Direct Push Guide

October 1st, 2006 Paul Mah Leave a comment Go to comments

I am currently working on a comprehensive guide to Microsoft’s Direct Push Technology based on my own experiences (I wanted to say struggles, but if I said that you probably wouldn’t read it anymore would you?) getting Microsoft Exchange 2003 SP2 and my HP rw6818 to talk push mail. The topics and coverage are more or less finalized. In fact, I’ve listed them below.

Hopefully, it’ll be a help to folks tearing their hair out trying to get Microsoft’s push mail up and running with their Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. The goal is to create a readable guide that gives a sufficiently technical and broad coverage of Direct Push without boring you to tears. This placeholder page will not be changed – so feel free to link here directly and come back periodically as I finish up the other sections.

1. Introduction

2. Getting it up!

3. Advanced Topics

  • Troubleshooting and diagnosis
  • Monitoring your traffic
  • Advanced traffic tuning
  • Tricks and Tips

As it is a work in progress, if you spot any fractual mistakes or errors, do feel free to feedback to me by leaving your comments on this blog or by dropping me a mail directly at paulmah (at) gmail.com. Cheers!

    I look forward to reading more about fine-tuning the “heartbeat” intervals etc.

    Also, I’d love to know how to set the schedule for manual sync vs. direct push – turning off direct push for weekends etc.

    Are those options on the phone or in Exchange Server?

    Thanks for the feedback; that was due me missing out on restoring the image files after the migration of the WordPress blog backend. This has since been rectified. Enjoy reading :)

    Hello Mr. Mah

    I really appreciate all your effort to enrich this guide.

    I just read your article “Which Uses Less Traffic: BlackBerry Push Or Microsoft Direct Push?” published last November 2006. Amazing!

    Thanks God people like you exists and we can read on mobile technologies around to have balanced and fair opinions to make decisions.

    Good luck.
