[imp] Wipe provisioned activesync device?

This completely depends on the device/client. For example, iOS devices  
using the native ActiveSync support will be *completely* wiped to  
factory default. Early android devices did not wipe anything, recent  
android devices will also be completely wiped. If using a third party  
application like e.g., TouchDown for Exchange - it's _likely_ only the  
application's data will be wiped (and this is indeed what TouchDown  
does).

> Has anybody actually tried this?

Yes, numerous times, while developing this feature.

I've wiped my sacrificial iPod Touch and older Android devices too  
many times to count. I've also (accidently) wiped my day-to-day Galaxy  
Nexus once...
