Remote Wipe – on iPhone
This feature is available on Mobile Me for iPhone, but you have to subscribe this account…if you have exchange server in your organization/company….below article is for you guys…!!!
Mobile phones can store sensitive corporate data and provide access to many corporate resources. If a device is lost or stolen, that data can be compromised. Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 / 2007 provides a remote device wipe feature. You can issue a remote device wipe command from the Exchange Management Shell. Users can issue their own remote device wipe commands from the Microsoft Office Outlook Web App user interface. (For users to do their remote wipe from Outlook Web Access->log into their Outlook Web access->on the right top, there will be a menu called “Options”->click Options–>on the left pane…you will find “Mobile Devices”–>click and select “Wipe all Data from Device…”)
The remote device wipe feature also includes a confirmation function that writes a time stamp in the sync state data of the user’s mailbox. This time stamp is displayed in Outlook Web App and in the user’s mobile phone properties dialog box in the Exchange Management Console.
So to test this feature, i’ve done the remote wipe from my Exchange server to my iPhone 3Gs…(This server should be mailbox store where the mailbox properties of each user displayed) as displayed below.
Select the user whom you want to do the remote wipe, Click on Manage mobile device…
From the “Managed mobile device for….” area, select the iPhone, which is listed for this particular user, and at the bottom area where “Action” pane….select “Perform a remote wipe…” and then click “Clear” button.
IF YOU ARE DOING THIS AS A TEST, MAKE SURE THAT YOU TAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR IPHONE FROM ITUNES FOR LATER RESTORE MODE…VERY IMPORTANT.
Once this action is done, the next sync from the mobile to the server, Wipe command executes on the iPhone device..and screen goes blank….cool..No tention about the contacts or data.
Now the hardest part is …this sounds great on, when you lost your iPhone and your IT team secure your data safe…!!!! but if you are doing a test on your own iPhone…errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
After the remote wipe…iPhone just hung and display only Apple logo….for a very long time…(i never had a patient to wait…so i hard boot it…still the same logo smiling at me…and my colegues are telling me…”I told you…i told you…)
Next step is to take the iphone to the next level….First Switch off the phone.. take it to DFU mode!!!! What is this? DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode is not the same as restore mode. DFU mode bypasses the current OS installed and allows you to upgrade or downgrade your OS.
ENJOY…!!!!

For your information, When you are running Exchange server 2010 active sync on a mobile device, make sure that the user you are testing is not a member of any administrator group. In Exchnage 2010, by default if a user is a member of any Administrator group, then he will not be able to sync his mobile device..
Make sure that you have to open TCP Port 443 on the firewall to listen.
If you have to test a user, who is falling under any administrative group, then on active directory users and computers –>view menu select Advanced options–>then user properties->select the security tab->click advanced and ensure that inheritable permissions check box has to be checked
As you are aware of the autodiscovery feature from Exchange server 2007, with outlook 2007, this feature has gone a far ahead to reduce the RPC over HTTPS configuration headaches or the outlook configuration for client which is part of the network and is sitting outside the firewall…good na. Here i’m talking about the server in a domain…autodiscovery works a bit different on Non-domain platform..configuration is slightly different.
When you upgrade Exchange server 2007 to SP2, this is going to be a bit demanding task. clients connecting from outside and inside starts demanding for authentication…in which you need a SSL certificate with Subject Alternative Names (SAN) specified..
Once the upgrade is done, Autodiscover information is stored in a so called SCP or Service Connection Point. You can view this SCP using Active Directory Sites and Services after you have enabled the “View Services Node” option. (When installing the Client Access Server (Autodiscover is part of this Server Role) the SCP is automatically created in Active Directory and configured with the default values. If you have multiple CAS Servers there will be multiple SCP’s as well)…now will see how to configure Microsoft Exchange services, such as the Availability service, for the Autodiscover service on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 computer that has the Client Access server role installed. When you enable Outlook Anywhere, you must also configure external access to Microsoft Exchange services for the Autodiscover service. This includes the URLs for the Availability service, Exchange Web Services, Unified Messaging (UM), and the offline address book. If you do not configure the external URL values, the Autodiscover service information provided to the Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 client may be incorrect for clients that are connecting from outside your network. They may be able to connect to their Microsoft Exchange mailbox. However, they will be unable to use Exchange features such as Out of Office functionality, the Availability service, Unified Messaging, or offline address book downloads. Generally, the internal URL is configured by Microsoft Exchange Setup. However, the external URLs must be configured by using the virtual directory cmdlet for each component
In general – Autodiscover service provides the following information to the client computer that is running Outlook 2007:
So when a user starts Outlook 2007 for the first time, they no longer have to specify any information if their computer is joined to the domain. Outlook 2007 will start, gather the information automatically, log the user on to their mailbox, and begin retrieving information from your Exchange deployment.
* Exchange Management Shell to configure the external host name for Outlook Anywhere for the Autodiscover service
Enable-OutlookAnywhere -Server HnC01 -ExternalHostname “mail.company.com” -DefaultAuthenticationMethod “Basic” -SSLOffloading:$False
* Exchange Management Shell to configure the external URL for the offline address book for the Autodiscover service
Set-OABVirtualDirectory -identity “HnC01\OAB (Default Web Site)” -externalurl https://mail.company.com/OAB -RequireSSL:$true
* Exchange Management Shell to configure the external URL for Unified Messaging for the Autodiscover service
Set-UMVirtualDirectory -identity “HnC01\UnifiedMessaging (Default Web Site)” -externalurl https://mail.company.com/UnifiedMessaging/Service.asmx -BasicAuthentication:$True
* Exchange Management Shell to configure the external URL for Exchange Web Services for the Autodiscover service
Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -identity “HnC01\EWS (Default Web Site)” -externalurl https://mail.company.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx -BasicAuthentication:$True
To troubleshooting your Autodiscover configuration, ther is a site which is developed by a few guys from the Microsoft Exchange Product Team to test Remote Analyzer that is available on the Internet
A good tool…
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 introduces the Exchange Deployment Assistant or ExDeploy, a new Web-based tool that can help you with your Exchange deployment. ExDeploy asks you a few questions about your current environment and then generates a custom checklist and procedures that help simplify your deployment.
You can use ExDeploy for the following scenarios:

Dumpster is essentially a view stored per folder. Items in the dumpster stay in the folder where they were soft-deleted (shift-delete or delete from Deleted Items) and are stamped with the ptagDeletedOnFlag flag. These items are special-cased in the store to be excluded from normal Outlook views and quotas. In addition, data with this flag cannot be searched or indexed.
Key architectural changes in Exchange 2010 must meet these requirements
To facilitate these requirements, Dumpster was re-architected, Dumpster 2.0 is no longer simply a view…Dumpster in Exchange 2010 is implemented as a folder called the Recoverable Items and is located within the Non-IPM subtree of the user’s mailbox (note that this is a hidden section of the mailbox and is not exposed to the end user through any client interface). The folder has three sub-folders:
Dumpster data is now indexed and discoverable, can now be moved with the mailbox, and is now stored on a per-mailbox basis rather than a per folder basis. Exchange 2010 includes capability for each mailbox to also maintain an archive mailbox as well. There is a dumpster for both the primary mailbox and the archive mailbox. Data deleted in the primary mailbox is placed in the primary mailbox dumpster, while data deleted in the archive mailbox is placed in the archive mailbox dumpster. Unlike previous exchange server, Exchange 2010 automatically purges items from dumpster 14 days by default and 120 days for calendar items..you can set this up..
Exchange 2010 includes the ability to ensure that data within the mailbox is preserved for a period of time…short term or long term. This feature can be enabled enabled on a per mailbox basis by running the following cmdlet: Set-Mailbox <identity> -SingleItemRecoveryEnabled $true
