Google Apps Admin Policies for iPhone, Nokia and Windows Mobile Devices

By Eunice in Blog, Google Apps at 07:31 pm


Google has focused a large amount of effort on mobile productivity with tools like Google Sync and Google Apps Connector for Blackberry Enterprise Server. Taking it a step further, it was recently announced that new controls would be launched so that administrators can ensure policy enforcement for Google Apps across a range of mobile devices.

These capabilities would allow administrators of Google Apps Premier and Education Edition better manage users’ accounts that operate on iPhone, Nokia E series, and Windows Mobile devices.

These new mobile device management capabilities will allow administrators to:

  • Remotely wipe all data from lost or stolen mobile devices
  • Lock idle devices after a period of inactivity
  • Require a device password on each phone
  • Set minimum lengths for more secure passwords
  • Require passwords to include letters, numbers and punctuation

    These would be available in the Google Apps control panel, from the “Mobile” tab under “Service Settings”. The domain administrator will be able to remotely wipe device data, as soon as the syncing of devices with Google Apps takes effect.
