Would it be possible to create a background process that would block
ActiveSync? This background process would display a password entry
dialog and, upon successful password entry, stop blocking ActiveSync
for the duration of the session.

If this is possible, how would one get the process to start on reset
before ActiveSync and block it?

Thanks for any ideas!

Activesync needs the device password before it can sync. I guess (not sure)
you can enforce this password to be entered every time though the group policy...

I have no clue if you can block activesyc any other way.

You want the password entry on the device or the PC? It would be a total
hack, but you could have a process that kills the ActiveSync process and
makes sure it's always dead, then when the user wants to launch it they
would enter the password and it would start.

I want to do it on the device. Doing it on the PC would not buy me any
security.

What you described is exactly what I want to try.
