How to Configure the Exchange ActiveSync Up-to-Date Notifications Feature

After you configure your organization to use Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync, you can configure your Exchange Server 2003 servers so that users can receive up-to-date notifications to keep their devices current with the changes that occur when a new item arrives in their Exchange mailbox. This notification prompts the user's device to synchronize the device with the Exchange mailbox automatically.

Procedure

To configure the Exchange ActiveSync up-to-date notifications feature

1. Ensure that Exchange is configured to support the always up-to-date notification feature. For detailed steps, see the following procedures:

   • How to Enable and Disable Exchange ActiveSync Features at the Organizational Level.

   • "How to Enable and Disable Up-to-Date Notifications at the User Level" in the Exchange Server 2003 Client Access Guide.

2. Configure any mobile carriers that you need to support your deployment. For detailed steps, see "How to Configure a Mobile Carrier When Using Up-to-Date Notifications" in the Exchange Server 2003 Client Access Guide.
