Exchange sync is supported by the device? Are you saying you've got a problem with yours that means it isn't working?

Works fine for me anyway.

I doubt it'll ever happen with the N900 (not on Maemo 5 anyway). In order to validate the provisioning, you need to be able to guarantee the integrity of all the components. With the level of control the user has under Maemo 5, this is unlikely to be possible (hence the introduction of a separate "DRM mode" for Harmattan).

If you feel strongly about this, then please do vote for the relevant bug so that it actually gets brought to the attention of the developers.

Exchange sync is supported, but provisioning is not. What this means is that if your company has a security policy in place which includes requirements for mobile devices connecting to the Exchange server (minimum password length, ability to remote lock/wipe, etc), then the N900 will not work.

Does desktop Linux support it?

Um; so a device that's under the control of its owner isn't a computer, but a locked-down client that simply runs as an obedient slave to a remote server is?

I think you may need to adjust your idea of what a computer is.

Thats interesting, works with NHS.net fine? - yet that forces minimum length, remote wipe etc.......
