You can wipe your phone via icloud. It should be on you to password protect it.
Neither iCloud nor Exchange ask the phone for permission before wiping it, so I'm not sure why you're suggesting one over the other for that reason.

Interesting. Not happening to us. We have Exchange 2007 and 2010 servers. No issues. That being said, this integration was never perfect. Partly the problem lies with Exchange. We have tons of issues with Outlook clients and Exchange. Meetings get screwed up without iPhones or Android phones at times.
who the hell still uses exchange Jeeps!
pls join the 21st century
it's not 1995 anymore
And, if it did cancel the meeting for everyone when one person declined, that sounds like an Exchange bug.

If you hook up your private phone to your companies then its your problem and not the admins. If they do that to your work phone, then again, not your issue.
You clearly never worked for a corporate.

Exchange seems to be an issue affecting both iOS and OS 10.8.2 -- Way too buggy.
If I could I would urge people never to touch Microsoft Exchange due to the fact that admins have the ability to wipe your phone with one click and no permission.
What a buncha ******** that is...
Not necessarily at all.
I think you must be confusing Exchange with MobileMe. Millions of users work for companies that use Exchange. Don't be ignorant or obtuse
Not necessarily at all.
You act like enterprise/organizations/IT do that sort of thing on a whim. Any organization has rigid rules about that sort of destruction. If only because the organization's data will be lost from that device, never mind the possible backlash. Where I work, it requires the IT Director to approve.
Yes, it can be done. But the mentality that thinks it just happens for no good reason or with no big internal drama - including Internal Audit - is the paranoid mentality that thinks that we sit there looking at your emails because we have nothing better to do.
Exactly. I don't know where people get off saying that Apple is alone in their problems with Exchange.
My corporate Android phone still screws up the times of recurring meetings by an hour or sometimes several hours on the phone, and then happily syncs those times back to Exchange to screw up my calendar in Outlook. Also, when I get a meeting request, I can see when the request was sent but not when the meeting is scheduled: but I can accept of decline. :facepalm:
After confirming this behavior, our Exchange team is recommending not using the calendar on the 2.3 Android phones. There supposedly is a fix, but we can't upgrade due to carrier restrictions. At least not without rooting the phone, which is prohibited in most corporate environments (including ours).
We wipe virus-infected Windows PCs on a daily basis.
Not the same thing. Point missed.

Yes, technically it can be done. But the mentality that thinks it just happens for no good reason or with no big internal drama - including review by Internal Audit - is the paranoid mentality that thinks that we sit there looking at your emails because we have nothing better to do. While, personally, it would amuse me to wipe out your device, you're not worth the paperwork and meetings and such that would result. You're just not that interesting.
BTW, it's not just Exchange that can do it - any MDM solution can do it as well, such as MobileIron or Casper. Something for you to fret over at night. Oh, and probably your carrier as well.
This is about taking a working, functional device - potentially not owned by the organization, but still subject to the organization's rules, policies and sanctions - and deliberately bricking it, not taking a faulty component out of service for maintenance, which is simply BAU.
I may do this for kicks/giggles. I think people would actually thank me...

That's tough to enforce when you can't run iOS5 on iPhone 5, and a lot of people use personal smartphones for work these days.
