Exchange Activesync
|
From: jdc on 19 Feb 2010 16:42 I am really beginning to feel stupid. I have SBS2003 with ISA2004. Everything is fine. I have loaded Blackberry Professional Server and am happily running with 6 Blckberry's syncing wirelessly. When it comes to Activesync thoguh, I CANNOT figure out how to start, where to to find management tools, how to setup or manage windows smartphones, Iphones, Droids, Treos. I have read so many articles but CANNOT find ONE that simply walks me through setting it up or even how to launch a management console, if one exists. I am happy to learn technical things, although I am somewhat of an IT novice, but is there someone out there who can give some step by steps to bridge the gap between the BPS that I am familiar with, and using activesync. Several people who have phone's have been waiting a week on me and I am losing their patience i am afraid. Thanks

If ya talking about getting active-sync to work (over the internet) on Windows Mobile devices, all you need is Exhange Server at SP2 (SP2 is the key thing here). And then in ADUC, just enable the users you want for Mobile. I assume it's all working for you, and you need the admin tools? ... If ya talking about the management tools to do stuff like remote wipe the Windows Mobile phones, you have to add this in. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=e6851d23-d145- 4dbf-a2cc-e0b4c6301453&displaylang=en And um... you need to do a custom install, as SBS has already "done stuff" to the default website - and you'll mess things up if you just install it. Basically (IIRC), you set the default website back to it's default settings - do the install - then put the SBS settings back to the default website. You should then have a 'MobileAdmin' website under the default website to navigate to. http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/duncanm4/Clipboard04.jpg I can't find the article on the custom install sorry. -- Duncan.

However, iPhones provide an option to trust the cert, unfortunately Windows Mobile phones do not. I've heard that ActiveSync on the Droids is not the best. Treos would need to be Windows based, otherwies if the Palm version, you may need to use IMAP, but that doesn't support calendaring as we know it. You may still need to setup the certs on the devices. Only way around that is to purchase a public certificate.
