Remote wipe

The remote wipe feature is enabled in the Exchange service operated by TUD Dresden University of Technology. This allows the service administration or the relevant department to securely and remotely delete all data from the affected device in the event of loss, theft, or compromise, thereby restoring it to its factory settings.
When setting up an Exchange account on mobile devices, you must consent to the activation of the remote wipe functionality.
