Direct Push is just a heartbeat away

I am having an issue with this working on a 2003 R2 SBS. Everything seems to be setup correctly, but no one in the company can sync. I've went through all of these troubleshooting steps (which were very helpful) and haven't come up with anything. One thing I have noticed is that I can't access the AutdState (or Autd-State).xml file from the server.

I have had one successful activesync documented and the IIS logs showed the GET requests at the documented time, but why this one time, and not all of the time. The IIS logs had the successful GET commands in this format: GET /exchange-oma/user/-FlatUrlSpace-/

All devices say that they are sychronized, but receive no data. They connect and go through the motions of ActiveSync, but the devices do not update with the data. Any ideas?

Great article! But can anyone help me with this... Have an O2 XDA mini, certificates are all installed and I can manually make a connection to sync with my Exchange server (sp2) via GPRS. The mobile device has in Activesync "sync during: As items arrive".

However is there a way to monitor what is initiating the connection?

I'm not convinced the push is working... i.e. I sent an email to my mailbox from an external webmail account, 3 minutes later my device made a gprs connection and retreived he email. I then de-activated my gprs connection and waited... basically every 3 minutes the xda connects via gprs wether or not there is any new mail in my work mailbox. So push can't be doing its thing... can it? Any help on what else I can check would be very welcome! Alasdair.

Comment regarding port 2883. Should registry value UDPListenPort under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MasSync\Parameters be there or must I add this value. Do I have to add the value must it be a DWORD value and must the value be set to 1 or 2883.

When I use regedit on my FE there are no values under registry value UDPListenPort under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MasSync\Parameters. Is that normal ?

Microsoft hasn't consumed anything.

We are planning to give WM5.0 powered divices with latest ROM update (with MSFP) to our sales staff, but have a question.
When we send an email from the PDA, does the push email sends sent mail to the server ?
Does the send mail show up in send items folder in our Outlook mail on our desktop even though it is sent from the PDA ?

Regards,
Venkat

Great stuff this article.
Only one questions which i read before but didn't saw an answer.
Does the Direct Push leads to higher costs?
Based on a average updates what are the addiotional costs using the feature?
I decided not to us my pull-email option via GPRS anymore because i had a signifcant increase in my monthly telephone costs.

Thanks for any reply!

When we create a Mailbox for a New User ActiveSync (User Initiated Sync) is Enabled by Default ? Is there a way where we can Disable this by default and enable on a per user basis to control which users can user ActiveSync

Thank you for your artical, it clarified a few things (WiFi), but we got this all working anyway on our O2 XDA exec's no problem. We've been waiting for this feature, it seems that Microsoft have now consumed the niche that RIM held and have a broad platform with significant momentum to bring many benifits.
