Setting push mail default settings for WM phones

[defenestratorNZ]

just a quick question(i hope) :)

i have to set up a whole new batch of windows mobile phones for work and was wondering if there was an easy way to set up the default settings for push mail so the user only has to ender there username and password to get it to work?

i did do a search but couldnt find what i was looking for

Thanks

Please be more specific. Are you setting up their push mail through an exchange server via a vpn?

sorry about that
we are setting up push mail via exchange
i want to pre-setup the account details without going to each phone and setting them all manually.
i figure ill have to load something on to each but id rather not have to type in the server name over and over again

You could make xml file like this:

<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Sync">
- <characteristic type="Connection">
<parm name="Server" value="EXCHANGE SERVER NAME HERE" />
<parm name="Password" value="EXCHANGE PASSWORD HERE" />
<parm name="User" value="USERNAME HERE" />
<parm name="Domain" value="EXCHANGE DOMAIN NAME HERE" />
<parm name="SavePassword" value="1" />
<parm name="UseSSL" value="1" />
<parm name="AllowSSLOption" value="1" />
<parm name="URI" value="Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync" />
</characteristic>
- <characteristic type="Settings">
<parm name="PeakStartTime" value="0800" />
<parm name="PeakEndTime" value="1600" />
<parm name="PeakFrequency" value="30" />
<parm name="OffPeakFrequency" value="120" />
- <characteristic type="PeakDays">
<parm name="Sun" value="0" />
<parm name="Mon" value="1" />
<parm name="Tue" value="1" />
<parm name="Wed" value="1" />
<parm name="Thr" value="1" />
<parm name="Fri" value="1" />
<parm name="Sat" value="0" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
- <characteristic type="Calendar">
<parm name="Enabled" value="1" />
<parm name="SyncSwitchPurge" value="3" />
</characteristic>
- <characteristic type="Contacts">
<parm name="Enabled" value="1" />
<parm name="SyncSwitchPurge" value="3" />
</characteristic>
- <characteristic type="Mail">
<parm name="Enabled" value="1" />
</characteristic>
- <characteristic type="Tasks">
<parm name="Enabled" value="1" />
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>


2) Save this as _setup.xml (The name of the file - _setup.xml is important.)

3)


Save your _setup.xml to a directory called i.e C:\ExchangeCabs\ on your computer.



Now open up a command prompt window Start>Run>cmd.



Type cd C:\ExchangeCabs in the command prompt window



Type MakeCAB.exe /D COMPRESS=OFF _setup.xml ExchangeMailSetup.cab


Now you will have an ExchangeMailSetup.cab file in your C:\ExchangeCabs directory. Then transfer the cab file to device and run the file on your device.
