    Thank's for the guide, really usefull! We want to see more like this ;-) Just one question. When I use the Blocked signatures in ActiveSync HTTP-Filter, Nokia Phones can't download attachments anymore. When I look at the log on TMG it shows that they request the file with a "%" in the path. I guess that's the problem. Can you explain shortly, WHY you block certain signatures? I have a few customers, that have issues with their Nokia phones. Good part ist, that ActiveSync is not officially supported in our environment so I am very flexible ;-) THX!

    Could someone also publish these settings for:
    Exchange 2010
    Exchange 2013
    for OWA, Outlook Anywhere, ActiveSync and AutoDiscovery

    I've searched for hours but cannot find anything new regarding these Exchange versions.
