Exchange patch may disrupt mobile messaging
An Exchange Server patch that changes the way "Full Mailbox Access" and "Send As" permissions work can also disrupt BlackBerry, GoodLink, and other mobile messaging services. |
Why HTTP can hurt Exchange ActiveSync attachments
Exchange ActiveSync uses certain custom extensions on the HTTP protocol -- called HTTP "verb" commands -- that are sent in the context of an HTTP request to tell the server what the mobile client is trying to accomplish. If one of these "verbs" is blocked by a proxy, firewall or server-side constraint, attachment synchronization to mobile devices will fail. |
When Exchange ActiveSync won't download mailbox items to mobile devices
One of the toughest problems to troubleshoot is when Exchange ActiveSync won't download mailbox items to a portable device. This tip outlines the potential causes. |
Unicode email attachments don't work with OWA and BlackBerrys
Instead of MIME or Uuencode, some programs send Unicode message attachments -- like SQL Server 2000's SQL Mail. Unfortunately, OWA and BlackBerry mobile devices don't support email attachments in this format. |
Forms-based authentication errors with OMA and ActiveSync
You may experience several Event ID errors when using forms-based authentication with Exchange Server 2003 ActiveSync and Outlook Mobile Access. |
Mass-enabling or disabling OMA permissions
In Exchange Server 2003, Outlook Mobile Access is enabled by default for all users.

The Exchange Server ActiveSync Web Administration Tool

Now, you can use Microsoft's Exchange Server ActiveSync Web Administration Tool to perform remote mobile administration functions. |
Text messaging with Outlook 2003
Microsoft offers an add-on for Outlook 2003 that allows users to send standard Short Message Service (SMS) text messages via GSM mobile phones connected to the PC. |
