Thank you for such a detailed answer.

Before we proceed I would like to ask you if what we used constitutes
a reasonable self generated certificate.

When we run CEICW we use the domain name ofthe company:

companydomain.com.au
or
mail.companydomain.com.au

Is this what we should use?

You should use whatever name matches the A record already set up (generally
the same one you use in your MX record), such as mail.yourdomain.com.

Your help is appreciated.

Basics -
You need E2003 SP2
Run the CEICW and make sure Outlook mobile access is enabled from the
internet
If you don't have a trusted third party SSL certificate installed in
SBS (as in, you created your own using the CEICW), you'll need to
export it to a file & then copy it to the device using ActiveSync
(see below)
On the device, you'll configure it to connect to the Exchange server
using the same FQDN you use for OWA - and your login/pw.

Configure a Self-Signed Certificate
This section tells you how to export and install the self-signed
certificate that is created by Windows SBS onto a mobile device. For
multiple mobile devices, you need to install the certificate on each
device. The certificate is already installed on the server that is
running Windows SBS, so you do not need to configure the server.

Perform the following steps to install the certificate on a mobile
device:

1.
Create a shared folder in which to store the certificate.

2.
Export the certificate to the shared folder so the mobile
devices can access it.

3.
Install the certificate on the Windows Mobile device.


To create a shared folder in which to store the certificate file
1.
On the server, open Windows Explorer.

2.
Select the root drive or folder in which you want to create the
new shared folder.

3.
Click File, point to New, and then click Folder.

4.
Rename the new folder to something you will remember (for
example, CertShare).

5.
Right-click the renamed folder, and then click Sharing and
Security.

6.
Click the Sharing tab, select Share this folder, either type a
name for the shared folder or accept the default, and then click OK.


To export the certificate file to the shared folder so the mobile
devices can access it
1.
While you are still logged on to the server, open Internet
Explorer.

2.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. The
Internet Options dialog box appears.

3.
Click the Content tab, and then click the Certificates button.
The Certificates dialog box appears.

4.
Click the Trusted Root Certification Authorities tab.

5.
Scroll through the list of certificates, and then select the
certificate that was generated by Windows SBS. You can usually
identify the certificate by recognizing the IP address or domain
name in the Issued to or Issued by fields.

6.
Click Export. The Certificate Export Wizard starts.

7.
On the Welcome page, click Next.

8.
On the Export File Format page, select DER encoded binary X.509
(.CER), and then click Next.

9.
On the File to Export page, click Browse, and then open the
shared folder that you created in the previous procedure.

10.
Type a file name to identify the certificate that you are
exporting, and then click Save. The file path appears on the File to
Export page of the Certificate Export Wizard.

11.
Click Next.

12.
Review the settings for accuracy, and then click Finish.

13.
Click OK to acknowledge that you have successfully exported the
certificate.

14.
Click Close to close the Certificate dialog box.

15.
Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.


After you successfully export the certificate to the shared folder,
complete the following steps to install the certificate on a Windows
Mobile device.

To install the certificate on a Windows Mobile device
1.
Cradle the mobile device to your client computer.

2.
On the client computer, open Windows Explorer, and then open
the shared folder that you created on the server.

3.
Copy the certificate file from the shared folder, and then
paste it into the Mobile Device node in Windows Explorer on the
client computer. This places the certificate in the My Documents
folder on the Windows Mobile device.

4.
On the Windows Mobile device, open File Explorer (for Pocket
PCs) or File Manager (for Smartphones).

To open File Explorer, click Start, and then click Programs.
To open File Manager, click Start, and then click More.

5.
Find the certificate file you just copied to the My Documents
folder on the device, and then run the file either by tapping the
file name or by selecting the file and pressing ENTER.

6.
Click Yes on the confirmation message box to install the
certificate. If you receive no error messages, the certificate is
installed successfully.
