Hello, I have Exchange 2010 SP2 Enterprise with Exchange Standard User CAL's. In order to be compliant I am modifying my ActiveSync Policy properties per the following Article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123484.aspx . It states the following: "The following mailbox policies require an Exchange Enterprise Client Access License: Disable removable storageDisable cameraDisable SMS text messagingDisable Wi-FiDisable BluetoothDisable IrDAAllow Internet sharing from deviceAllow desktop sharing from deviceDisable POP3/IMAP4 emailAllow consumer emailAllow web browserAllow unsigned applicationsAllow unsigned CABsApplication allow listApplication block listUnapproved InROM application list" So my question is the following, Is Microsoft saying that I have to Disable "Allow Consumer Email" to be compliant since I have Standard CALS? If so what impact does it have on mobile devices? I called Microsoft and they said "That's what it looks like". If thats the case then are they saying that if you use ActiveSync and want to use Consumer Email such as Yahoo or GMAIL on your phone then you need a Exchange Enterprise User CAL?? Sounds shadey, Please Help

Just found this at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123994.aspx "Allow consumer mail Select this check box to allow the mobile phone to access e-mail accounts other than Microsoft Exchange accounts. Consumer e-mail accounts include accounts that are accessed through POP3 and IMAP4. NOTE: This check box doesn't control access to third-party mobile phone e-mail applications. " So is this only referring to Windows Mobile Phones?

No, it's saying that if you change the default value you need an Enterprise CAL. >If so what impact does it have on mobile devices? None, unless you want to disable it.

No, if you want to DISABLE it you need the Enterprise CAL. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

I will go with your solution that the Default Settings are what is allowed with Standard CALs. But they need to word the article better. It makes it seem that the outlined variables per the article require an Enterprise CAL. Thanks Rich!

It makes it seem that the outlined variables per the article require an Enterprise CAL. You won't get any argument from me! How about changing this: "The following mailbox policies require an Exchange Enterprise Client Access License" To this: "Changing the default values for any of the following mailbox policies require an Exchange Enterprise Client Access License" Then provide a complete set of policy options in this section: Default Exchange ActiveSync settings --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
