Environment:
Windows 2003 Active Directory Exchange 2003 - with Front End and Back End servers with ssl on FE
Environment works great for clients and OWA users. Last April two users got treo 700's - worked great until August. Suddenly the devices stopped working with 0x85910014 error on the treo side
and server side error.
Category - None
Event ID - 3005
Description - Unexpected Exchange mailbox Server error: Server:
[server.domain.local] User: [user@domain.co.nz] HTTP status code:
[501]. Verify that the Exchange mailbox Server is working correctly.
The solution is to have a front end server! according to microsoft support.microsoft.com/kb/8

But we already have one and no clue to why it suddenly stopped being a solution and now is part of the problem.
So I have applied all sorts of solutions including creating a new virtual directory for non ssl traffic but these solutions NEVER say which server to apply them to - I have been applying them to the FE since that is where the errors appear and the level they are not getting past.
so I have been messing around with this for a month and no solution. Treo's still display the same error.
I have one more "ideas" on my desk - found in various threads - to delete the users mail box (we are talking administrators with thousands of email messages (a week before school starts) bad enough the treos don't work - now I have to take the only way they can get their email out of service - not a popular solution - and I would like to avoid it - it seems drastic - the solution to fix an email problem is to delete the email??
What I would like is to understand the problem enough to fix it - so I don't put anyone to any unnecessary bother usually if I can get the error to budge I can narrow in on it.
I have tried:

and
http://www.mail-archive.com/exchange@intm-dl.sparklist.com/msg18583.htmlON BOTH
Nothing
I appreciate any suggestions you can offer
