Strange corporate email security warning after JB update

[Sandman333]

Anyone see anything like these warnings I got right after the JB update?

This is my work email on my personal phone. I see no reason why anyone other than me should have the ability to do any of those things. I've had this same email account on this phone since the GB days and never got a security request like that. What's going on here? My IT department says they have changed nothing.

You can decline it but pending on what they set, that may mean you can't access your email without it.

That's how I configured my works exchange server. They allow everything and if it changes it will show you the same thing and you can agree or disagree them too.

I declined granting them administrator privileges and now cannot access anything from work. The point being, before JB this was not an issue. I never got these administer requests on IT, and IT has not changed anything.

I lose push mail and calender and task integration. Not a good idea.

It might not show in my two screen shots, but that is one of the admin privileges they requested.

They forced encryption? Very surprising! I had the pop up on ICS and of course JB. Not sure how it didn't popup before. Unless you used IMAP or POP3 access before. Those wouldn't pop up the certificate.

The server is requiring permission to be able to encrypt data on the phone. I never got any administrator request on ICS. IT has not changed anything on their end. The only change is JB. Somehow, the way it handles corporate email accounts makes it think the exchange server is requesting all these administrator controls.

It is not a change in JB. If the certificate was sent originally, you did it on ICS too. One of you has forgotten something in this scenario. Sorry to say.

I use another email app too? trying it out because one change is exchange email won't light up the LED. Both programs, popped up with certificate .

I've set this same email up several times under ICS. I had several replacement phones due to defects. I never got an administrator request under ICS. All I had to do was enter my email address and password, and the account was set up automatically. I have since deleted the account from my phone in JB and set it up again and still get the request. The ONLY thing that has changed is that I updated my phone to JB. IT has not changed anything on the exchange server. Some difference between ICS and JB is causing this. There is no other option.

Here are the rest of the administrator privileges that it did not show above:

They are surely restrictive.

It's not my IT dept. It's an error on JB.

What error are you referring. Regardless if it happened before, you are seeing the right thing. Exchange is asking you if you agree to your IT security policy. You either do or you don't. IT can choose to enforce it or not. They apparently have chosen too.

The error is that the exchange server isn't specifying these administrator rights, and never has, per my IT department. JB is seeing something that isn't there.

I know exchange 2010 has this. I'm pretty sure 2007 has it too. I never ran 2007. Then 2003 didn't have this control, that I recall.

Ask them what version they are running of exchange. Ask them if the recently upgraded in the last 6 months too. Unless they are running on an exchange system older than 2007 version, this is normal.

2010 require some policy, which is what you are seeing. Ask them what their policy is.

At my work, the network team has a similar, but less restrictive, exchange policy. JB did not change anything. This is coming from the exchange server. I will say that our Razr Maxx's were not popping this up while running ICS. I thought it was strange. Now with JB, customers are getting this and are confused. I remember getting it on my personal phone when I was running Froyo and GB as well

Haven't been able to talk to the IT guy today. Last I talked to him he said the server is not set to ask for any of those permissions. I had just set up this same account on ICS twice, on two different phones, within a week before updating to JB. Both phones had to be returned for other defects. Trust me, I didn't forget anything. No administrator rights request ever came up under ICS or GB. I would remember if it had.

Ok, I give on the previous version pop up or not. The fact remains, that this is an exchange request. The old (pre 2007, i believe) activesync doesn't work the same as activesync on exchange 2007/2010. There is a default profile setup for phones on 2010. I installed it 2 months ago. They need to adjust those settings.
