I've just bought a Windows Mobile device and want to setup the push email part to pick up email from our Small Business Server 2003 setup with Exchange Server. However, I get an error that says the security certificate is not valid on the server. This is probably due to my previous tinkering a while back to enable my old Nokia E61 Symbian phone to pick up email from the server.
Does anybody know how I go about deleting and creating a new cert on the server??

If so that may ask you to accept the certificate and force it's installation and/or acceptance.
Must confess I haven't done one for a while. All my clients, against my wishes, have switched to Blackberries and Blackberry servers. Not nearly as many features, but they like the one handed easy e-mail access.
I have used a self Cert from my SBS on my Device, installed with no "hacks" or tricks, just copied it to the device (MW6) clicked it and installed it. After that push email worked just fine, Create a new Cert with the ICW, and find the new Cert in the Clientapps folder under sbscert, install it on your device, setup the Sync using SSL and you should be good to go.

Most mobile devices will not accept an SBS certificate by default, for security reasons, as it is not one from a trusted certificate source. There are dozens of 'hacks' that allow you to install the SBS certificate, but they are different for every brand of phone/pda, and in some cases different for various models.
The easiest way to resolve this is to buy a certificate from a recognized source such as www.rapidssl.com or www.godaddy.com. The first is my preference due to the detailed instructions available, but the latter is a little cheaper.
Using these certificates, your phone will automatically accept the cert.
