I'm reading into Microsoft Exchange and Client Policies that can apply to Mobile devices, including Android.<br />

My question is, how is it possible for ActiveSync policies to issue a Remote Wipe against a mobile device? <br />
Does the mobile device have to be on the domain for Exchange to have Administrative Access to the system?<br />
Or is there some type of root access that is granted to Exchange once an ActiveSync mailbox is setup on the mobile device?

What permissions needed on a Mobile device to use Exchange policies like Remote Wipe?

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
