I have purchased a windows 8 RT surface. I was disheartened to find out that they haven't seem to fix major issues with EAS. Our environment enforces encryption and passcodes before you can enable active sync on your device. It appears that these policies don't work with windows 8 mail. I even tried with the pro version on my laptop no dice. "This PC can't meet the security requirements for syncing" why can Microsoft screw this up when IOS and Android devices work fine with our policies!
Any help would be amazing!
