Win8: Security: Device wipe and device lock behavior across operating system versions and devices
Device wipe (also known as "remote wipe") is an Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) directive in which a user or administrator triggers a wipe of a device. Specifically, a user goes to Outlook Web App and then triggers the device wipe behavior, or a Microsoft Exchange administrator invokes device wipe.
Remote device wipe may be triggered when a standard user account uses OWA or when an administrator uses the Exchange administrator tools. The following screen shot shows the device wipe UI in Outlook Web App for a Windows Mobile phone. The UI is triggered by clicking the "device wipe" button (highlighted in red).
The following table shows the behavior of a mail app when the app receives a device wipe directive from a server.

Q: If an ActiveSync Remote Wipe is initiated against a Windows 8 or Windows RT device via the built-in Mail application, what’s deleted?
A: A Remote Wipe is the process where a device is selected from a central Microsoft Exchange or management console and chosen to be wiped, for example if the device has been lost by the owner. The Remote Wipe command is then sent to the device via ActiveSync.
For a device such as a Windows Phone, all data is deleted, including email, contacts, calendar for all accounts and other data on the device such as documents and picture.
However, when ActiveSync Remote Wipe is performed against a Windows 8 or Windows RT device, the scope of the wipe is more limited. Only the email, contacts, and calendar for information stored in the built-in Mail applicationare deleted. Other data on the system is not deleted, including information from the Microsoft Office Outlook client.
