I now sync OTA to our Exchange server but it forced a security policy on my phone to auto lock after 1 hour and I cannot disable this now.

I dont think so. You may have to talk to your IT guy.
I run an exchange server, talk to your IT guy, you cannot bypass the policy from the phone.

"0" is locked
"1" will unlock....no more greyed out!!
I'm in same boat..I keep mine locked and set at 24hrs(max) in case IT looks around to see if I'm locked up. Also in case I lose it...

Worked like a charm, thank you!
I should add that I had to use AEConfig to edit the value, found here for future reference:

yeah! Theres some crazy app out there too that will unlock it automatically for you if your IT folks push it down again...seemed a bit overkill to me!
I tried one called 'KeepAlive' but it wouldn't run on the Q.

sounds like it...my company, which has pretty high security, only forced the lock upon activation so only needed the hack once.
Sounds like the case here... It's sync'd a few times now and nothing has changed so I'm thinking I'm golden until I have to do a master reset someday again lol.
Thanks for posting this fix, I really appreciate it.
Interesting, but I don't push a policy for that, so my experience in users bypassing it is limited.
