Using iPhone with a Microsoft Exchange Server

Hi
Is it possible to connect the iphone to a Microsoft Exchange Server to access your emails?
Thanks

Ryan Simmons,
Exchange's ActiveSync protocol which requires licensing a propietary protocol from Microsoft is what you are asking for.
IMAP is one additional port open, and can be encrypted with SSL. If they are concerned about an additional port open, VPN is an option. Then only when the VPN is active will the corporate email be available. The other argument that has been advanced on security is on Windows Mobile devices the server can ask for remote wipes of data from the phone. The iPhone only caches emails, and goes back to the server to download them again when you go to view them again. If you change the password for the account on the server, the same results occur - the email is not available on the device the next time that account is accessed from the iPhone.
This article contains an outline of the things needed on the server to support:

Can someone help with my Mail not working with my Microsoft Exchange server?

I am trying to set up my Mail account. I am using the Microsoft Exchange server. I've been using Entourage, but wanted to switch to using the Mac's Mail. I used the same settings I had with Entourage, but with Mac Mail I'm getting this error: MFEWSErrorDomain error 56. From some of the other posts I saw, it seems as though no one has any answers, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

There is no single cause of this problem and hence no single solution. There are several suggestions in this thread, if you haven't come across it, one of which might help:

Sync iPhone with work Outlook (Exchange Server) and home Outlook

Hi all,
I love my new iPhone 3G!
There is just one main thing remaining that I need it to do in order to fully replace my previous Windows Mobile phone functionality:
I need it to keep my work Outlook's contacts and calendars synchronized with my home Outlook (Outlook 2003 on Windows XP PC). Note: I do not want separate sets of work and personal contacts and/or calendar items, since I want all contacts and calendar items in both systems (differentiate by the Outlook category field).
With my previous Windows Mobile phone, it would sync with my work Exchange account (via wireless ActiveSync), and then resolve this with my local/home PC's Outlook when connected to my PC (using the local version of ActiveSync). When done, any contact or calendar change made at work, on my phone, or on my home PC would eventually be synchronized with all 3 systems (i.e., phone, work Outlook, and home Outlook).
The new iPhone 3G first beautifully sync'd to my local/home Outlook with iTunes 7.7. Then, when I configured my work Exchange ActiveSync with contacts and calendar sync on, it unfortunately cleared those sync'd items. Now the iPhone is beautifully sync'd with my work Outlook via Exchange ActiveSync, but iTunes will no longer allow my local sync. Thus, any changes at work or on the iPhone are not reflected at home
I researched this a little, and I see that the Apple MobileMe service may be able to help me. Can anyone tell me if it will allow me to sync the exact same items with my local Outlook, the iPhone, and directly/indirectly with my work Outlook (via Exchange ActiveSync)?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

I'm excited to finally sync my work email with my iPhone. Our IT didn't support it and we work off of an Exchange server. I, too, was nervous about which contacts to sync. While I want my work email, I don't need my contacts and would rather have mine from my mac at home. Unfortunately, you can only do one at a time. The following paragraph is from a c net review. Find the entire article here (the part about the Exchange Server is about 1/2 way down):
http://reviews.cnet.com/apple-iphone-3g/
//Once you're ready to go, the iPhone will sync your Outlook e-mail, contacts, and calendar. Be advised that while the iPhone can support multiple POP3 accounts at once (two Yahoo accounts, for instance), it syncs with only one Exchange server and, worse, with only with one calendar or contacts list at a time. If you have a separate personal calendar, your work calendar will replace it once you start the sync. (You'll be notified before it happens.)//
Hope this helps!

Is there a way to use Apple Mail/Address Book/Calendar with a Microsoft Exchange Server that requires a client certificate ?

I have an Exchange server configured to require a client certificate. Is there a way to configure a certificate for Apple Mail/Address Book/Calendar ? There seems to be no option in the account settings to do that (in contrast to for example the IMAP settings).
Any help highly appreciated !

I don't know. Try downloading the certificate and installing it in your keychain. See what happens.

Problem with Integerating Microsoft Exchange server as Webdav Repository

Hi all
We are using MS Outlook 2000.
I created an HTTP system with the exchange server domain name and the corresponding user id and password required for authentication.
Then i created the Repository Manager using WebDav Repository template.But when I go to component monitoring it gives error in the server as server not connected.
How to rectify the error?

hi,
Have you set the protocol to SMTP.
You have to create a system alias for the exchange server. have you done with it?

Iphone Email Setup - Microsoft Exchange Server

We have an exchange server and as a result having a little problem getting my email acct setup so I can "send" and "reply" to email... I can now receive email but cannot send/respond..
My IT dept is looking into it and asked me...
If you could find out if that device (IPhone)has a fixed IP address then we can get this resolved pretty quickly.
Suggestions please...
Tom Porter

I've also found sending email via an Exchange server to be problematic (intermittent but mostly not sending). I've laid it to the server I'm using, but this thing is still young. Some other sites also have reported Exchange issues.
Some reports have said Apple is going to address this issue in an update, but since many people were wrong about Exchange support in the first place, I'm biding my time.

IPhone 6 setup in Microsoft Exchange Server

Currently there is one cell phone in our office set-up on the
Microsoft Exchange Server. It can receive e-mails but cannot always send e-mails from the cell phone. Recently, we tried setting-up an iPhone
6 with the Microsoft Exchange Server and it can send an e-mail from the iPhone; but cannot receive e-mails on the iPhone. Also, the e-mails sent from the iPhone, do not show-up on the user's desktop. Please
help.<o:p></o:p>

Regarding the one that can't send, what happens when they try?
Regarding the one that doesn't show up in the desktop machine, what client is in use on the desktop machine, what version and service pack, and how is it configured to connect?
And what version, service pack and rollup or cumulative update is installed on the Exchange server?

TS4532 My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange using the web browser. The connection worked until IOS 6.1.2 was Install

My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange with the same parameters using the web browser.
I bought the phone when it came out last October. The connection did not work at first, then started without warning in December. It worked perfectly for 2 months then stopped again when IOS 6.1.2 was Installed.
Help please!

I have forwarded these questions about the version of Exchange server that is being used and whether Microsoft host the mai themselves to the IT Dept but I will not get a reply from them until tomorrow.
In the meantime I have also tried:
Deleting and re-creating the account AGAIN!
And re-setting the phone (recommended as a solution to a similar problem with an iPad in another forum.
But please remember that:
The phone would not connect for 2 months after I bought it
Then started working unexpectedly in December
Then stopped working again when IOS 6.1.2. was installed
Also why am I the only person affected by this when colleagues with iPhone 3s and 4s who use the same mail system are not (I am still trying to find one with an iPhone V to see if their's works).
Like I said I think that there must be a fault, either with my own phone or with iPhone Vs in general.

How to set Iphone 4s to sync with Microsoft Exchange server 2003?

I am unable to set up my Microsoft Exchange Server with my Iphone 4s. The exchange server is 2003 with Service Pack 2 installed.

DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer xyz using any of the configured protocols; requested by PID 7b28 (C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\MSExchangeHMWorker.exe).

Hi,
Previously I've two exchange server 2013 named : ABC and XYZ. After is decomm XYZ, i got this error :
DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer XYZ using any of the configured protocols; requested by PID 7b28 (C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\MSExchangeHMWorker.exe).
EventID:10028
Source:DistributedCOM
May I know the reason why the server keep looking for the non-exist server and how to terminate this process?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
It seems that error message occurs on the same machine with the previous Exchange Server you have decommissioned. Have you reinstall the Windows System after uninstall the Exchange
Server?
You need to check the registry keys but this is not efficient solution. The most efficient way is to reinstall the Windows if it is convenient.
Thanks,

Can I get more than one account on iphone microsoft exchange server

Hi all,
I was trying to get more than one account on iphone microsoft exchange server for mail, but it seems to only accept one. Is this true with everyone else out there. I guess I am one of the few people with more than one email account that uses microsoft exchange. I would love to have the convience of accessing them through iphone mail but it seems that I will be forced to use safari for the other two by typing owa... in the url.
any workaround to the one email account per iphone policy??

Yu can only have one Exchange Server account per device. This is true to iPhone and any Windows mobile device in the market. The work around is to set your other accounts that reside on an Exchange server using IMAP or POP settings as you used to do before the Version 2 update allowed you to sync directly to the Exchange Server. This methode will allow you to add as many accounts as you want or have.

1st Generation iPhone-Microsoft Exchange Server

Hi-
I have a first generation iPhone and want to use the Microsoft Exchange Server to download my work email and calendar. I have tried several times going through the process of entering email address, log in, password, domain, and sever. Each time I get an error message that says 'exchange account verification failed'. I have walked through this with 2 other people on their 3G iPhones and it works perfectly. Am I having trouble with this because I'm using the 1st Generation iPhone? Any assistance or troubleshooting with this would be awesome!
Thanks!

What version of the iPhone OS are you running? Check Settings > General > About. MS Exchange support is not available on pre-v2.0 versions. Original iPhones running v2.x are able to connect to MS Exchange servers (assuming the server is set to allow that access, which in your case since other iPhones are accessing it, it seems to be).

Iphone and Microsoft Exchange server 2007.

We as a corporate company have many iphone users, and the iphone users are configured with our corporate microsoft exchange 2007 server. So the users use their iphones to check their corporate emails which is on microsoft exchange 2007. So they have setup a connection on their iphones to the company exchange server.
The issue we have is that the iphone users have issues with sending out email via the exchange email accounts on their iphones, when they send large emails, or emails with a long chains, When they send these emails the emails gets stuck in the outbox, and does not send out. The users then have to delete the content in the email, or make the email less in size and then it sends OK.
We have checked our exchange server and the settings seem ok, and we have contacted microsoft, and they have done some tests with a windows mobile emulator which acts like a mobile device, and there are no issues with sending email their. So they have asked me to contact Apple about any issues.
So has anyone come across this issue. Any suggestions.

Try this:
1. On your Exchange server that runs your active sync or outlook web access, open IIS
2. Right click on the website that contains exchange components and choose properties.
3. Select the "Directory Security" tab
4. Under "Secure Communications", click the "Edit" button
5. Under "Client Certificates", select "Ignore Client Certificates"
6. *IMPORTANT STEP: When you click ok and ok again, it may ask you whether you want to change other subfolders within the main container with the modifications you have just made, dont select any of these subfolders, just click OK. It is only the main properties you need to change. Those that need to inherit, should already inherit properly. If you select other subfolders to change with the modifications you have just made, it will likely ruin your active directory setup as some subfolders need different security settings to others.

MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH IPHONE 3G AND MICROSOFT EXCHANGE!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

Ok,
My exchange server at work was synced to my iphone and has worked with no issues. I then exchanged my phone because there were issues with my bluetooth not syncing properly. So with this new phone, it prompts me to enter in my exchange server password every few days. I contacted my IT department as well and microsoft to get this issue resolved because I assume that there were issues with the exchange server. They were both able to see an event viewer and it showed that my iphone was attempting to log in numerous amounts of times, which locks out my account after 3 incorrect log ins. Even when I erased the exchange account from my phone, it still showed that the phone in the event viewer was trying to log in over and over again. I then did a master clear and restore and the process was removed in the event viewer. So then I called my IT department to unlock my account after I cleared everything. I was able to sync everything again with it working properly. Now its a day later and the my exchanger server prompts me to enter in the password AGAIN and my exchange account is locked AGAIN because the event viewer at work is showing the same issues. Is my Iphone not saving the password correctly? What do I do? My IT department even created a dummy account to see if a new account would fix the issues but yet no cigar! HELP!!

The iPhone you returned is still syncing against your server and locking out your account. Someone possibly has access to your mail data. I'd recommend having your Exchange Administrator install the Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync Web Administration Tool (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E6851D23-D145-4DBF-A2CC -E0B4C6301453&displaylang=en) and attempt to wipe/delete/block that other iPhone.

Calendar Connectivity with Microsoft Exchange Server

Hi Everybody,
We want to use Calendar scheduling activity of Micrsoft Exchange Server in NW Portal Version 7 SP9. However we are stuck up with the following problem.
The Scenario is like:
1)The IIS Server and MS Exchange Server are in same domain.
2)MSX-A component has been /copied installed on IIS Server 5.
3)DLL registered.
4)We are using MS Oultook 2003 and Exchange Server 2003.
5)An IIS website has been created following the guidelines from a PDF document( Its wihtout SSO).
6)Logon Locally permissions given to all users.
When the CDO Version test is executed the common error "Microsoft Outlook not configured for Corporate/Work group access. Reconfigure MS Outlook and try again" is thrown.
As per the information from sdn only MS Outlook 2000 needs to be configured for this.
When the Data Retrieval test is executed an error message "CDO MAPI_E_NOT_INITIALIZED(80040605)" is shown.
Please share your views on this situation.
Suresh Yadav

If I were you, I would create an OSS customer message for this.
Maybe a quick fix though... Have you installed Outlook 2003 on the same server as IIS is running on? Have you run outlook at least once and connected it to your Exchange server, setting it as the default mail client?
Also, there is a note about what to do for exchange transports when you do a portal patch. Applying those steps might be a good idea even if you have not done an upgrade.
Good Luck.
Regards,
Graham.
