Thanks Dave. That's very interesting. I'll do some search on Magneto.

The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant is on track to freeze the Windows Mobile 2005 ROM code in April and provide new technology in Exchange 2003 Server Pack 2 that will push e-mail out to mobile workers who use Pocket PCs and smartphones. Sources told CRN that Microsoft will unveil its Magneto plan at the Mobile and Embedded Developers Conference 2005 next month in Las Vegas. --------- Definitely I am gonna be there LV 9-12May2005. BTW most of the Pocket pc mobile 2003 phones you will be to upgrade to Magneto.

Its really great. I've rolled this out for serveral people and they really like it a lot too, especially with their Windows Mobile 2003 enabled SmartPhones. Some of the phones are very nice, such as this one that I'll get if I ever win the lottery :-) http://communications.siemens.com/cds/frontdoor/0,2241,us_en_0_76051_rAr NrNrNrN,00.html Making it work is very easy. I have a Windows Mobile Kit that I comissioned an Exchange expert to help me with for the Exchange/Windows Mobile part , but I've never got around to posting it on ISAserver.org. Maybe I'll just post the Word docs on my site if anyone is interested (it takes forever sometimes to get the articles properly formatted for the ISAserver.org Web site). Also, with the SmartPhones, you can use either the 802.11 connection or GSM to connect to the ActiveSync and OMA sites. Publishing the sites using the ISA firewall is extremely simple, although you will need two IP addresses on the external interface of the ISA firewall to make it work, since you can't use the same listener you use for OWA publishing if you want to use the ISA firewall's forms-based auth for the OWA Web Publishing Rule. Well, sort of, you can use the Kai Wilke method at http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/2004pubowamobile.html If you're well-versed on PKI and how certificate auth works with ISA, its actually quite simple to do. If you're not, run through the article in your test lab first. The procedure is solves the problem of having a single IP address for RPC/HTTP as well. However, if you're running a business, then you probably have a block of public addresses. HTH, Tom This mail was checked for viruses by GFI MailSecurity.
