Exchange ActiveSync

Exchange ActiveSync lets users access corporate data stored in the Exchange server or any other EAS compliant server. Users can access information such as e-mails, contacts, calendar, and tasks even when they are offline. EAS can be configured to use SSL encryption to establish secure communication between the EAS host and the managed devices.

Troubleshooting tips

I've changed passcode for the Exchange accounts of all users. But they're still able to access it as they've logged in previously. How do I ensure the user logs in with the new passcode?
