Exchange Server Sync issues...

Hi folks,
I have a problem that has been discussed in abundance right now. How ever, I dare posting it because none of the methods described have helped me to get the exchange stuff running.
I have an iPhone 16 GB 3G with 347 firmware.
An iMac 2,8 Ghz with 10.5.4. and Entourage
A MacBook 1,83 with 10.5.4. and Entourage
An HTC Kaiser with WindowsMobile 6.1 professional
A Dell Vostro1710 with Windows XP Pro SP2
On all those devices I can access and work with the SBS2003 Exchange Server, except for, drums please: the iPhone.
As I am at the same time the admin of our little Network, I would be able to change all settings, but still I can't get it done. Information so far:
OWA: https://mail.mycompany.com/exchange
Server: mail.mycompany.com
e-mail: [email protected]
User: Rene
Password: gofigure
Domain: mycompany.local
No SSL or other certificates employed.
When I set up the account and enter the information above, a window comes up saying that the certificates on this page could not be verified. I accept this window. Then comes the Dialogue asking for the server, which I enter as above. Then the same window comes up again stating that the certificates could not be verified and again I accept.
Then it says "Account verified" and shows me the choices what I would like to sync with Exchange. As of now I would be happy if it only did e-mail (and I don't want to mess up my main calendar on MobileMe), so I unselect the others.
I click on save and switch to the mail app, which is: right, empty...
It makes no difference if I enter the Username with or without the domain as indicated in gray. It just won't work.
What am I missing here? Since there are apparently plenty of users who can get it to work... And I am now trying for the umpteenth time that even my patience is coming to an End.
Cheers,
Rene

Hi guys,
I, too, am NOT a tech guy though I do administrate a bunch of different networks. I've been reading these forums for the past week or so and are also trying to connect my iPhone 1st gen. to our Exchange server. I haven't succeeded yet but if we put our heads together I think we can accomplish this
First, let's get the details on the "table"
My setup is like follows:
- Single server setup (Windows 2003 Standard SP2 / Exchange 2003 SP2)
- OWA enabled (SSL by GoDaddy)
- Active Sync (supposedly working)
- Firewallports opened and NAT configured accordingly
As to my knowledge there seems to be NO "straight-forward" way of configuring an Exchange server, hence all the different setups we've seen on these forums. Something works for some people and some things does not.
Now, for the details we have to put in in the on-screen guide (on the iPhone) the following applies to me (at least I think so):
E-mail: [email protected]
User: domain\loginname *
Password: myPassword
Server-name-field now present and:
Server: company.com (<-- No HTTP or HTTPS) **
+* Domain name is "something.local" but I've read somewhere that we should use the NETBIOS name. Can't back it up though since I forgot the link.
** I've read more than one place that the server name is the "Active Sync Server" and NOT the OWA (like Entourage) or the FQDN like Outlook+
When entering all of these details I STILL have nothing showing up anywhere (in mail, calendar or contacts). But I see no errors or warnings of any kind.
I've tried to add a new virtual directory in IIS and edit the reg-base ((with no luck) - I've tried to setup the correct permissions on the different virtual directories in IIS (and with no luck). I do, however, think THIS is where the "gold" might be - a good place to start. Permissions of the virtual directories on the ISS.
What do you guys think?

Corporate Corporate Exchange server sync contact issue

Corporate Corporate Exchange server sync procedure works as it should except : When I go to Contact Groups menu all of my contacts from the exchange server are now at the top, in the 'Not Assigned' area. For normal contact use this does not seem to be a problem for phone or email. But when I try to set up a group, under 'Corporate', only a random couple of the 671 contacts are available. How can I do a sync so that the contacts appear under 'Corporate' or 'Phone', when in the Group menu, or move them down to this area?
Thanks in advance for help,

I ended up using the column view trick. Column view -> sort by email address -> click & delete every "[No email address found]" entry. In my experience, I've found that just putting in the digital elbow grease takes less time than using things like scripting.
I'm just sad that these things don't get designed well to begin with. I've got other very basic gripes about the Pre. I'm told it works much better with a Google account. I'd love to jump on that bandwagon, but work is using Exchange. You simply must must must work with Exchange sever since so many big corporations have drunk Bill Gates' Koolaid. But to provide buggy Exchange compatibility is risky, even moreso when your company's future depends on the success of your current device.
Palm is clearly getting into bed with Google at the expense of Microsoft. I suppose that's the way I'd go too, but for the time, Palm's buggy Exchange support sets up RIM to keep running the table with Blackberrys. If they had just done Exchange right, they would have double the sales they have now, and Apple and RIM would really have something to worry about.

1.1.1 update fixes Exchange email sync issue

Before the update, when I deleted an email on Exchange on my PC and then hit the wireless/update button on the iPhone, the message would be deleted on the phone. But when I deleted an email on the device, it would never get deleted on the Exchange server. This was a huge pain and has been documented, and I (and I'm sure others) reported the issue to Apple.
After update 1.1.1, everything works fine.

Thats because during the update it cleaned out your system and then when you sync'd with iTunes...it reset your outlook. With an IMAP setup, its designed to do that but only when you allow itunes to sync the account to your phone.
If you hand built your account into the iphone and then with the sync you established a conflict and that is why your IMAPing didnt work right.
Glad its working as designed now.

IPhone 2.0 exchange calendar sync issue with PUSH enabled

I have setup Push sync over Exchange for my iPhone. If I accept an incoming meeting request it does not update Entourage calendar. If I change delivery setting to fetch, the issue disappears. Is this a known bug? BTW - several of my work colleagues have noted the same issue. All are Entourage users too.

You can accept/decline/mark tentative any meetings sent to you, and you can also edit meetings you create (whether on the phone or in Outlook, OWA, etc).
IMPORTANT: make sure your user name for the Exchange account as entered on your iPhone exactly matches the case of the user name set up on the Exchange server. (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your-Exchange-Account > Account Info). Set both the Email and Username fields to exactly match the case of your email and username on Exchange. Look up yourself in the Exchange Address Book in Outlook and see how it's entered. i.e. [email protected] must be entered in the iPhone with the same capitalization. I also edited my own contact cards to match -- just to be sure.
Otherwise, the iPhone gets confused with meeting invites and might ask you to Accept/Maybe/Decline your own meetings! If this is the case, you also won't be able to edit meetings on the iPhone even if you create them.
As far as i know, the above is only true for Exchange accounts. I had this problem, and solved it last night.

IPhone to Exchange calendar sync issues

OK, I have read through many posts on here, but have yet to find a post that describes my situation. If someone has seen this answered in other places, please let me know.
I currently have the following setup:
iPhone 2.2.1, using OTA sync with Exchange
Entourage 2008 (not Outlook/Windows)
Exchange server 2007 (at work, I am not the guy who runs it)
My mail and contacts work fine.
CALENDAR issue for me is something I can't quite wrap my head around:
I get syncs fine for calendar when accepted through Entourage - but when they are updated by the original senders I get multiple entries for every event showing up on my phone (the old events aren't removed). In addition, my phone does not sync back to the Exchange server when I accept invitations, nor when I create entries in my calendar.
Thoughts?

This problem is only something I've had problems with recently. Previously entries in the Calendar would sync OK regardless of where they were created or accepted. So appointments I logged on the road into the phone would work back into Exchange and onto Entourage.
Two things have changed. Our Exchange server was upgraded and how has Active Sync which means I now get push notifications which is great. I've also gone up to the 3.01 software on the iPhone.
Now, it seems I am ONLY getting push from Exchange to the iPhone. Calendar entries from Entourage appear on the phone.
Any calendar entries created on the phone or invites accepted on the phone stay on the phone. They are not synced back to Exchange and onto my Entourage calendar.
As someone who is office based for only a few days a month, effective Calendar sync is vital.
If the problem is with the OS update on the phone then this fix needs to be part of 3.02. If the problem lies with the Active Sync setup then I need some instructions to go back to our Sys Admins with.
Thanks!

Microsoft exchange calendar sync issue in iOS 5.0.1

Hi,
I have iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 installed. My company uses Miycrosoft Exchange Server and I have synched my iPhone using the Microsoft Exchange server account option. I don't have any probelm with my emails or contacts.
However, the calendar is not synching properly. After I setup the account for the first time, I see many of my calendar items has been synced. But some of them are missing. I can't find any reason why those items are missing. I added/deleted new items on my calendar on Outlook Web Access and it showed up on my iPhone. I also tried adding/deleting items on my iPhone and they synched appropriately. The only issue is some of the pre-existing items are not showin on my iPhone and I can't find any reason for it.
I already tried to delete the account and add from scratch. I also removed the iCloud from my iPhone and tested without iCloud, no difference. I reinstalled the iCloud.
Any help is much appreciated.

We have struggled with this as well on Exchange 2010. We just trued this today with some of our users and seems to get everything back into sync:
On the iOS device:
• Navigate to Settings app > Mail, Contacts, Calendar.
• Scroll down and locate the Calendar section
• Tap Sync (under the Calendars section)
• Set the interval to All Events
• Close the Settings app (Tap Home button)
I suggest rebooting the iOS device. Check the calendar and let it sync – look for those missing events.
This has worked for everyone that had the missing events issue.

Exchange calendar sync issues among iOS devices and Mavericks

When I add an event to a shared Exchange calendar on my Mac in iCal, and mark it as All-Day, that designation does not appear with the event on my iOS devices. Instead, it's given a 24-hour duration from 12 to 12, so to speak. Here's the confusing part: If I edit the event on my iPhone to correct it as All-Day, it does not sync that All-Day designation to my iPad. Additionally, if I then make the same correction on the iPad, toggles it on the phone and removes All-Day. Removal of All-Day designation on a device does remove it on the Mac calendar, which I then have to change back. So I chase it around in a circle and end up with the correct duration on only one iOS device. The difference in All-Day and 24 hours duration does matter graphically as many of these events run for several weeks or months. All-Day keeps them confined to the upper section of the calendar graph rather than muddying up the lowerm hourly appointments.
Any ideas on how to rectify the problem?
I'm running Mavericks, iOS 7.0.3 and using MS Exchange 2010.

There are several other posters on the Forums that are having issues with Exchange sync'ing with Mavericks. It could be that your all-day verses mutli-hour issue may be among them.
Most of the problems that people are seeing, including myself, are more to do with Mail and Calendar simply not synchronizing.
My Mail.app INBOX for my Exchange server is now several hours behind my iOS and Windows Outlook instances. Calendar appointments are simply not being pushed to the server (though they seem to be retrieved OK).
So, sorry for now help on this one directly, but you are not alone.

Disabled the active sync service & enable again for users from exchange server,
Removed accounts from webmail.
We download some apps from play store and tried but no luck.
While configure exchange active sync in Particular model users are getting error as "User name and password incorrect".
There is no issue from exchange server and user account. as same is working fine in other devices. This issue happening for more that 10 users and receiving more calls day by day.
I request anybody to take it forward and provide the solution/suggestion, if it is a known bug for particular device model. Please confirm back.
We are waiting for someone valuable reply. Many thanks in advance.

ActiveSync clients are developed by the device manufacturer and/or its operating system developer. I recommend you contact their technical support or find and post to a forum specific to that device.

Hi,
Please try run below command to double confirm the authentication of ActiveSync:
Get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory | FL Identity,*URL*,*Auth*

Get contacts of iPhone (Exchange server sync)

Hi,
I recently left my old job to start a new one. I have my iPhone setup to syncronize all my emails, contacts and calendars with my old companys Exchange server.
My account on their Exchange server has now been disabled and I no longer have access to my old work PC to export my contacts as a PST.
How can I get my contacts of my iPhone (must be cached I guess) onto my PC so that I can add them onto my local copy of Outlook and then setup my iPhone to syncronize from my personal laptop?
Best Regards
Fredrik

No way that I'm aware of, which is how most companies that provide an Exchange account want it. There is not a way to sync contacts being synced over the air direct with a supported address book application on your computer via the iTunes sync process.
You can check if the Exchange contacts synced over the air are available with your iPhone's backup on your computer which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. There are a number of utilities that provide for extracting select data from your iPhone's backup for access on your computer. Here is one.

Portal integration with Exchange server 2003 issues.

Hello,
We are using NW04s EP 7.0 SP16 and Exchange server 2003. We are trying to perform OWA and Groupware integration. Both the servers are in the same domain.
I have followed all the steps in the notes and documents available there in SDN. There are few issues:
1) The latest KerbMap filter has been configured in Exchange backend server. SAP note 785343 says that the exchange frontend server needs to be configured for anonymous authentication to enable pass-through authentication. But doing this breaks the form based authentication in exchange server, and it also poses security risk when the backend exchange server is behind the firewall. How do we enable pass-through authentication so that the exchange frontend passes the mysapsso2 cookie to the exchange backend server?
2) When I try to create an appointment or try to view the appointments, it gives an error message saying " No logon data found for system Exchange". The Exchange system has been configured for SAP Logon Ticket, and the user mapping fields were left empty. Why should it prompt for user mapping when the logon method is "SAP Logon Ticket"?
There are many documents out there, but none is the latest with clear steps. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks,
~Yasin

As far as I remember, when Exchange 2003 is installed on a Domain Controller, it uses the local DC as a GC. You need to set back the 2003 DC as GC and restart it.
I believe, you are aware that demoting/promoting a DC with Exchange server on it is not supported by MS. The best approach is to:
Introduce an Exchange 2010 member server
Move all resources from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010
Decommission Exchange 2003
Demote the 2003 DC

Trouble Shooting an Exchange Server Connection Issue

I recently encountered a problem when if my phone couldn't connect to the exchange server (MSFT Exchange 2003) it would clear out all of the previously synced mail on the phone. Once it is able to reconnect it will re-download everything, however if this is a normal behavior, and can't I prevent it from resetting all of my mail whenever the phone can't connect for whatever reason the phone becomes a real deal-breaker for me for business applications.
I called AT&T and was told that it was a security feature and there was no way around it. Does anyone know if this is a normal behavior or have any ideas on a way to stop this from occurring? Or should I try calling Apple Care to get someone with a little more knowledge of the way the phone works?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
Will

You will not lose mail, contacts and calendar if the iPhone cannot connect to the Exchange server. However, you WILL lose data on the phone if the iPhone connects, but the Exchange server is not running. Normally this won't happen if your IT department has even a basic level of competence, and disables incoming requests during Exchange server maintenance. This is a characteristic of ActiveSync, and has nothing to do directly with the iPhone.

N70 Exchange Server Sync

Hi,
I read that Nokia have licensed Activesync to allow business users (e.g. Me) to sync their N70 devices with an MS Exchange Server. Does anyone know what the status is of this? All I can find on Nokia.co.uk is a year-old press release...
In the interim, does anyone know how I can sync my N70 with Exchange?
Thanks in advance...
neil

Nokia has, indeed, licensed the ActiveSync technology to talk directly to Exchange servers. However, no phones with support for it has been released by Nokia yet (in any case, I would look for that support to first appear in Eseries devices like the E61 or E70).
In the meanwhile, you can synchronize with an Exchange server through a local synch with a PC (Outlook) using PC Suite:
http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite
A remote (over-the-air, OTA) synchronization is also possible, if you have a, so called, SyncML Server connected to/with your Exchange server.
DataViz is also adding support for S60 devices (like the N70) for their RoadSync product:
http://www.dataviz.com/solutions/enterprise/roadsync/supported_devices.html
Nokia Business Center also allows Exchange server connectivity OTA:

Failed Exchange Server Sync Question

Hi all my exchange server has failed so had to replace it which I have now done but im unsure about the phones. All the users phones still have the contacts and emails on but there Outlooks are effectly blank.
If I sync the phones will I loose all the info on the phone as it will sync with the blank mailbox or will it copy all the items from the phone to the mailbox?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Mailboxes and email are completely separate from contacts.
When a connection is reestablished with the Exchange Server, if the same messages on the iPhone that are available in what was the server stored mailboxes with the server that failed are not available with the new server - no backup of the server that failed is available, all messages on the iPhone will be lost. What is available at the server takes priority in this situation.
The same applies to contacts.

Exchange Server Connection Issues

I set up my work email as an exchange account. I had problems with it connecting so I deleted it and reinstalled it. I still get the ferris wheel icon spinning at the bottom with the message Connecting for minutes at a time. It is better if I use a wifi connection. On other occasions it connects and checks for mail quickly. I am not having this problem with my yahoo or other email accounts.
Short of wiping them all out and reinstalling them I am looking for a solution. Having push on makes the problem worse. I am showing three to four bars I do not think it is a signal problem.
I love the phone but am missing my BES.

This is usually an issue with the protocol used by Microsoft's Exchange Server. Some company's will follow MS's security reccomendations to a T and the iPhone does not completely meet all of these requirements so the Exchange server will not allow a full connection. I use the iPhone with my company's Exchange Server and it works perfectly fine, but only because we don't 100% follow Microsoft's recommendations on securing the server. I believe there are apps out there that do follow these security protocols so you can still connect.
Thanks, there is a thread on the apple support forum where many others are having this issue. Some are suggesting it is a software bug, if so I hope they fix it soon. I do get my emails, but I find it is better to turn push off.
