My Digital Life

Does anyone else have the problem of their iPhone not always syncing changes between itself and Exchange? 

I’ve noticed that the mailbox on my iPhone doesn’t always pick up on changes that I might make on my Outlook client or Webmail.  So for example at the moment my iPhone is showing 10 new meeting invitations that I have already accepted and replied to.  I’ve also just had to re-read 14 emails to stop them being highlighted as unread.

It seems an odd problem to me… but a few people here have found the same.  I thought I would see if anyone else had noticed this (it could be our instance of exchange?)

Apple have just released the new configuration utilities for the new iPhones.  As I covered a few weeks ago, these will allow enterprises to develop specific configuration files for iPhones within their infrastructures.  It’s a very welcome move, like many businesses I’ve certainly seen a number of business requests for iPhones and the prospect of managing another platform could have been quite daunting.

iPhone Web Configuration Utility for Mac
iPhone Web Configuration Utility for Windows
iPhone Configuration Utility 1.0 Mac OS X

Each of these tools will allow you to create xml configuration files that can be either emailed to the devices or opened from the web browser.  The Configuration Utility 1.0 however can also track and install provisioning profiles and authorized applications, and capture device information including console logs.
