HP iPaq 6315 Pocket PC

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.exchange.mobility,microsoft.public.pocketpc,microsoft.public.pocketpc.wireless (More info?)

I will have to help support the iPaq 6315 from TMobile and integrate it into
our Exchange 2003 native environment.

Some brief questions I hope you all can help me answer...I know some may
overlap.

(1) What are the high-level steps required to get email from user@xyz.com
to the PDA? For example, I do not want to have a PC or server to constantly
be on to do this, is there an alternative?

(2) How do I sync my Outlook 2003 with my HP iPAQ 6315 - same as #1?

(3) Are the emails PUSHED to the PDA or does the PDA require a PULL?
Basically, how is sync initiated - automated or manual process and how?

(4) Will I need a dedicated PC / Server with special software to receive
REAL-TIME emails? Or will it require to pull the up-dates?

(5) Do I need to go to the TMobile.com web site to setup anything for any
sync of PDA and XYZ Company Exchange 2003 Server to occur?



Thank you for your assistance.

Okay, I am not claiming to be any good at this, but I have just set
upsynchronisation between Exchange 2003 on SBS2003 and an iPAQ of
somedescription running PocketPC 2002 Premium w/ Outlook 2000. It took me
agesand I was pulling my hair out over it, so let me walk you through
theproblems I had in very simple steps: Firstly I had an error internet_55
and something about certificates. This appears to be because Microsoft
(bless them!) only installed ahandful of Digital Certificates in PocketPC
2002 (the ones made byVerisign etc.) My SBS server had it's own Self-signed
Certificate that ismade when you run the 'Configure E-mail and Internet
Connection' Wizard(which can be found at 'Start\Administrative Tools\Server
Management',then selecting 'To Do List', then 'Connect to the Internet' on
your SBSserver) This certificate is saved as
'C:\ClientApps\SBScert\SBSCert.cer' on yourSBS server. You need to get this
to the PC that your iPAQ (or equivalent)connects to via its cradle. You can
do this by sharing the 'ClientApps'directory, then copying it from the
server to your desktop PC (the oneattatched to the iPAQ.) I then double
clicked the certificate and installed it on my desktop PC,overriding the
default install path in favour of 'Trusted RootCertification Authority'. You
then need to get this certificate to youriPAQ. Unforunately, you can't just
copy this certificate across becauseiPAQs compress files automatically when
they receive them and this seemsto break certificates. You need to export
the certificate in the properformat for the iPAQ to read before you can copy
it across. To do this, you need to download a program from microsoft
calledaddRootCert.exe, which can be investigated and downloaded from
MSKB322956at
http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] 56Download and
install this on your desktop PC, then run UserCerts.msc thatwill be
unpacked. Go to 'Certificates - Current User\Trusted RootCertification
Authority\Certificates' and right click on your certificate.(It won't be
called SBSCert any more - it will reflect the name of yourSBS server. It may
take some searching, but it should look familiar whenyou find it.) Once
you've right clicked on your certificate, go to 'AllTasks\Export' and it
will launch a wizard for you. Click 'Next', then makesure that 'DER encoded
binary X.509 (.CER)' is selected (this is the sortthat iPAQs can read.)
Click 'Next', then enter a name for the file (itdoesn't matter what, but it
might be a good idea to use the name of yourserver, for future reference.)
Click 'Next' then 'Finish' and you'll haveyou certificate ready to send to
your iPAQ waiting in your 'addRootCert'directory that you made earlier. Now
to get it across! Put the iPAQ in it's cradle and open ActiveSync onyour
desktop PC. When it's done spitting errors, click on 'Explore' in
theActiveSync window and drag the certificate file across. Then on your
iPAQ,goto 'Start\Programs\File Explorer' and you should see the
certificategrinning up at you. Double click on it and install it.Now that
got me passed internet_55. Whew! To my mind, that ought to be enough,
but sadly I was only a third of theway there at this stage. Next I had an
error HTTP_403 which was somethingabout not having permission to access the
server. To fix this, Idemolished the security settings. Obviously not a
long-term solution, butit got the Sync up an running. I'll post again if I
can iron it out a bitbetter. On the SBS server, I went to 'Start\All
Programs\Administrative Tools\Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager'.
Then go to 'LocalComputer\Web Sites\Defualt Web Site' Then right-click on
'exchange-oma'and choose 'Properties' then the 'Directory Security' tab,
then 'Edit' the'IP adress and domain name restrictions'. Set 'By default,
all computerswill be' to 'Granted Access', then hit 'OK' and then 'OK'.
Still in the IIS manager, you need to do exactly the same
for'Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync', open the properties, goto
'directorysecurity' and select 'Granted Access'. These are the 'Exchange
VirtualDirectories' that other explanations mention, and if you can't see
them Ithink you'll have to reconfigure/reinstall Exchange. I'd imagine
there'llbe a checkbox somewhere in the install proceedure to include them,
butother than that I'm not any help on the subject. Now, you need to restart
IIS for these changes to take effect. This is areal pain because it means
that your internet access will go down,potentially losing information that
people are working on. So make surenobody else on the network is doing
anything critical!! Goto 'Start\All Programs\Administrative Tools\Services'.
Right click on'Microsoft Exchange System Attendant' and choose 'Stop'. It
will warn youabout stopping 'Microsoft Exchange Information Store', don't
worry aboutthis - we'll restart it later. Click 'yes' and let it do it's
business.Now right click 'IIS Admin Service' and choose 'Restart'. This will
warnyou about 4ish other services that will also restart, click 'yes'.
Oncethese are up and running again, start 'Microsoft Exchange
SystemAttendant', then start 'Microsoft Exchange Information Store'. Just to
clarify the order here: STOP 'Microsoft Exchange System Attendant'RESTART
'IIS Admin Service'START 'Microsoft Exchange System Attendant'START
'Microsoft Exchange Information Store' And that was the end of HTTP_403
After that monstrosity, I now had error HTTP_500 to contend with.Apparently
the culprit here was something called 'Windows IntegratedAuthentication'. To
fix this, I had to repeat most of the steps forHTTP_403. Call up the 'IIS
Manager' and view the 'Properties' on'Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync' (this is
all explained above). Goto'Directory Security' and 'Edit' the 'Authenication
and Access Control'(slightly different this time!) Put a tick in the
checkbox marked 'WindowsIntegrated Authentication' and 'OK' everything.
Restart the 'SystemAttendant' and 'IIS' as described above, and that was the
end of HTTP_500! It worked after that! Obviously, this methodology gets it
working, but at the expense ofsecurity and may not be appropriate for
everyone. I just found the wholeprocess extremely frustrating and wished
that there had been an idiot'sguide somewhere. Hope this helps folks,
