Comments on: Windows Phone 7 and Exchange ActiveSync http://mobilitydojo.net/2010/03/20/windows-phone-7-and-exchange-activesync/ place of the mobility way Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:22:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Andreas http://mobilitydojo.net/2010/03/20/windows-phone-7-and-exchange-activesync/comment-page-1/#comment-17569 Andreas Fri, 14 Jan 2011 08:05:56 +0000 http://mobilitydojo.net/?p=1012#comment-17569 Someone has put a lot of effort into the Wikipedia article, and it's probably correct on most of the points. What is unclear to me is whether the settings detailed have actually been tested or if it's just copied from another documentation source. I always test the things I document on this site, and you can usually be sure I'm not just assuming things to work a certain way (unless I specifically state that I for some reason have not tested it). Since this article was based on a beta build I have updated some of my findings, (in a new article linked above), when I got an actual device runnning RTM to test with. So even if this article indicates that WP7 will support encryption this isn't actually the case. One incorrect detail I see in the Wikipedia article is the support for disabling attachment download which my tests indicate is supported. Are there any specific contradictory details between my article and Wikipedia you had in mind?

Useful info though, and most likely relevant for those that are reading this post so thanks for the links!

I have problems accessing some sites in IE, whereas others work ok. Same with ActiveSync - I could not get it working when I used RDP to connect to the computer running the emulator. At first I could only get it to work with an internal IP for the Exchange, but after closing down and restarting the emulator a couple times it worked. Don't know why. I also found that Windows XP Mode refuses to start when the emulator is running because virtual services are already being used. So it's definitely different than the previous device emulators...
