Difficulty: EasyMobile Device Synchronization and Cloud Integration

A user requires real-time, two-way synchronization of email, contact lists, and calendar entries between a corporate smartphone and an mail server. Which protocol or service should an IT technician configure on the mobile device?

  1. Exchange ActiveSyncAnswer
  2. B
    Post Office Protocol v3 (POP3)
  3. C
    International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) profile
  4. D
    Mobile Application Management (MAM) security policy

Answer

Exchange ActiveSync provides comprehensive two-way synchronization for email, contacts, and calendar data.
Exchange ActiveSync is an enterprise protocol engineered to provide native two-way synchronization of mail, contacts, and calendar records between mobile clients and messaging servers.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the synchronization requirements
The scenario demands continuous two-way synchronization covering email, contacts, and calendars.
Standard mail protocols vary in their ability to handle multi-data type sync across endpoints.
2
Select the appropriate synchronization protocol
Exchange ActiveSync is selected because it handles all three requested data types with full two-way updating.
POP3 only handles single-device email downloading, IMSI manages cellular provisioning, and MAM enforces application security policies.
