I am having trouble synchronising my WM7 (HTC Mozart) to a local Exchange Server (part of SBS 2003). Our Exchange server does not reside on the internet, rather, we use the POP Connector to download mail etc. Anyway, I've been attempting to syncrhronise with our Exchange Server, however it is a local unit only. Do I have to install OMA? Do I have to worry about "installing a Certificate" from the server? What naming convention is used to identify the "local" Exchange Server? I've read a lot of threads on this problem but haven't found any that specifically related to local Exchange Servers only. The thought is that I will connect to the Server only when I am in the office. Thanks in anticipation. Brett

Hi You will need to configure your 2003 Exchange accordingly to the link below http://www.petri.co.il/how-can-i-configure-rpc-over-https-on-exchange-2003-single-server-scenario.htm And either use internal PKI and deploy the root certs to the devices or purchase an 3rd part certificate (recommended) Test it externally using : https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/ Jonas Andersson | Microsoft Community Contributor Award 2011 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog | Follow me on twitter: jonand82

Hi, You need to download the certificate from Exchange server and install it into your device. Then create Exchange account to sync with your mails in exchange server.

Are you trying to get Autodiscover to work or is this thread about ActiveSync sync? Then log above tells us that it cannot find any Autodiscover DNS record, either add a A record for autodiscover and point it to your CAS server or create a SRV record for autodiscover http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940881 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332063%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx Jonas Andersson | Microsoft Community Contributor Award 2011 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog | Follow me on twitter: jonand82

Hi What result do you get if you run the test at : https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/ Post the result in the thread Jonas Andersson | Microsoft Community Contributor Award 2011 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog | Follow me on twitter: jonand82

The above test was done under Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTP). I have ran the test again under Autodiscover and got the following result: _________________________________________________________ ExRCA is attempting to test Autodiscover for brett.parker@independentswitchboards.local.

Jonas Ran the test and it failed - as it is a local Exchange Server only its identity won't be able to be found on the web.

Thanks for your replies - sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I've setup the server per the above instructions; enabled the CA provisions on the server; updated the phone to the latest software - still not working. Details are as follows: Username: initialsurname (the same as i use to log into windows) Password: password (the same as i use to log into windows) Domain: domainname.local (it is a local Exchange Server) Server: servername.domainname.local (as appears in Outlook) SSL: have tried it both on and off I am able to browse the internet via the Wireless LAN in the network, so connectivity to network is not an issue. I don't know how to download the certificate from Exchange Server and install on the device - how do you do this? Really appreciate any help you guys can provide as it was an expensive phone and I haven't been able to use it (still using my Windows Mobile 5 phone). Thanks Brett
