Understanding ActiveSync for Exchange 2003 with Android phones?
First off, I've really appreciated everyone's assistance. I'm almost ready to swap the circuit used by OWA, but had one more question.
This is what I understand or think I understand to date: We have a dedicated IP used for OWA so no critical staff an check e-mail from their home PC or while away. From what I understand this only uses port 443 and 80 by default. We have a BES with another data circuit, but as i understand the BES communicates directly to RIM then RIM to the BlackBerries via the BES data circuit and not through Exchange OWA circuit. The BlackBerries never go in/out of the OWA circuit.
What I don't understand: We have a few Android phones using the native e-mail client to send/receive e-mail and calendar updates. To setup them up i pointed them to OWA then authenticated. If I delete e-mail or calendar entries on my phone they propagate to my Outlook Client on the PC. How can I determine if the Android phones are using ActiveSysnc?
If I am using ActiveSync then I need to make sure all the posted listed at the link below are opened on my firewall. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259369

Port 443 was enough. On my phone, all I had to do was enable SSL. Previously I was using port 80. I know I'm only using port 443, because this is the only port i'm forwarding on my router. I think you all for your patience.
