Windows Mobile 6.1 - my favourite bits

jkruse — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 22:52:31 GMT

I've been playing with Windows Mobile 6.1 for the last few days, so thought I'd share some of my favourite features.

Today screen - minus Exchange E-mail/calendar (see below)

About

Exchange Auto-discover

Now there's no need to know your CAS server URL - all you need is your email address/password, and Windows Mobile will use the Exchange auto-discover service to automatically provision your device for push email/calendar/tasks/security.

Type your email address and password

Choose what you want to sync from Exchange

Done! Notice the Outlook E-Mail and calendar appointments

Task Manager

For those memory-intensive or hung apps - there is now a proper Task Manager to view/kill.

System Settings

Task Manager

Domain Enroll

Make your device an AD domain member for device management/security.

Connections screen

Similar to Auto-discover - enter your email/password

(I'm not connected to the corporate network right now hence I didn't actually enroll my device)

[UPDATE]

Threaded txt

Office Mobile

Yeah this has been there for a while, but it now supports Office 2007 file formats out-of-the-box.

Once I get the right adapter for VGA output from my phone - I'm aiming to do customer presentations from my phone :)

Exchange ActiveSync Certificate-Based Authentication Tool

jkruse — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:21:43 GMT

The Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync Certificate-Based authentication tool provides several utilities to assist an Exchange administrator in configuring and validating client certificate authentication for Exchange Server ActiveSync.

These utilities include:

A tool to assist the administrator in configuring certificate enrollment for mobile devices connecting to Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2. Specifically, the tool will help the administrator populate the Active Directory with the following information to be used by the mobile device when enrolling for a certificate:

Certification authority (CA) server name
Certificate template that will be used
Other settings, such as custom Web enrollment URLs

Because the tool writes information to the Active Directory, it must be run by someone with domain administrator privileges.

Additional tools to validate that a mobile device can successfully retrieve the above configuration information from the Active Directory.
Documentation outlining the server configuration steps necessary to enable & require certificate-based authentication for Exchange ActiveSync.

Windows Mobile 6

jkruse — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 04:14:00 GMT

Unless you've been hiding in a cave for the last few days, you've no doubt heard about Windows Mobile 6. I've been running WM6 for about a year now and am absolutely in love with it.

This great new release includes support for advanced Exchange 2007 features like mailbox Search, Out-of-office, HTML email (so when you reply to a thread it doesn't all revert to plain text!!!), end storage card encryption, as well as full Windows Live support.

Read all about it over at Jason Langridge's blog.
