Business › Microsoft Exchange Plans › Exchange 2003 SP2 Features

With Microsoft’s most recent update to Exchange 2003, called Service Pack 2 or SP2, there are a number of enhancements and new features which are especially useful for mobile users with Pocket PCs or Windows Mobile Devices. These features extend Exchange’s functionality beyond what was previously available, and provide features that you may find you can no longer live without.

Although these features are available with most of our Exchange offerings, there are both minimum device requirements and in some cases, plan requirements to be able to utilize the features.

For all features, you’ll need a PDA or Pocket PC with Windows Mobile 5.0, or Windows Mobile 5.0 with the Adaptation Kit Upgrade 2 (AKU2). AKU2 is a collection of enhancements, new applications and updates created by Microsoft to improve the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system. AKU2 includes the Microsoft Security and Feature Pack (MSFP) which includes the Direct Push Email feature.

If your device has not yet been upgraded to AKU2, please contact your service provider or hardware vendor to determine the availability of this upgrade on your device. It is up to your service provider or hardware vendor to support the features included in AKU2. Further, an appropriate Data plan is required in order to take advantage of the Wireless or Mobile capability of these features.
