ActiveSync on Exchange sp2

Villain

So has anyone setup acivesync on exchange with sp2 so mobile devices can receive mail and calendar updates on the move?

If so was it difficult, does anyone have any good articles which go through the setup?

Thanks.

actually pretty easy its enabled by default on most exchange servers the only problem is you need port 80 access from the internet fixed ip helps (or dyndns), the only problems i've seen is https access seems well flakey on the pda not recogmising certs and stuff ive got guys with pda execs connecting in quite happily over gprs and wireless

I did, just last week for a customer, Its called Push Mail and basically with SP2 its enabled by default.

port 80 and 443 are needed alright. the cert issue can be a bit of a paint but once you import the CA to the root authorities you should be ok. we have our own CA on our lan that we used (it's just the pdc with CA installed on it)

I have the step by step from O2 (which i used) pm me if you want me to forward it.
