Went to remote wipe an iphone today….
Posted on February 18, 2009 by mellerbeck
Basically, if you have never applied a security policy to the phone, then it will ask the person who stole it if they want it to be wiped…. That is very strange.

OWA keeps asking for credentials microsoft exchange 2003
Posted on February 6, 2009 by mellerbeck
I don’t know why it kept asking the user for credentials, it was only doing it on a cellular modem connection wifi would work just fine. When I had the user start using a https:// connection it became rock solid. So the solution use SSL. Weird.
