For example, to set the existing address book of the personal Exchange account as the default account for contacts, it must first be set up on the iPhone. This way, the sync.blue® CardDAV account set up later will not become the default account, and new contacts will remain in the address book that was set up first. This is a limitation imposed by Apple iOS and cannot be influenced by sync.blue® or any type of MDM.
