With the new GAL Lookup feature included in the Messaging and Security Feature Pack, you can now lookup contacts in the Global Address List (GAL) on your corporate Exchange Server 2003 SP2 Server(s).

In the last article in this series we covered how you, with the help of properly configured device security settings, could have a device erased (similar to a local wipe) after a user entered x number of incorrect PINs or passwords.

The tool is designed for administrators who want to manage the process of remotely erasing lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised mobile devices.

In the early 2000s, a grassroots movement drove public network instant messaging (IM) into the enterprise. Informal IM-driven business networks matured, as IM joined email to become a transport for B2B and B2C business.

Free upgrades offered to Windows Mobile 5.0 users to enable Direct Push functionality.

Microsoft extended its reach into wireless push e-mail technology this week by naming four carriers and four new Windows Mobile-based smart phones and handhelds that will support its Direct Push technology.

In the announcement from the 3GSM World Conference 2006 in Barcelona, the carriers said that they will provide free upgrades to devices running Windows Mobile 5.0 with Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP) by Microsoft to enable the Direct Push functionality.

Sony Ericsson has licensed Microsoft's Exchange ActiveSync protocol, enabling secure, wireless direct synchronization between Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Sony Ericsson's P990 (pictured) and M600 phones. Both of the new phones will be available in the second quarter of 2006.

This solution will help provide mobile workers with anywhere access to their complete Exchange Server 2003 information, including e-mail, calendar and contacts. For organizations that have deployed Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2, additional mobile enhancements such as Direct Push are also supported, providing instant access to newly received e-mail messages.

Research In Motion suffered another setback today in a legal fight that could force it to stop North American sales of its popular BlackBerry wireless e-mail service.
