8.15. Enabling Support for "Unsupported" Outlook Mobile Access Devices
Problem
Some of your users have mobile devices that aren't on the list of officially supported OMA devices, but you want to use them anyway.
Solution
Using a graphical user interface
Open the Exchange System Manager (Exchange System Manager.msc).
Open the Global Settings node, right-click on Mobile Services, and select Properties.
Click the Enable unsupported devices and click OK.
Using VBScript
' ------ SCRIPT CONFIGURATION ------ strOrgName = "cn=<orgName> " ' e.g., "Robichaux and Associates" strOrgObj= strOrgName & ", cn=microsoft Exchange,cn=services,cn=configuration," &_ "dc=<domain>, dc=<TLD>" strOMAObj = "cn=Outlook Mobile Access,cn=global settings," & strOrgObj strDCName = "<serverName>" ' e.g., BATMAN ' ------ END CONFIGURATION --------- ' get the global OMA settings object Set objOrg = GetObject("LDAP://" & strDCName & "/" & strOMAObj) ' reset the flag value to zero, which enables OMA on the server and enables ' the unsupported device flag objOrg.Put "msExchOmaAdminWirelessEnable", "0" objOrg.SetInfo WScript.Echo "Enabled unsupported devices and OMA"
Discussion
OMA supports a fairly broad range of mobile devices, but they can't support every potential device. In general, phones or handhelds that implement the Openwave browser, Microsoft's Pocket Internet Explorer, or the Ericsson, Nokia, or Symbian browsers are supported.
