Hoping one of the brilliant minds here has some idea how to handle this.
I have a VM that contains all of my work data and an Apache phone. Outlook on the VM syncs with an exchange server. Since Remote Desktop does not allow USB connections, I have no way to connect the PDA to the VM. I have no VPN access directly to the exchange server. I do have admin rights on the VM.
Looking for a way to sync data from VM to internet then wifi sync from internet to Apache. Preferably without using VZW Wireless Sync. Any other methods that will work would be fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Daring
By VM I assume you mean Virtual Machine. I also assume you can access your email through a web browser. There may be a way for this to work if you don't, however.
If you have Microsoft Activesync on the phone you should be able to add the exchange server and then send the files you need in an email to yourself. When that email syncs to your phone you can download it.
Open ActiveSync
Go to Menu -> Add Server Source
Add your server address (for me it was mail.mycompany.com)
If you have a certificate, press Next, otherwise uncheck the SSL checkbox and then press Next.
Enter your username and password and domain name, then press next.
Press Finish.
If your connected to WiFi it should automatically begin Syncing.

Hi Guys,
I have a fair number of Orange E650's which connect to my Exchange server via GPRS/3G (Orange Internet).
Theyve been working fine for months until this week we moved our mail server to another site. Nothing at all has changed on the server, only its address.
Outlook Web Access works fine, which is what ActiveSync uses to sync with the server, but for some reason I now get this error.
I can use IE on the phones to access OWA with no problems, but when ActiveSync tries to connect it just gives me this error.
If I use the wrong username and password it comes back to me to verify them so it must be contacting the server to verify the credentials, therfore it can be a DNS or Cache problem.
I've just done a hard reset on one of the phones and get the same issue when I setup the email account.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I have the AT&T Fuze with the stock ROM. I purchased it the first day it came out. I think this was 11/11/2008. I have the PDA Personal plan for unlimited data. I have things set up so that my contacts and email synch with our Exchange server. I can remote desktop from my Fuze using the data network to any machine that I can remote to from my computer, so from that, I am thinking VPN must be configured correctly. On one of these machines that I connect to, I have IIS running and put a very simple web page on it (no script, nothing IE specific). From my work computer, it loads fine. I can remote desktop from my Fuze to any machine on the network and launch IE and load it. But, I can't load it directly from my Fuze in either Opera or IE. It does initiate the VPN connection. But, then I get the error HTTP gateway timed out. I'm really not interested in viewing the page that I created. We use Perforce, which is source control system. It has a jobs portion, which we use to track bugs. There is a web interface to the jobs, which is on the intranet, not internet. I don't have rights to remote to the Perforce server, and that is why I initially tried putting a simple page on a machine that i am an admin on. I want to be able to click on a link in my email and have it load the bug in Opera. If I am home and turn on WiFi, and disable the data network, this works fine. This bypasses AT&T's machines, which makes me think there is something that AT&T is blocking. And if they are, then maybe it is the AT&T bloat this is telling them what it is. Our IT guy has verified that I am successfully VPNing in. He is seing the mycingular.net in the firewall.
My boss has the same phone, but purchased more recently, and his is working fine for this. He has flashed the new AT&T test ROM, and done the thing that keeps the AT&T bloat from getting installed.
The fact that remote desktop works, but browsing a webpage on the same machine does not, makes me think there is more to this than just network settings.
If anyone has the anwer to this, please share. If I find the answer, I will post it is well. I have extensively searched the forum for the answer to this, and have not found anything that worked. If I have missed something, I appologize.
Sort of works now, still have an issue
After going to the proxy tab, and checking that This network connects to the Internet and checking the check box that this network uses a porcy server to connect to the internet. Then specify the server. Then go to Advanced and change the HTTP port to 8080 instead of just 80. I also put the user id, password and Domain in on the proxy for HTTP.
But I get prompted for a user id and password from the proxy erveer. I have entered it and clicked the checkbox to save it. It does not display the same info that I entered the next time and it does not display what was entered on the HTTP proxy page. It is a drop down, and I can select the correct one. It's just annoying to need to. I'd like to clear this cache.
Also, to initially get it working I had to disable HSDPA and HSUPA, restart. Then reenable it. I have the registry on my Fuze which give me the menu option on the Advanced network tab to do this.
Figured out how to clear the cache issue - still prompts
The cache was a setting in Opera for passwords.
It still asks for the password. At least it is prefilled with the correct info, since I now only have the one entry, so it is just 1 click, but I should not need to do this step.
Any one know what I need to do to fix this.
If I try to load it in IE, it just tries but never succeeds and never asks for a password, just says Opening.
Connections
Why should I need to set this to connect to the Internet, and use the ISA server? I would think if it needs to connect to the internet, it should be able to just use the Media Net
My Media Net Settings are
Modem -
Name - Modem
Media Net - wap.cingular
Advanced shows the modem in the drop down list as Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
The drop down is disabled
Next
Access Point Nam - wap.cingular
Next
User name - [email protected]
don't know what the password is. I've never changed it.
Domain is blank
Next
TPC/IP
Use server - assigned IP address is selected
Use software compression and use IP header compression are checked.
Use slip is not checked and the checkbox is disabled
Servers
Use Servr Assigned addresses is selected
So DN,Alt DNS, WINS, and ALT WINS are disabled.
Proxy Settings
This network connects to the internet
This networks uses a proxy server to connect to the internet is not checked.
More info and additional question
Navigating to some intranet sites does not prompt me for the isa server.
such as http://machine/virtdir/Default.aspx
seems to work without being prompted
but
http://perforcemachine:8080/@md=d&cd=//&[email protected]//?ac=107&mx=25
prompts me for the password.
Also, in order to get either of these links to work, I need to have in my exceptions:
*.companyname.com/*
Where companyname is the actual companyname.
This is annoying because it makes it connect to the VPN when synching with the exchange server. Before I want on the quest to get these links to intranet sites to work, I synched with the exchange server without connecting to the VPN.
I've tried putting in isa.companyname.com in the exceptions, but that doesn't work.
Is there a way to do *.companyname.com/* except mail.companyname.com?
I suspect all of this is in the registry somewhere.
Well actualy it works, i think. I manage to get to my Login screen where it asks for password, but it keeps saying username/password wrong. And that cant be cus im loged in with the same password right now.
Doesnt make any sense, what am i doing wrong?

try to log off pc then logon from phone.
Remote desktop, using Remote Desktop Mobile?
If it hasn't been done already you'll want to activate RDP on your PC (Using Windows 7, PC Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings (on the left) > "Remote control" tab, check "Allow connection from devices using any version of Remote Desktop (less secure)")
If it already has been activated then I'm not sure.
Obviously you need to be on the same network and point it to the correct address, but logging in from a remote desktop automatically logs out from any local session. At least that's what it does here.
Sorry if it didn't help.
best way to try this is be on your WiFi network at home, Put in the Ip address of the PC you want to use then the username and password.
This works on mine ok
so it can only be used in the home network ?
I mean....using a different wi-fi access doesn' t work?
Make sure you have a password set for the user account you are trying to log on with. If you haven't set a password it will give invalid password error.
I have some issues setting this up. I write the following. Please let me know if i type it wrong:
Computer: Name of my computer
User: Username
Password: Password that i use to loggin to my computer
Domain: My home networks IP.

If you can't connect using the computer name, try using the IP address of your computer. Unless the computer you wish to connect to is part of a network domain, you can leave that field blank.
If you're trying to connect via a WAN (Internet) connection then you'll need to have IIS installed on your PC and configured on your router/firewall.

thanks! works fine, but the sound is horrific. any way to fix that?
I have enabled RDP on my PC yes, and i dont see the point of doing remote desktop from my wifi network, i can just aswell go ahead and use the computer then.
I have a data flatrate on my phone im going away for a week and i wanted to have access to my pc over the internet.
I typed in my IP adress in the Computer field
My Login Username into User Name field
My Login Password into Password field
Domain i left empty because i dont realy know what am i suposed to write there.
It gets me to my login screen of the PC, where i have to putin my password again for my only PC account. I type it in and it says wrong username/password.
And yeah i have tried loging out on the pc first, still the same thing.
Right click on "My Computer" and select properties. Go to the tab called "Computer Name" and look what it says is the "Full computer name". That is what you need in domain name.
So, you have the external IP address of your PC (don't forget, this will probably change with a router reboot), your username & password, and then the domain name from above.
That should do the trick, but let us know if it doesn't.
Still says username/password wrong. Ive even changed the pasword to something realy simple with no Y or Z because maybe the keyboard might be set to english/german or something. Ive also opened the Port in my router. Im out of ideas. Im not on the new updated rom btw, still the preinstalled one, but i dont think that should matter.
Thanks for your help.
Uhm, let me get this straight: You are trying to use RDC from somewhere outside your own network at home where your computer resides?
Check these things:
1. Make sure that you have opened RDP in your router and forward to the correct IP-adress (your computer).
2. If you have any sort of firewall installed (F-secure, Norton, ZoneAlarm etc etc), make sure you have opened the port for incoming connections to port 3389 and also that you havent set it for a specific IP (the one you are connecting from, not your computer).
3. If you do see the loginscreen you have enabled the service, otherwise you wouldnt see it at all (doh...). RDC-service doesnt allow blank passwords (unless you know how to hack the service) so you must have a password set for the user you are trying to login as. That user must also be listed in the Remote Desktop Users-list (My computer -> right click -> Properties -> Remote sessions tab -> Users-button).
4. If you have a domain at home (ie with a server that serves as a domaincontroller etc), then you need to fill out that domainname, otherwise LEAVE IT BLANK, you ONLY need to fill out the username and password, nothing else.
5. If you are on a domain and cant login, try login to "Local computer" instead of domainname, RDP might be blocked by the domainpolicies.
6. Try to do this from a computer first, not from your phone... RDC in winmo is a... "RDC Light" really.
This works fine for me, use it both at work and at home... and i work as a network-tech & admin

There must be more to this than meets the eye, because I am on a workgroup on my home PC, and I have to put the PC name in as the domain, or I can't connect.
It'll obviously do no harm to try it both ways.
Edit:
I just tried it and it works both with and without. It actually worked when I put rubbish in there that relates to absolutely nothing. I guess that means if you're not part of a domain, it doesn't matter what you put in there.
here is my problem:
I would like to connect to my laptop from local network. I can connect perfectly when I type in my IP address into the first textbox (Computer), but I can't connect when I type in my Computer Name (full computer name) into Computer. I tried port forwarding, leaving domain name empty, putting in my workgroup name as a domain, putting in my computer name as a domain, still the same. It won't connect unless I put in the IP address. I would like to do this since my workplace assigns a different IP to my laptop then I assign at home, but naturally I have the same computer name at both places, so I would like to have a permanent setting for both places. Thanks in advance.
I have a problem with several Android phones, in that I need to change the Exchange server name. They have all worked fine externally over 3G as the server name they seem to have been set up with (e.g. domain.com) resolves to the external IP address of the network, which serves Exchange and web servers etc.
However we now need to connect them internally via a WiFi network but on the internal network the web servers and Exchange are on different servers, so domain.com resolves to the web servers and mail.domain.com resolves to Exchange. As mail.domain.com also resolves to the same IP as domain.com externally, they should have been set up with mail.domain.com from the start, but only now we are needing to connect via WiFi is the problem showing up.
Anyway, long explanation, short question: how do I change the server name, as from the Edit Account screen the Server Address box is greyed out?
Im trying to connect my Infuse to a ms exchange server. The phone is running 2.2 and is not rooted. I have selected setup a new mail account. I have put in the following:
[email protected]password
Then I hit "manual setup" and selected ms exchange server.
Then for "domain\username" i have sunsetcorp\username
Password is entered
for "exchange server" I have mail.sunset.corp
Then I also have use secure connection and accept all ssl certificates checked.
Its says "checking incoming server settings". Then I get "Setup could not finish ... unable to connect to server"
Do I the settings wrong or am I missing something?
Looks like u have it set ok. I have to do [email protected]/password and run it multiple times to get it to sync the first time. Keep trying its not perfect at all. You can also try droidmail if u still can't get it

I would ask your IT dept. for the exact server information to be sure you are inputting the correct server info. Everything else is good to go in your setup so it has to be the server name is not correct causing the failed connection.

Take out the domain setup all together.
I run SBS 2003 and you do not need to set up the domain. I run the following on dozens of phones.......
Domain/Username (must be exact usually with no spaces)
Password (case sensitive)
Exchange Server (mail.yourcompany.com)
uncheck Use secure connection (You can check it later if you wish after you have it working)
Hope this helps! If so please hit the thanks button for me!
For the exchange server try using the IP address of the server. This is the only way I could get mine to work.
This sounds silly, but have you ever connected another phone to this server? That setting isn't always available. Also, I've found the / or \ can make a huge difference. Also, check to make sure you are using the primary email account and not a secondary alias for the username. The email address can be an alias but username has to be the actual NT username. Hope that helps!

Have been using Exchange for years and work very closely with our Exchange guy's and the username must be Domain\Username if you are on a 2003 box and usually but not always the username on 2007/2010 would be the email address but the Domain\Username should also work according to the experts. If you are using Active Sync which we are I am pretty sure that SSL is a requirement because it connects to Exchange using RPC over HTTP protocol and requires SSL being enabled. Like I said a quick call to your IT people should get it working toot sweet.

I use SBS2003 and do not have the domain name. User name only. (the domain username though) Been working for years that way. mail server is the important one to have the domain address correct in. mail.xxxxxxx.com
If I put the domain name in front of the username it does not connect.....
I suddenly have a problem after loading Zeus. My external SD card is working fine then when I set up the exchanger server and get my mail working it wants to encrypt the SD card (according to company policy)
Now I no longer have access to the SD card, it says cannot mount or format and I if I remove the exchange account I get the SD card back.

Mine is doing the exact same thing. I loose the external SD card and I get it back if I remove the exchange account.
Any ideas??
I still cannot figure out why I loose my external SD card.I have re imaged the phone, changed sd-cards.. no fix in sight
