I just purchased a UC Certificate from Go Daddy to replace a single name
certificate from Thawte. My WM6 clients have no problem using this new
certificate, but my WM5 clients can not connect to the Exchange server. They
receive an invalid certificate error. I know that WM5 clients can not use a
wild card certificate, but I am wondering if WM5 clients can use a UC
Certificate?

As I understand it, WM5 does not support a UC certificate. You must have a
6.x device or higher.

Hi,
The UC cert is not installed by default on Windows Mobile 5.0. You can
install the cert and the clients will be able to sync.

Chris,

So the cert will work on 5.0? For some reason I thought it was only a 6.x
"feature"

Hi,
The issue is that starting with Windows Mobile 6, Microsoft installed a new
root certificate to support all GO Daddy certficates.

So a workaround for Windows Mobile 5.0 and earlier devices is to install the
cert on the device.
