Exchange Password Exchange

Hi,

A client has had their laptop stolen, we have reset the password on the active directory so the exchange will not sync up if the laptop is powered on.

After resetting the password this morning the user can still receive emails on their Android mobile, how is this possible when the password has been changed and they havent entered the new email password on phone?

I logged into their owa with the new password and it shows as syncing

Mon 08/06/2015 17:04      OK
First Sync on: Thu 06/03/2014 12:36
Device ID: androidc
User Agent: Android/5.0.2-EAS-2.0

Any ideas?

if the user power cycles the phone, does it still automatically connect?

The user will not power the phone on and off as he wants to see if the phone will force the password update, he is concerned that if the phone was stolen would they still be able to send and receive emails.

Hi Will

If I go into EMC and right click the mailbox and disable, will this not cause problems with the mailbox, I don't want to risk damage to the user or mailbox?

I have tried restarting all the exchange services and that doesn't do anything

If the only way to force is to disable then so be it, obviously we don't want to wipe the phone as its the laptops that's been stolen.

thanks
Disconnecting the mailbox removes the Exchange Attributes for the Active Directory Account. This does not damage the mailbox in anyway. You would then go into Disconnected Mailboxes and reconnect the Mailbox to Active Direcotry Account.

thanks Will, I will try this
Do you have any other forest or domain? where you have ID for this user, similar to current domain. Also, want to know, how user logs in, does it uses domain\username or just username.
