Hey all,
Just an idea. Does anyone out there think that it might be a good idea to start a thread about Exchange and OTA activesync issues? I have fielded a few questions recently and just figured that I would ask. (perhaps not located here in WM6 group but since this is most active I figured I would ask here).
Yes, I think it is a good idea.
Why? What is the problem? I've have used at least 5 different WM6 Roms as well as WM5 cooked versions, all working fine with my TMobile MDA and Push/Activesync and front-end exchange server here.
Personally.... None...
Hey....
Personally, I have similar setup and no issues with multiple roms as well. I have just been answering a few questions lately from people who have been having issues and rather than have them get off topic in other forums non-related to exchange / active sync issues I figured I would start one.
RV
Ok, I am feeling ya'
Let the questions/issues begin! Will help if I can to answer questions or test.
Real World Problem
Perhaps you will allow me to jump in with a real world problem, then.
I was able to synch with Exchange 2003 SP2 no problem. I essentially have two different scenarios:
1. I have no T-Mobile service at my desk, so I hook up to my XP machine with a USB cable and run AS 4.5. That view puts me on a private network (192.162.xxx.xxx); the pertinent server configuration is ISA 2006 front end to the network and a WS 2003 running Exchange behind it. The XP machine gets its IP address from DHCP server on the ISA machine, using the ISA address as a gateway for the local network.
2. Away from my desk, I connect via GPRS. The connection is to the ISA server using the public DNS name of mail.<domain>.com. This means a VPN connection.
So after flashing a new ROM, I can no longer synch locally. I get a 85010001 error message, bad HTTP protocol. Not much helpful information out there; I made certain that integrated authentication was not checked on the directory security tab for the IIS folder, and I went through the deletion and recreate of the IIS folders per MS article. Still won't synch up with the same error.
Additional information. RPC over HTTP is set up on the Exchange server via ISA server, and publicly purchased certificate covers the IIS DEFAULT directory. I can do OWA from inside and outside the network, synch via GPRS when I have service but can't when I use a USB connection. I had copied my WM5 settings down before I flashed, and they are set correctly. HOWEVER, when I unlocked the phone before going to WM6, I reloaded 2.26 from T-MOBILE AND THIS PROBLEM SHOWED UP BEFORE WM6! There were no reboots or changes on any of the servers or the XP machine from when it was working to when it wasn't.
Thanks, sorry if this was posted int the wrong place.
Hey rvverito, I'm an Exchange admin myself and would love to help others who had problems setting up the Exchange/OTA Sync. If you're interested in any help or just get stuck on a sticky problem, drop me a PM or email. (Both will be pushed to my device )
Unfortunately, I'm unfamiliar with ISA, I mainly service SBS servers and a WS 2003 box of my own, but with a hardware firewall. From your post it's not clear exactly what the error message is. WHen it comes to Microsoft 0x850001 is different than 850001, so if you could expand on that, it would be great.
Activesync reports the error
the 85010001 error is a windows dialogue box that comes from Activesync and not to be confused with something in one of the event files. In fact, there are no event postings on either the Exchange nor the XP boxes, and for that matter not on the ISA box, either. The error descriptions indicate a bad HTTP protocol, but I have seen other references to this error where the user wasn't even running Exchange and was trying to synch with some POP3 service. Go figure.
I know that with a certificate, there are some extra considerations, but i seemed to have had it working just fine, now not at all.
I am convinced it has something to do with Exchange and inside the local network. The WM5/6 setting capactiy is simply not rich enough to let me play with some things.
Here is another wierd thing. I am running a Netgear wireless router with WPA-PSK security. I try setting this up as a wi-fi network on my MDA and it comes back unavailable. There is a scanner on the build, and when I turn on SID broadcasting, I can see the network. However, the broadcaster says it is running WEP. If I turn off the SID, the broadcaster says it is open. And of couse, a dozen or so devices including a Nintendo Wii are all affectionately connected to the router.
thanks - L
Hmm, from the sounds of it, you may have to load the certificate onto your device. It is possible that you had it before you started the whole reflashing your phone deal, so it's worth a shot.
Of like mind
that is the conclusion I came to as well. I have been sorting out how to get the cert onto the device.
what troubles me though, is why it works over GPRS.
It could be because you have the certificate for AS/OWA, but not one for connecting to the LAN. I'm not sure what your network topology is like, so I can't really help you in that regard/
one more thing, if you have stupid tmobile proxy enable it will not let you sync with Exchange when its docked with PC, nor your pda will have access to internet. BLAME the t-zone service for blocking inbound traffic over proxy or get your self fully fledge internet for 29.99 or what you can do is disable the proxy when you connect to pc or installed battery status extended and enable option where it disables proxy when wifi is turned on. This will let you sync over wifi however again when docked with PC it can't be synced until you manually turned of proxy. Hope this helps.
wish that were it
but proxy is turned off. thanks.

I rarely post questions because most that I have had have been answered already and I can find what I need through searching.
However the amount of apparent confusion in the questions and answers on this subject has made it impossible to figure this out.
I cannot reliably connect via wifi on my Wizard running XDA Mobile 6.
Problem:
1. Wizard connects to Wifi, but does not correctly get DHCP.
Okay, a pda is pretty useless as a wifi device if it can't receive a dynamic address, but I set up a static IP (on the Wizard) to work with my router, and deferred diagnosing this until after I actually have wifi working at all.2. Wizard cannot seem to choose a DNS server.
It apparently tries to use the GPRS dns server to resolve addresses, and can succeed, but this is slow. If I disable the phone it uses the DNS I entered (my wifi router). and works precisely as it should, resolving domain names almost instantly, just like the other wifi devices on my network. With the phone turned on the DNS address seems to be ignored
Is there someone out there who can address this problem? Maybe I need a primer in the serpentine methods Windows Pocket PC uses to configure itself to connect to networks, because it certainly doesn't seem the least bit logical from this writer's perspective.
Thanks.

Yes, I had the same issue with most 6.0 ROMs here. But TNT 6.0 ROM works without changing DNS manually. Haven't checked the root cause is ...... You might install TNT ROM to see whether it resolve your issue.
That's some kind of DHCP problem.
I don't have it with my cooked ROMs.
When DHCP is used to get an IP address, it also gets the DNS servers sent back in the same response packet. So if you disable DHCP (or it fails) you need to manually configure both it and the DNS addresses.
Exactly my point.
It's clear that the problem is a DHCP client failure. There are plenty of posts here saying things like, "try a different ROM" etc. The information I am looking for is how to fix it.
Uh, try a ROM that doesn't have the problem?
The ones I've run (including my own cooking) work fine.
oops- double post
I was sort of hoping for a registry key to edit or other setting...
DHCP is working, for example on Remote NDIS-host (activesync connection), so it seems likely that there might be another solution.
I will have a look at your ROM, Genesis3.,
Hello!
I'm new here, please bear with me... Also i'm norwegian, which i will use as an excuse.
Well, to the point...
I currently have vjgraces WM6 v3.7 on my Tornado (qtek8310).
In my SMS inbox the left softkey is "delete", but in WM5 the left softkey is "new". Is there any way to change this?
Also, in messaging "app", is there any way to add Hotmail as a option there, as I could in WM5?
Jarle
edit: these are not critical problems, I can learn to live with it. I just got MSN to work over wifi also, so the hotmail-issue is not so critical. But i would be nice to have the e-mails on the phone tho.
Also, anyone got a good notepad-app to recommend?
edit2: Got a lot on my mind today...
IP Phone. Does it ever work? In the Settingsmenu in Comm manager it doesn't work to select ip phone, and i cant find it in start->settings->connections.
Is this option disabled? Would be great to call for free in wifi-zones.
Sorry if a lot of my questions are noob and such, but as i said, im norwegian.
Also, (lots of alsos here today), before, with WM5, if I had the phone connected to my computer with USB, I could surf on the phone using the computers internett connection. Now I cant, why?
i can help you with the internet thingy but not on the other stuff,if you want to use your desktop connection for you wm phone just got to settings/connection/advance and set everything there to automatic that should let you use your desktop internet connection on your wm phone.
It is set to automatic on every option, but it still download over edge.
Anyway, thats not a big problem, its not often I use internett on my phone when its connected to PC anyway, but thank you for your help.
Also, anyone got a good notepad-app to recommend?
I use PocketNotepad by Tillansoft. Freeware, no troubles noticed yet.

Your 'Pass through Internet' issue
For your internet connectivity issue while connected to PC, please try this:
In 'Active Sync', go to File - Connection Settings.. The field, 'This computer is connected to:' must have the selection 'The internet'. If you made a change here, close Active Sync, restart the PC, connect the device and try.
You may be interested in these: If you use Wndows XP, search for the topic 'Residential Gateway' in Help and Support. Also look for 'Desktop pass-through overview' in Active Sync Help topics. Hope it helps.
JoLe.
Thank you Jole. I had the 'connection settings' in ActiveSync set to Automatic before. I changed it to Internet, and it works like a charm!
Going to test PocketNotepad also.
The Problem: I cannot get Exchange to sync correctly when using any 6.1 ROMs.
AT&T Tilt
AT&T SIM
Exchange 2003
Radio: 1.58.26.20
I really need to be able to Exchange sync in order to accomplish my job. From reading though the many 6.1 threads and searching around, I have found that people seem to be occasionally running into this problem, but there hasn't been any resolutions mentioned yet. The problem for me is that synchronization will not occur in ActiveSync. At one point, it would sync my contacts even though it said the sync failed. Others have reported that it will sync contacts and calendar but not email.
The Active Sync error code that I get after flashing a new 6.1 ROM and setting up Exchange the normal way is:
Result: Synchronization could not be completed. Try again later.
Support Code: 0x80830003
Here is a list of things that I have tried so far from searching and asking around that did not work:
1. Didn't work: Installing "remove hidden proxy" .cabs.
2. Didn't work: "What, exactly, are you having issues with? It's not an Exchange 2k3 incompatibility, as mine is synching fine. I did have to go into Settings > Connections > USB and turn off advanced network capabilities, though."
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1940649&postcount=1155
3. Verify the following Exchange setting (already checked): "On the Exchange server, launch Internet Services Manager. Right click on the Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directory and choose Properties. Select the Directory Security tab. Click the Edit button in the Secure Communications section and select the option to 'Ignore client certificates.'"
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...ices-Deploying_Microsoft_Mobile_Messaging.doc
4. Verify the following Exchange setting (not running Exchange 2007): "I also had trouble syncing with Exchange. I run Exchange 2007 and had to enable the option to allow the enrolment of non-supported devices in my ActiveSync policy. With WM5.0 or 6.0 it always worked flawlessly."

5: After trying kewlair's suggestion:
"The first issue I had was the initial setup. I set up my account properly, but ActiveSync would report that it cannot sync at this time. I knew that I had to uncheck the Use Proxy for this Connection option to solve this issue, but I couldn't find where to get to that setting for the MEdia Net connection that was being used. I finally found it in Settings -> Connections -> Advanced Tab, then tap the Select Networks button and where it says "Programs that automatically connect..." select MEdia Net instead of My ISP and then you can tap the Edit... button and remove the proxy server selection."
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1957501&postcount=3
...attempting to force a sync gives this. I also tried changing "Programs that automatically connect..." to My ISP with the same result:
ActiveSync tries to connect using either MEdia Net or My ISP and then says:
"Cannot Connect
Dialed: Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again."
ActiveSync Reports: "Waiting for network"
Right i am pissed so i might be being a ****, but, it would help if you told us
a) what version of exchange you are running.
b) whether you are using ssl to sync with the server
c) whether you are talking about syncing when connected to the pc, over gprs or such, or both.

Yeah, I have noticed some issues as well. I'm using dutty's official 6.1 release.
The first issue I had was the initial setup. I set up my account properly, but ActiveSync would report that it cannot sync at this time.

I finally found it in Settings -> Connections -> Advanced Tab, then tap the Select Networks button and where it says "Programs that automatically connect..." select MEdia Net instead of My ISP and then you can tap the Edit... button and remove the proxy server selection.
The second issue I have found is that after a while (not sure on specific time) ActiveSync just seems to stop working, almost as if it is hung up. When I go to the ActiveSync window and tap Sync, it does absolutely nothing. Basically the only way i've found to get it to start working again is doing a soft reset.
Hopefully this will help you or other people out, because it took me FOREVER to figure this out. I am curious if anybody else is having problems with ActiveSync stopping responding with 6.1 also.
Same here
Hello,
I am having the same problem here.
I am using DCS 1.5 and windows Vista (Windows Mobilde Device Center). It has been working beautifully for a week..
But now I cannot connect the device to my computer through USB. When I do the charge led is on, but the device is not seen by vista.
I checked off "enable advanced network functionnality" in the USB to PC settings.... But nada!
Any help from otehrs would be appreciated.
Juju
I'm sorry, I might not have been clear. ActiveSync on the device hangs up, not on my computer. I haven't had any issues with ActiveSync on my computer so I think this is a different issue.

Sorry for the confusion, I thought you were talking USB since you mentionned the PC to USB thing. Still annoying though . I will repost in the DCS thread!
Direct push works without issues over AT&T's network on 3.0 Sleuth. My job depends on it working too. I've used it over MEdiaNet and My ISP connections although you need to be able to use my ISP to get it to work correctly (without 7minute delays). You can tell if its using the correct connection by waiting for direct push to connect after a reset then tapping on the big 3G icon. It should say its connected using My ISP (this assumes you let the connection wizard discover your provider and set you up of course).
The only difference between your settings and mine is that my email system uses SSL.
Certs aren't an issue if your exchange implementation doesn't need SSL.
I would really like to see the exact activesync error code you are getting btw.

It also happened to me on your newest 6.1 ROM Sleuth, thanks for chiming in here. I can only work on this issue during the weekend because come Monday I have to reflash to a working 6.0 ROM. I just reflashed with Dutty's newest 6.1 ROM and here are my updates (updated in first post also):
The ActiveSync error code that I originally got with all of the 6.1 ROMs is:
Result: Synchronization could not be completed. Try again later.
Support Code: 0x80830003

Thanks for all the help so far everyone.
Anyone else have any other ideas that I can try?
Have you tried not letting the network communication run and enter the att network connections manually. Just say No to configure your network config. I have had issues with the network communications auto setup.
1) Set up My Isp to use either wap.cingular or isp.cingular (depending on you data plan) and not setup the proxy.
2) Set up the work connection as medianet to use wap.cingular with the proxy setting
3) Set up MMS connection using the correct setting and using work connection (medianet) with proxy.
It really sounds like your issue is related to the network settings. If you look up your active sync error code on google all seem to point to the ATT proxy issues.
Good Luck

Everyone does not need to post that yes it does work. Mine works as well as 99% of other people. This thread is just for the OP and any others whose does not work.
Yes, It does work for 99% to 99.9% of people!

Thx but in that case error code would help. Because not working could come from many factor.
More strange is not working config when "upgrading" from WM6 to WM6.1 with STRICTsame config...
So if people could put more details it will help
The error code indicates that your exchange server is set to use client certs btw. Here's the exact recommendation to fix:
1. On the Exchange server, launch Internet Services Manager. Right click on the Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directory and choose Properties. Select the Directory Security tab. Click the Edit button in the Secure Communications section and select the option to “Ignore client certificates.”
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is a server-side fix though. If you're not the IT staff that did this, then you need to get them to give you the client cert again.
your upgrade to WM6.1 caused your client side cert to disappear. The cert store on WM6.1 contains different certs in the root store as well which could cause WM6.0 to have the cert your exchange server requires but not this beta version of WM6.1.
Exchange installations which require client side certs are very rare btw which is why everybody is saying "works great here". Generally, server certs are used instead (require SSL must be checked in this case)

Solved. Thanks for everybody's help on this issue. eagle 1's answer above helped me find out what was wrong.
It was a really simple solution, but I have never had to mess with any of these settings on any of my previous WM devices. The solution was: The "Connection Setup" wizard did not set up my connection settings correctly. I had to set BOTH "Programs that automatically connect..." drop down options in the advanced connection settings to MEdia Net.
Thanks again to everyone that helped out.
surprising that you got a 0x80830003 error instead of the more common 0x8500200B (failed to contact server) message
Hi Folks,
I was just wondering if there is come kind of blackberry emulation/client that runs on the pda.
Our IT won´t install the nessessary exchange tools that are required for Direct Push via Active Sync, but we do have blackberry in usage.
Is there another way of getting the mail via direct push?
Cheers

Seven software is the best BB alternative. It's beta, but works FANASTICALLY. Truly, I find it better than BB Connect for WM since it uses less battery AND can still use your normal data connection.
Get the software here: http://community.seven.com/forum/index.php?forum=true
Use the download link at the top of your screen. Depending on what email you are trying to have pushed, there are different configs. But if its just POP3, IMAP, or Yahoo, or Gmail, it works. It even has a solution if you have a corporate email that sits behind a firewall on your company's intranet.
I've been using it for 8 months, and its simply awesome.
Edit: BTW, if you really want true BB client, then search the Kaiser forum for Blackberry Connect. You'll find links to download it. It works, asusming you have a BB-compatible data plan. but like I said, its a memory and CPU hog, draining your battery about 10% per hour, even limited to Edge data, with intermittent (say 15 minute) polling periods.
Seven is real-time and even on 3G, doesn't suck the battery dry. And I'm not affiliated with Seven. My posts on their hep forum will prove that. But I recommend Seven to EVERYONE who wants push mail.
thanks
Thanks for the Info,
I found BB Connect in the meantime an also manage to get it installen on WM 6.1.
I´ll give the sother SW a try on the weekend.
Cheers

Have you managed to get BB Connect working? I've tried so many different versions and have not been able to get it to work. Everytime it establishes a connection and data tunnel it disconnects immediately. I haven't heard of anyone who's got this to work. I'm talking about Blackberry Enterprise. Check out this thread:
http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276
The Seven software mentioned above, that's not for BB Enterprise server, that's just for push mail correct?

Seven is a "competing product" to BB's suite. If you are trying to connect to a BB server, then yes, you'd need BBC. But if you are just trying to get your email delivered, whether it be personal, POP3, IMAP, or you corporate email (Exchange) and you are behind a firewall, then Seven has a solution for you. Some more elegant than others. But it works. For me, it's the only option since we do use Exchange, behind a firewall, with no OWA externally accessible and BBC's software is very juice hungry.
As for getting BBC to work. Without knowing your exact setup, its hard to know what the issue is. First, make sure you are on the right data plan. I.e. for AT&T you MUST be on one of their BB data plans. Otherwise, you won't be able to get to the blackberry.net APN needed. Then, make sure you have the BBC for WM software installed on your phone and PC. (There are 2 programs, one for each) Then, connect your phone to the PC as in ActiveSync. Run the PC's program. You should notice that ActiveSync connection is severed, and the BB program should find the phone. Then go to assign a PIN and it should. Then it shoudl start to pull email to your phone.
The second software you need to run on the PC is here:
http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=225
Click on the link for: ActiveSync_BBConnect_Desktop_Setup_4.0.0.17.zip
Because BBC uses a different APN than all other network access on your phone, and your phone can only connect to one APN at a time, you will not be able to do other things like surf via IE on your phone while you are connected to BBC (another reason it sucks).
There is a new version of BB client http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482411 , can somebody try it and let us know if it is working ?
anyone of you here using a proxy server in a university? when i move to a different building in the same university, i cannot browse anymore because it says "authentication via proxy server was unsuccessful".
our proxy server does not require auntentication.
android 3.2 from our tablet has already a built-in proxy settings, why is this happening to me when when i move to a different building with the same proxy server?
any help from this will be greatly appreciated.
thank you in advance.
I don't have any issues in my University using the WiFi =/
i dont know why it is happening to me? the tech from the university said maybe its due to number of devices accessing the wifi proxy at the same, thats why i cannot connect. but i had my rooted lg optimus black before and its running smoothly in the university's proxy server!
i think there is something wrong with android 3.2's wifi proxy?
There are wifi-related issues with some of the Galaxy Tab 7 Pluses, (namely the SOD,) but this one is new to me. I've never experienced it. Truth be told, the tech could be correct. The proxy server might have been refusing connections due to heavy load. Even if you think your phone and tablet are connecting at the same time, the phone could have made its request earlier and been the last allowed device, or if you connected after, could have taken up a spot that was just vacated by another device.
My question is then, is this an ongoing issue? By this I mean are you having this issue multiple times in the day, where your phone can connect just fine, but your tablet is throwing that error message?
thank you for your reply, rkmj!
yes, this is an ongoing issue up to now! i have been experiencing this for over a month already. when im the main library i can easily connect at the first time. but when i move to the other buildings within the same proxy server, with definitely different access points it always says:" authentication via proxy server is unsuccessful". i am using my rooted lg optimus black with this same positions in the university before, and it works flawlessly, so i doubt if it is with the heavy load?
so is there something wrong with the proxy setup of honeycomb 3.2?
