Hi krowcznski, assuming you have activated the ActiveSync feature on you Exchange server and you enabled the Exchange Active Sync Proxy on your SMC server, you would have to do the following steps in order to enable you iOS device to receive emails via the SMC easproxy: 1. Create a new configuration profile using the iPhone Configuration Utility. 2. Define the General settings as necessary 3. Go to the section "Exchange ActiveSync" 4. Enter information / configuration as needed 5. As "Exchange ActiveSync Host" enter the external URL of your SMC server 6. As "username", you can define the variable %_USERNAME_% 7. As "emailaddress" you can define the variable %_EMAILADDRESS_% 8. Save the profile without sigining and encrpytion to your hard disk 9. Log in at the SMC webmanagement with an administrative user 10. Create a new iOS profile at "Configurations | Apple iOS | Profile" and upload the previously created mobileconfig. 11. Deploy the profile to the devices you want. Note: to make sure the variable USERNAME and EMAILADDRESS are correctly replaced it is necessary that the devices have an LDAP link to a directory user. I hope this helps. Best regards Stefan :36867
