Synchronize with Exchange Server
System requirements: Windows
Description:
These instructions provide information on how to synchronize the mobile device with the UTA Exchange Server. This document assumes outlook is disabled on the mobile device. The Office of Information Technology (OIT) provides minimum support for Windows Mobile 5.0 or greater devices. Devices with platforms less than Windows Mobile 5.0 are not supported. OIT does not guarantee these instructions will always work as advertised, and cannot be held responsible for devices we do not support. In our example, we used a PDA running Windows Mobile 5.1.
How to Use:
