Hi Daniel,

Thanks for posting here.

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you cannot install SBS
certificate on your PDA device. If I am off base, please feel free to let
me know.

Based on my research, if you use Windows Mobile 5.0-based device, please
use the following steps to install the certificate:

1. Download and install Regedit.NET 1.0 from below URL:

http://www.pocketgear.com/downloads.asp?product_id=17108&prodname=RegEdit.NE
T%201.0 <>

Note: The third-party product discussed is manufactured by a vendor
independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,
regarding this product's performance or reliability.

2. You need to use the above third-party tool. And set
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies: KEY 00001017 to 144

3. Copy the certificate file (*.crt) to the Pocket PC.
a. Copy the certificate file(ex: server.domain.com_Enterprise
CA<stuff>.crt) that is on the root of the Certificate Authority server's
c:\ drive onto a machine that has the active sync software on it, and
that
the Pocket PC device can establish a partnership with.
b. Connect the Pocket PC device to the machine, and establish a Guest
Partnership.
c. Go into My Computer, on the machine, and open "Mobile Device".
d. Copy the certificate file into this directory, or into a subdirectory
of
your choosing (i.e. Business, Personal, Templates, or any folder that you
want to create).

Note: When you try to copy the file over, for the first time, you will
get
the following message. Click on the OK button.

Microsoft ActiveSync may need to convert files when synchronizing between
your mobile device and this desktop computer.

Note: A converted file might not contain all information found in the
original file.

4. Install the certificate file.
a. On your Pocket PC device, go into the folder (ex: Program
Files\addrootcert) where you copied the program (addrootcert) to.
b. Go into the Armel directory.
c. Click on the AddRootCert file.
d. Go to File - Open.
e. For the "Folder:" field, choose the folder that you put the
certificate
file (.crt) file under.
f. For the "Type:" field, choose the "All Files (*.*)" option.
g. Click on the certificate file(.crt) file that you copied onto the
Pocket
PC device.
h. Click on the "Install Certificate" button.

Note: You should get a pop-up that says "Certificate added".

i. Click on the OK button.

Note: You should, now, see the added certificate as a root certificate on
the
Pocket PC device (Start - Settings - System tab - Certificates - Root
tab).

I hope the above information helps.

Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Steven Zhu
