While checking my RSS feeds noticed that Susan Bradley has bloged about Microsoft releasing the Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync Web Administration Tool.

Just to clear up some confusion:

a) the remote wipe functionality and all the other SP2 extensions are NOT available as of yet and will not be backported to devices prior to Windows Mobile 5.0. If your phone is not running WM5 you're holding a brick.

b) MSFP can only be installed by an OEM/manufacturer so it is not a freebie download that you can just get going.

c) Say good-bye to this functionality on your Audiovox, it is not supported under WM5 and thus not compatible with MSFP and the new functionality only available with WM5/MSFP combo.

Sad news but better you know now and plan your upgrades accordingly.

When will we get the same level of support from Exchange for lost / stolen laptops. I think they qualify as mobile devices as well. I may be wrong, but i'm pretty sure that a lot more laptops running Outlook synchronizing with Exchange are lost & stolen every year than cell phones & PDA's which do the same.
