The trick here being we have no AS policies configured. I would expect none of our devices would force a PIN. So far the only one that appears to do that is the Droid 2 running v2.2
Greg suggested it may be a difference between 2.1 and 2.2, but my point being that I have observed 2.2 on a Droid (1) and do not see that behavior. I would be curious to know on what device Greg's 2.2 user was seeing this issue. Was is also a Droid 2 or a different device? Brad From: Michael B.

ActiveSync is a protocol which includes policies. A given implementation can choose to include or exclude whatever it wants, including which policies it chooses to enforce. The only overall expectation is what when a device says it implements a policy, it actually does so. Regards, Michael B.

Droid 2 running 2.2 forced the PIN, Droid running 2.2 does not force the pin. Anyone else have any insight?

I have the original Droid running 2.1 and it doesn't have this behavior. We just made him put in a pin, but would be interested to find out the answer as well. -Greg From: Brad Metzler [mailto:bmetz...@cu-portland.edu] Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2010 2:00 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 2010 device security on Android We just brought out first few Android users onboard. Our activesync policy is default, no password or device requirements, however while iPhone and Winmobile don't require a password, the Android devices require a device password as soon as you add the exchange account and under settings indicate that it is required by corporate policy. Anyone else running into this or just a bug in our deployment? Brad
