Activesync on Enterprise 2003

[Guest ASkoog66]

Years ago I dabbled with using activesync on Win2000 terminal server and was

unable to realistically use.

 

I am now having to face the monster again, only with Windows 2003 Enterprise

Server setup as an application server.

 

I currently have everybody running their Outlook on their local machines and

syncing to their Ipaq's via local USB activesync.

 

I would like to start migrating people to using Outlook 2003 on the terminal

server, but still need to be able for them (about 5 people) to be able keep

syncing with their Ipaq's on their local computers via USB.

 

I have no desire to setup up Small Business Server or an Exchange server for

our tiny organization.

 

As I recall the previous issue was with mapping a USB port to the terminal

server was problematic with multiple users. Does Microsoft have this figured

out by now?

 

Any insight would be appreciated.

For activesync in a TS session you'll need to use a com cable or

Citrix Presentation Server or USB-IT from

Activesync device redirection is not supported on Win2k3 or even Vista/WS08

 

Thanks
