  +++ Provisioning/!RemoteWipe

  Provisioning allows devices to be more tightly registered with a  
particular server. It enables the server to be able to send policy  
settings to the device. These policy settings include things like  
requiring a PIN to unlock the device, the complexity of the PIN  
required, the number of failed login attempts allowed etc...  
Additionally, it enables devices to be remotely wiped so that if a  
device is lost or stolen, the user or administrator can request the  
device to be wiped.

-As of yet, no user interface yet exists for initiating a remote wipe,  
but the functionality is there. To manually test this, you need to set  
the value of the device_rwstatus field from 0 to 2 and change the  
value of device_policykey to 0 in the horde_activesync_device table  
for the device you want to wipe. **PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU  
ARE DOING - THIS RESETS SOME DEVICES TO FACTORY DEFAULTS**
+Users can initiate a remote wipe, as well as view/manage their  
partnered devices in the !ActiveSync user preference.

  The next time the device attempts to request a command other then  
PING or OPTIONS, it will be wiped. **DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!**  
After it is wiped, if you wish to allow the device to connect to your  
server again, you should remove the entry in the device table for the  
device so it can be rebuilt. If you do not remove this entry, or at  
least set the value of rwstatus back to 0, the device will continue to  
be wiped each time it reconnects to the server.
