Exchange locking policy NOT being enforced

I use exchange also and when I log into OWA, I can go to Options > Mobile Devices and then "Wipe all data from device...". If it got into the wrong hands, this could help you rather than just locking it.

Yeah, I've actually done this before when another user left their phone in a taxi.

The autolocking is very useful though for that time when you lose the phone and don't realize it. This way, there won't even be a short period of time where someone can access the info (presuming it was locked when lost).

What I'm trying to figure out is why it wouldn't lock like the old treo 700w did. I assume this is NOT normal behavior.

That is def. not normal. I don't have the Verizon TP, but I know my Sprint version does lock as it is set to by Exchange. Maybe the Verizon rom lacks something that enables the device to enforce the Exchange requirements? Don't know, but that isn't normal at all...

What? Verizon doing something abnormal and breaking a pocketpc? No - never

Seriously though, any verizon users out there with a TP and exchange sync with security?
