RE: ActiveSync & SSL

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I was looking at this, and can I simply go to IIS Manager, go to Web Sites ->
Default Web Site - > Exchange ActiveSynch -> Properties -> Directory Security
-> Secure Communications -> Edit -> click on the box 'Require Secure Channel'
..
And then do what I need to do on PCC?
Thanks!
