logs for accessing mailbox via smartphone

Are there any default logs whoich could show if a user was accessing their corporate mailbox via their smartphone i.e active-sync? As opposed to say when logged into the network with a PC and accessing the system via outlook.

Is there an easy way to see if the logs are enabled or not? on what server in your exchange setup are these logs stored, as exchange comes with a number of roles i.e. mbx, cas etc. this is for exch2010

And what is the default location for them?

Kimputer

Usually something like C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles
It is enabled on the IIS server, you enable logging on the website, not exchange. In the screen where you enable it, you can also either find out where the default location is, or adjust it to a location you want.

Thanks I will take a look. What do the log events include, as its almost like a constant connection once you establish the link between device and mailbox... Would it jiust show the first time the sync and connection was established, or are there regular log events written dependant on mailbox usage on the phone itself?

Kimputer

As the phone is on during the day, it will show some form of activity in the log throughout the day too. It's not just the initial connection, it's much more than that.
