is it just me or is OMA a pain in the a_hole
I have Exchange 2003 SP2 setup as a backend / frontend OWA/OMA setup.
ActiveSync enabled but for the life of me I can't get it working remotely over GPRS internet on my PDA- windows mobile 2003 o2 xdaii mini.
I can access OWA and OMA fine from a laptop for testing but whenever i use activesync my PDA packs a spack and locks up or gives me loads of different errors depending on what i set as the server address.
I have set everythign up as per MS documentation and installed SSL. No mucking around with settings and virtual directories etc. all default.
OWA is accessible by https://outlook.mydomain.com because i put a redirect on the default page to go to outlook.mydomain.com/excha nge and OMA is https://outlook.mydomain.com/oma.
I have tried using the following server addresses in my activesync config to no avail...
https://outlook.mydomain.com
https://ouitlool.mydomain.com/oma
https://outlook.mydomain.com/oma/sync
outlook.mydomain.com
outlook.mydomain.com/oma
outlook.mydomain.com/oma/s ync
i have even tried using certchk to disable certificate checking.
God damn! Why is it such a pain to get working!!!!

never mind it has just magically started working now, thanks anyway.
For anyone elses reference just use outlook.mydomain.com style address (no https prefix) for servername.
How do i get my "push" technology to work, i need a text address in the format xxxxxx@domain.com right?
Where do i get those details from? my telco?

Push technology requires an update for the device. If you have the update you will see an option for "As items arrive" when you look at the sync schedule in Active Sync.
Depending on the device you may also have an option to enable push in a connection manager.
