The ThinkPad Tablet includes support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. The ThinkPad Tablets can be

managed with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync in the same way as other mobile devices.

Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync offers pushmail capability for mobile devices. In addition to pushing e-mail

and calendar entries, ActiveSync allows the you to push device policies.

The ThinkPad Tablet supports the following Exchange ActiveSync controls:

• Remote wipe

• Password policies

• Device encryption

• Camera

• Wi-Fi

• Bluetooth

• Sync from PC

• Removable storage

• SD card encryption

Once a ThinkPad Tablet is configured to connect to the Exchange server, policy settings pushed to the

device from the Exchange server are automatically applied, ensuring that the device maintains the security

settings that your IT department requires.

The ThinkPad tablet e-mail client includes support for Exchange ActiveSync policies. These policies are for

password enforcement and for device encryption. Those settings natively supported by Android, including

password and device encryption, are supported without change by Lenovo.

This component extends the native ActiveSync capability built into the e-mail client to support additional

device policies not natively supported by Android. The additional ActiveSync policies supported on the

ThinkPad Tablet include:

• Removable storage (USB port and SD card enable/disable)

• Camera

• WiFi

• Desktop synchronization (micro USB enable/disable)

• Bluetooth (only Bluetooth enable/disable is supported. If the you set Bluetooth to "Handsfree only" in the

ActiveSync console, it disables the Bluetooth radio).
