When you connect Mail app to an account using EAS, security policies from the Exchange server are applied to Windows 8.1. I know that these can be reset by going to Control Panel -> User Accounts and then clicking on the "Reset Security Policies" option.

However, I would like to see which policies are being applied by the Exchange server, but I can't find where Windows 8.1 is storing the policy settings.  Are they in the registry?  Can I see them in the GPEDIT local policies?

For example, our Exchange server sets the "Max inactivity time lock" to 15 minutes.  I would like to be able to see exactly which Windows setting is storing this value and enforcing it.

I've verified that it's overriding settings already in place that are stored in:

Computer Config - > Windows Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options.
or
Computer Config - > Admin Templates -> Control Panel -> Personalization
or
User Config -> Admin Templates -> Control Panel -> Personalization

Does anyone have idea where I might be able to view these policies in Windows 8.1?

Hi,

Hope this would be clear.
