IPhone and Exchange Server

not having the correct name on the cert will cause an error as well.

Hey Justin,

Our IT boys are not letting us use the iPhone yet and I am trying to bypass them if I can. I tried what you suggested but then I am asked to enter our VPN information. Any ideas what I need to do next or will I need to wait on my IT folks?

Cheers,
Karl

Hi Justin,

I've verified all the below steps, and I'm still having problems. The phone will authenticate, but will not sync any information.

I do however get an error on the phone about verifying the server, and I need to hit "Accept" then put in our mail server address. But it does verify after that.

I have the same issue. Our IT staff won't support the Iphone and they have turned off Activesync on the Exchange/OWA outbound server.

Since we have OWA and RPC via HTTP is enabled on it, I'm currently using synchronica demo server to sync my emails (www.synchronica.com). Just register to their Enterprise live demo for mobile gateway.

For contact and calendar synchornisation there is a PC and a Mac solution that involves using MobileME.

for PC and MAC - Leave an Outlook session (entourage for MAC) open on your local PC connected on the PC get MobileMe synchroniser to synch only your contacts and calendar. On the Mac you need to get Entourage to synch with ICal and contact list app. Then configure you Mac sync service to sync (Ical and contact) to MobileMe.

If you want access to the corporate contact list of the exchange server, a company called www.snerdware.com makes a software only for the MAC called AddressX and it goes and gets the address list from your via OWA and sync's it into a folder in a different ICAL folder. Mobileme will then do the rest to sync this up and down to your IPhone.

I have found no single redirector or extractor software to get all my info (mail, calendar and contacts) from an OWA server to MobileMe. Id pay money for that kind of software.

Jean - Thanks for your reply. I will look into SYNCHORNICA.

Can someone help me in figuring out what is the user name and exchange server which i need to setup in my iphone 3G Exchange settings.

I have tried everything I cound think of, but no luck !

Thanks,

You need to ask your IT the web adress 'youremail.yourcompany.com' adress

you need to know if they support Activesync mobile service via this web adress or is it only Outlook web accesss (OWA).

Best is to have Activesync if you only have OWA available to you then there are other solutions discussed in this forum, seek my name to find some.

Good luck

IT does not want to talk to me anymore..... they dont care about my issues.

How can i tell whether i have "support for Activesync mobile service via this web adress or is it only Outlook web accesss (OWA)"

If i set up a smartphone using my server green.applicamail.com, it works fine.

Yet iphone does not work.

Using a standard web browser, such as Safari, type in the address to your mail server like this:

green.applicamail.com/oma

Hit Enter and see what happens. It should ask you to log in. Do so. Then it should give you a message that you're on an unsupported device. If it does this, then your mail server is set up correctly for ActiveSync. If any of these steps fail, then the server is not configured correctly or the mobile access service is disabled. If that's the case and your IT group won't help, then you're kinda out of luck.

Yu describe my situation completely. I can do this step in either my PC or my iphone without any issues. I get error about a non supported devic, hit OK, then i am in to see a text version of my emails and folders. I can view emails, and reply.

Using the same information, the iphone ms exchange setup verifies my account, but no emails are downloaded !! There are never any errors on my iphone. Everything goes as expected. Yet no emails, contacts or calendar gets downloaded.

ANy oher suggestions ? or am i out of luck since we are using Exchange service pack 1?

Great information, I tried and I got this error

"Your user account has not been enabled for wireless access. Please contact your system administrator for additional assistance."

Guess i'll have to talk to IT for an other try

I can't connect my Exchange server and my iPhone 1 with software V2.
After multiple tries i always get the following message:
Error at the server connection
Error Domain=DAErrorDomain Code=0 Operation could not be completed.
Any help will be welcome.
Is there any "hot line"?
Thanks
Serge

When I was not syncing but not getting any errors, I could not access OMA as I would get an error message that indicated it was not working (sorry, I don't remember specifically what it said). That's when I figured out the solution that I documented here:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1629194&tstart=15

Once I had completed this, everything worked and the iPhone synced and I start getting messages pushed as well. Your ability to log in to OMA successfully makes me think that everything is fine on the Exchange server side, but you may have an issue on the iPhone side. I'd try a couple of things to see what happens. First, it wouldn't hurt to go through the Exchange server and verify the settings that are in my other post, above. Second, I'd delete the iPhone's Exchange account and recreate it to see if that might fix it up.

Finally, if none of these things work, I would try using the domain name with your User ID in the iPhone setting as in:

DomainName\UserID

It would also help to know which version of Windows Server you are running. SBS or Regular.

Jean,

Yes, it sounds like you simply don't have permission to access the service. Your IT department should be able to grant this access to you in a matter of moments if they are so inclined.
