Hi there,
Limited information available about this so hopefully someone can enlighten me!
Environment was Exchange 2010 SP2 with no rollups, unknown by IT dept some users had configured 'SMS Sync' within the ActiveSync setup on their mobile phone. They were happily receiving and sending messages with Outlook 2013. Until now I didn't even know this functionality existed (if I had I would be using it!).
Anyway recently we updated the servers to 2010 SP3 Rollup 11. I'm not 100% sure but it would appear since then that the users cannot longer send a text from Outlook but can still receive them. I read somewhere that the functionality was dropped in Outlook 2013, but that doesn't make sense as surely this is server side technology using ActiveSync to communicate with the phone?? Also one of our users swears that it was working fine not long ago and nothing has changed on the client / phone side of things. I looked on my Windows 8.1 phone and there is no option there to sync SMS.
Question:
Can someone confirm that this has been removed server side by the SP3 and rollup installation?
With this functionality missing from my Windows phone, I assume it is being phased out but cannot find any definitive answer, can anyone confirm?
Thanks,
Simon
