Exchange Server and Desktop Activesync Standard Partnership

A Standard Partnership is used when you wish to synchronize more than just your Inbox, Contacts and Calendar with your PDA/Smartphone device. For example, you may want to also synchronize your Favorites, Notes, Tasks and so on. To do this, you will need to install Outlook 2003 on your PC and configure Desktop Activesync. You can also configure Exchange Server Activesync at the same time, if you wish.

After installing Outlook 2003 , follow the instructions below to configure Desktop (and Server) Activesync.

 

Choose Standard Partnership in your Desktop ActiveSync application and click Next.
