Connecting mobile devices to an Exchange Mobile Device Server

Before connecting any mobile devices, you must configure Microsoft Exchange Server in order to allow the devices to be connected using ActiveSync protocol.

To connect a mobile device to an Exchange Mobile Device Server, the user connects to his or her Microsoft Exchange mailbox from the mobile device through ActiveSync. When connecting, the user must specify the connection settings in the ActiveSync client, such as email address and email password.

The user's mobile device, connected to the Microsoft Exchange server, is displayed in the Mobile devices subfolder contained in the Mobile Device Management folder in the console tree.

After the Exchange ActiveSync mobile device is connected to an Exchange Mobile Device Server, the administrator can manage the connected Exchange ActiveSync mobile device.
