Remote Device Wipe Works



Exchange ActiveSync policies, you can add a password requirement to your mobile phones.

In addition to resetting the mobile phone to factory default condition, a remote device wipe also deletes any data on any storage card that's inserted in the mobile phone.

Local device wipe & Remote device wipe

Local device wipe is the mechanism by which a mobile phone wipes itself without the request coming from the server. If your organization has implemented Exchange ActiveSync policies that specify a maximum number of password attempts and that maximum is exceeded, the mobile phone performs a local device wipe. The result of a local device wipe is the same as that of a remote device wipe. The device is returned to its factory default condition. When a mobile phone performs a local device wipe, no confirmation is sent to the Exchange server.
