Use Android with Microsoft® Office 365 or Exchange ActiveSync

Microsoft® Office 365 and Exchange ActiveSync offer basic legacy management and security capabilities on Android. Third-party enterprise mobility management (EMM) providers offer more advanced features.

Note: If your organization uses Intune, follow the instructions for setting up Android with a third-party EMM provider.

Set up basic security with Exchange ActiveSync

In Exchange Server, you can create mobile device mailbox policies to apply a common set of policies or security settings to a collection of users. The same feature is available for Microsoft® Office 365 customers.

After setting up the server policy you can ask your users to follow the instructions to set up their Android devices with a Microsoft® Office 365 or Exchange ActiveSync account.

Use a third-party enterprise mobility management (EMM) provider

If your organization requires more than the basic security features built into Microsoft® Office 365 and Exchange ActiveSync, you can use a third-party EMM provider to manage your Android devices. See Sign up for Android management using managed Google domains for more information on setting up Android management with a third-party EMM provider.

Browse the Enterprise Solutions Directory to find the right third-party EMM provider for your organization. Android Enterprise Recommended providers meet an advanced set of enterprise requirements.
