This afternoon I received the Exchange Server ActiveSync (EAS) usage statistics for the month of November. Our friends at MS IT told me that our internal user base is growing: we are at about 700...

Hello Folks. Some more information please, you installation is big, mine is really small.
How do you measure that. Analysing the IIS-Logfiles with a custom tool, vbscript to extract the "POST /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync " URLS ?
Do you have some more statistical things like:
- how often/regulary are the users replicating
- ho many kilobytes are transmitted per user per replication
- how many are more "light" users and how many are more heavy users.
- where do the come from (you can check the IP-address of the remote site
and many more.
I personally use a MDA3 (german http://www.msxfaq.de/clients/mda3.htm) and it takes about 30-70kbyte per Replication for my normal usage. I replicate manually 3 times a day. unfortunaly notification is not working here in germany (sending a SMS notification is about 19 eurocent here, so its cheaper to replicate every 30 minutes or get a blackberry)
I personally (small environment) use a simple "FIND" againsts the IISLogs to extract the MobileSyncURLs and analyse the Logs with tools like analog, webalizer etc to get more informations about it.
maybe you have some statistical data for us ?
But its still great to know, that EAS scales so nice. Thanks
To Answer a question: YES EAR-request are HTTP_request and a i know they are handled by the MASSYNC.DLL, which uses OWA to access the information in the usermailbox. (It looks like a HTTP-reverseProxy with rewriting for me :-)
So don't enable Formbased Auth and other stuff without reading Q817379
