Re: Certificate Services and Synching with Exchange

Hi,
A self signed cert will work if you want to use that. However you will have
to install it on every device. If you purchase a public cert it will work
without this requirement.

See http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/digi...rtificates.htm for other
issues related to using digital certificates.
