Mobile Access
| Q. | How are files synchronized if the My Documents folder on laptop client computers is redirected to a shared folder on the network? |
| A. | In order for the files to be synchronized, the laptop must be connected to the domain. If the laptop is not connected to the domain, a notification appears in the system tray announcing that the server cannot be contacted. In that case, updated files are stored on the local hard disk drive. The next time the laptop is connected to the domain, the files on the laptop and the server are synchronized. If you connect to the network over a slow connection, such as a dial-up, the files are not synchronized. |
| Q. | Can I use my old mobile phone to read my e-mail that is stored by Windows Small Business Server 2003? |

Users can send and receive e-mail, and manage contacts and calendar items as if they were sitting at their desktop computer. |
