We bought within the last week the "Mobile Security Suite" from Symantec for using our PDAs with a virusscan solution. I already installed it like usually and saw that the programm packet blocks to change the idle time. It's 5 Minutes. I read within the documentation that this is the standard setting also wiping after 10 wrong PINs.

The documentation also says that it's possible to change or create new policies with different settings. Our situation is these PDAs won't have access to our local network only a direct connection to the internet. The security manager needs to have a SQL server installed. That sounds a bit too big for us since we think that from 250 colleagues around 10-15 will get this antivirus solution.

We only want a possibilty to manually change this setting if needed. The controll of this antivirus software should be as small as possible. Can you tell me how easily we can change or manage these policies without a direct connection to the SQL server? Maybe create the policy and use activesync for transfering the policy files on these pdas?

The solution should be very simple for us.

If the question appears: We use Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
