Let me just start by saying that I have no affiliation with the company I am about to pass recommend.

I read through most of this blog and tried every suggestion I could use to no avail.

I like many of you am an administrator of a small network. I have about 75 clients and am about to deploy 15 iphones. For the last month I have struggled with trying to get my Iphone active and accepting and syncing mail to no avail. Blackberries worked straight from the get go.

I found this blog and read down post after post hoping to find something that would get my phone working. Finally at post # 157 by Robert, he made the suggestion to go to the following link : http://iphone-activesync.net/?page_id=16 I went there and decided to make the call. It was the best $175 I spent!

It took creating a cert via IIS self cert (download from Microsoft), about 12 changes to my server settings in Exchange manager, a registry edit and opening port 443 on my router. After doing all that, deleting the previous attempt at a mail account and doing it all over again, it worked flawlessly! In fact mail will sometimes hit my phone before it hits my outlook!

So long story short, you may have to spend a few bucks to get it to work, but it will be well spent and you will be happily on your way to deploying your fleet of iphones.

His configuration had me use the shortened version of my owa access. IE, mail.company.com without the /exchange at the end. This boils down to how your particular exchange box is configured. Any variations there in lie in those settings.

I am on my way to deploying my 15 phones thanks to the work of the people at TechnoKOZ. Many thanks again to Robert #157 for passing that along!

I am running SBS 2003 with SP. I was confusing the SP2 upgrade on the SERVER 2003 OS with the integrated Exchange SP2! I downloaded Exchange 2003 SP2 and the #@!$ING thing works now! THANKS! I have been working on this for two days and was thinking about going back to my BJII with Windows Mobile 6...at least it worked. Thanks again!</p> Comment #144 by John H. was right on!

The issue I have, as follows. I have a new iphone 3gs. I want to use my exhcnage email from work on the iphone. However company I work for only support blackberrys and I dont qualify for one. I have asked for the settings which they say they cant give as they dont support iphones. So I figured to do it myself. The issue is I dont know how to get the server address. i do have desktop Exchange at work computer and wonder whether or not this can help with getting this server address? Equally I dont know the domain address. How can I find this out anyone?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> Hello all Some very good comments here but none which can answer my question.

There is lots of great stuff here, but I have a slightly different issue. I am able to connect to OWA (Exchange 2007) through Safari (Exchange Sync is blocked by IT), but it only provides 'light' version access. I need regular access to a public calendar which is accessed through the "all folders" tabe in Outlook and OWA (when accessed through IE). I seem to have no access to the same through Safari. Any ideas?</p> Hmmm. There is lots of great stuff here, but I have a slightly different issue.
