From: Roveer on
We've got a very small exchange system consisting of 4 email accounts
(SBS 2003). 2 of users have blackberries and we have BIS installed.
We are no looking at ipod touch's and ipads as another way to access
our email. This works great when you are on the LAN or at one of our
persistant VPN'd locations, but does not work "off the network"

I've tried to get the apple devices to VPN through our Checkpoint
VPN-1 EDGE firewalls but am not having much luck. This would be
optimal since it's secur and would place these devices on the network
and then the email application would work.

If I am not able to get this to work, do I have any other options? I
think I read a while back about enabling some other secure protocol
but when I looked at it, it wanted yet another server to stand
between. Just can't put up more equipment in such a small environment

Would love to have this capability, but can only strech so far to get
it. Ideas?

Both iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad support Exchange Activesync, you will need
a third party commercial certificate to secure communications ( I recommend
Go Daddy SSL Cert). I am providing link to install third party cert on SBS.
Once installed you can go to your iPod, iPhone and iPad; Settings-Mail,
Conacts, Calendars and choose Add Account- Microsoft Exchange.
