It seems by default Windows Phones ActiveSync clients can access SharePoint links from emails. This is great, but how can I also get it working from calendar appointments and non-windows phones?

Hi techophil,

I recommend you refer to the following article, it may give your some hints:

Configure Exchange ActiveSync to Access Windows SharePoint Services Sites and Windows File Shares

You can use the EMC or the Shell to manage the list of Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services sites and Windows file shares that Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync users can access from their mobile phones.

Best regards,

Hi

I saw that one and it seems to be on 2010. I cannot see ActiveSync configuration in ECP, so I guess it is shell configuration only.

In the shell I seem to be able to use -RemoteDocuments...  with Set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory , but not with Get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory. How can I see if there is anything already set in 2013?

The issue I am investigating is, our Windows Phones can access SharePoint files through links in emails, but not through links in calendar appointments. iPhones and Android phones cannot access any files.

Looking back at an old Exchange 2010 Server, ActiveSync has not been configured with any Allow, or Block Servers and default behaviour for unknown Servers is "Allow"

Hi,

In Exchange 2013, you can use the following cmdlet to get the configuration of accessing to Windows SharePoint Services sites and Windows file shares.

Get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory |fl name,server,RemoteDocuments*

Hope this can be helpful to you.

Best regards,

Hi

Thanks for that. When I run that command all the fields are blank except for UnknownServers which is "Allow"

RemoteDocumentsActionForUnknownServers  : Allow
RemoteDocumentsAllowedServers           : {}
RemoteDocumentsBlockedServers           : {}
RemoteDocumentsInternalDomainSuffixList : {}

This seems to be the default setting as I have never set anything.

Do you think this is why our users can use SharePoint links in emails but not Calendar appointments? Would setting all the options help?

Would it also help non-Windows phones use SharePoint links?
