Google Android support for Microsoft Exchange in pure Google devices - Manual (Page 2)

Supported information services
Users can add Microsoft Exchange accounts to their pure Google devices by using the Account
& Sync settings available from the Settings or Email app.
Android supports the following Exchange information services:
● Adding Exchange user accounts (via an ActiveSync server), and enforcement of some
mailbox policies (as described in “Supported security policies,” next).
● Synchronizing email, using the Email application
● Searching email, using the Email application
● For Exchange 2010 only, synchronizing information about messages that have been
forwarded or replied to
● Synchronizing calendar events, using the Calendar application
● Synchronizing users’ contacts, using the People application and shared system­wide
● Auto­completion from a Global Address List (GAL) when searching for email addresses
and other contact info in Email, Gmail, People, Phone, and Calendar
If you are running a Microsoft Exchange 2007 or 2010 server, Android also supports the
automatic discovery of your Exchange server, using only an email address and password, when
an account is added. (You must first configure your server to support this feature).
See this support site for information on adding accounts; using the Email, Calendar, and People
applications; and other features of Android 4.0 running on pure Google devices.
Supported security policies
Pure Google devices support the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policies described
here. For more information about Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policies, see
http://technet.microsoft.com/en­us/library/bb123484.aspx .
If you establish a mailbox policy for your Exchange server, you can also remotely wipe the
contents of any device that used your server to add an account from. For details, see Remote
Wipe policy, described below.
Require password
If you set this ActiveSync mailbox policy, users must secure their devices using a PIN or
alphanumeric password (using the PIN or Password options in Settings > Security > Screen
lock). If a device has multiple users, this policy applies to the user that has the policy installed.
Other users can continue to use a less secure screen lock.
