No "Wipe" command in Exchange ActiveSync Mobile Administration Web Tool
I have installed the tool on our Exchange 2003 server and I am able to view lists of our users smartphones, pocket PCs, and even Droid and Palm devices that are syncing with Exchange. I can block or delete partnerships with these devices.

I do not see a "Wipe" link to click on anywhere. So apparently I am not able to issue a command to remotely erase data on lost or stolen equipment.

What must be done to allow me to "Wipe" a lost device?

Thanks!

"If you have installed the Exchange 2003 ActiveSync Web Administration Tool (also known as MobileAdmin) you probably played with the Remote Wipe feature. You may have noticed that the user must click "OK" to wipe the device. Well, that may not fit your customer's needs. They may need to wipe the device NOW. You can do this however you have to be proactive about it. In order for Remote Wipe to hard reset the device without user input, the device has to have accepted *any* Exchange Server Security Policy. What this means is that you have to check the box for "Enforce password on device" and let that policy sync to the device."
No "Wipe" Option in Exchange ActiveSync Mobile Administration Web Tool
I'm having the same problem here. We are running Exchange 2003 in a cluster environment (on backendj) with two front end servers. I installed the tool on both front end servers, and I am not given the option to "Wipe" device.
