Test Exchange Active Sync or Lync/skype for Business mobile client
Since the lab or POC environments on majority of times there is lack of public DNS records and 3rd party certificates on which the Active Sync client and Lync/skype for Business client has the dependency upon.
To test Microsoft Exchange Active Sync/Lync clinet in the lab there couple of ways:
1. The mail client that comes with Windows 10 uses active sync to fetch emails.
2. Android studio can be installed via which an android emulator can be created and then install any mail client of your choice and test active sync.
Download Google Android Studio from
https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
after the installation. Open up the studio and navigate to:
Tools > Android > AVD Manager
click on Create Virtual Device select the device type of your desire.
Once the device is created sign in with your google account and from the Play Store download any Active Sync client. (I used outlook app) also for testing Lync reverse proxy download Lync/skype for Business client.
Now import the certificates to the emulator which are issued from the internal CA so that the outlook and Lync app can trust the server and function.
On the Android studio navigate to Tools > Android > Android Device Monitor now select the sdcard folder
On the Right Hand top corner you will get an option to "Push a file onto the device" click on it and browse the certificate. Now the certificate will get imported to the emulator, try installing the certificate.
(in case if you couldn't get the certificate from internal CA installed in the phone in the right container, try google it there are people with tips in the community to assist)
