Smart phone to connect to Exchange 2003

[JayIT]

I have an Exchange 2003 server (no front end) and one smart phone, and all I want is to be able to have than smart phone to connect to the server, send and receive emails, sync calendar and contacts.

I spent two days trying different step by steps that I found online and none worked…

If someone out there can send me to a link to … another… step by step for dummies (apparently that’s what I need) , it would be great. If you need any more info, just drop me a line.

Thanks

Daniel Petri is always good for step by step on Exchange

What type of smart phone? Windows Mobile, Palm, Blackberry, IPHONE?

Here are two links that should help.

On the Petri article, DO NOT do the part that talks about a Back-End server. This will cause some unnecassary headaches. I have used this article multiple times leaving that step out and all works fine.

You will be good following the two links I provided. You will also need to buy a SSL cert from Verisign or Godaddy, etc. Or you can do the self-assigned but that is more administrative overhead as you have to install the cert on your mobile device.
