One of the things I get asked about quite a lot, is how you can set specific permissions in Exchange Server and Exchange Online.

Tool Tip: RBAC Manager R2 for Exchange
This week I had a session at a customer to customize the default RBAC roles, for instance removing the mobile device remote wipe feature from Recipient Management.

Now, I know the Mail app has been around for some time now.

Apple iPhone 5s TouchID and Exchange ActiveSync (updated)
2013/10/17: Added support statement by Microsoft below Just today I was curious how the Apple biometric convenience solution TouchID on the iPhone 5s would impact password policies enforced by Exchange ActiveSync(EAS).
