
®
Exchange ActiveSync
®
security tools, including policies for requiring
passwords in devices and enforcing encryption of device data. If you
enforce the use of passwords, users must secure their Xperia™ devices
with a PIN or an alphanumeric password.
Once an encryption policy is implemented, users must secure their
Xperia™ devices by encrypting the content. With these two policies
enforced in mobile devices that access your organisation’s network,
your corporate mobile infrastructure will be significantly more secure.
To enforce the protection of sensitive information, Xperia™ devices
have support for policies that enforce encrypted email with S/MIME in
Microsoft
®
Exchange ActiveSync
®
. Xperia™ devices also support access
authentication to Microsoft Exchange Servers via Microsoft
®
Exchange
ActiveSync
®
using digital certificates, or a user name and password.
There is support for a wide range of Microsoft
®
Exchange ActiveSync
®
Mobile Device Management (MDM) features in Xperia™ devices. To protect
data on a mobile device which has been lost, Xperia™ devices support
features for remotely locking devices and wiping their content over the air.
As a supplement to enforcing device policies, IT administrators using
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 can control which EAS-enabled devices
are allowed to connect to their Exchange Servers. This is done using a
feature called Allow/Block/Quarantine list (ABQ). MDM and Microsoft®
Exchange ActiveSync® policies allow IT administrators to control and
manage features in devices, for example, remote wipe, passwords,
encryption and camera use, whereas the ABQ list determines which
devices are allowed to connect to a Microsoft Exchange Server. By using
the Unapproved in ROM application list policy, blacklisted applications can
be blocked from being run on the device.
When using Microsoft
®
Exchange ActiveSync
®
for mail services with
Exchange Server, the Global Address List (GAL) is available. This is a
centrally-managed address book containing, for example, all individual
email addresses, meeting rooms and distribution groups in your
organisation. The peak-time feature in Xperia™ devices allows you to set
an individual time range when messages will be sent and received to avoid
the untimely reception of mail and high-rate periods in a network. Out-of-
Office notifications can also be set directly on the device.
