Windows Phone 7 - By a cheerful coincidence Windows Phone 7 had it’s technical unveiling at combine 2010 simply as i used to be wrapping up my previous write-up on ActiveSync. Microsoft conjointly released an emulator for developers to begin coding for the new OS. If you’ve been following the news mill you’ll recognize by currently that there are some major changes this point around that differs from previous platform upgrades. Whereas you may still be ready to leverage information like C# you have got to form do with Silverlight or XNA, and compared to previous releases of Windows Mobile this breaks quite a number of applications. (Only OEMs get native code access, and even they’re going to be restricted on that native APIs they will use).

Windows Phone 7 Supported Exchange ActiveSync

Its important to note that Windows Phone 7 devices only support a subset of the Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) policies available with Exchange 2003 SP2, Exchange 2007, and Exchange 2010. Currently, Windows Phone 7 supports the following EAS policies:

• Password Required (this is the only policy available on Exchange 2003 SP2)
• Minimum Password Length
• Idle Timeout Frequency Value
• Device Wipe Threshold
• Allow Simple Password
• Password Expiration
• Password History

The following policies will always return “TRUE” (see table later on this page):

• Disable Removable Storage
• Disable IrDA
• Disable Desktop Sync
• Block Remote Desktop
• Block Internet Sharing

If you want to use EAS policies not on the above list for other mobile devices in the Exchange organization, you have the following options:

• Create a dedicated Windows Phone 7 EAS policy and associate it with mailbox users that use Windows Phone 7 devices.
• Set the AllowNonProvisionableDevices property to true in the default EAS policy already configured.
• Re-configure the default EAS policy within the Exchange organization, so it only has the policies listed above configured.

Note
When using multiple EAS accounts with policies set, the policies will be merged to a most restrictive resultant set.
