Because corporate network configurations and security policies vary, the deployment process will vary for each mobile messaging system installation. This deployment process includes the required steps and the recommended steps for deploying a mobile messaging solution that uses Exchange Server 2003 SP2 and Windows Mobile 5.0–based devices.
Note:
The following steps outline the process for setting up a mobile messaging solution with ISA Server 2006 in a workgroup in a perimeter network, with LDAP authentication. For more information on alternative network configurations, see Network Architecture Alternatives in this document.
The process can be accomplished in the following eight steps:
Step 1: Upgrade Front-End Server to Exchange Server 2003 SP2
Step 2: Update All Servers with Security Patches
Step 3: Protect Communications with Mobile Devices
Step 4: Protect Communications Between the Exchange Server and Other Servers
Step 5: Install and Configure ISA Server 2006 or Other Firewall
Step 6: Configure Mobile Device Access on the Exchange Server
Step 7: Install the Exchange ActiveSync Mobile Administration Web Tool
Step 8: Manage and Configure Mobile Devices
