The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Another "connection to server failed" msg - iphone

Asked by charma in Exchange Email Server, iPhone, Internet & Email Software

Tags: Apple, iPhone, 2.2, activesync, connection to server failed

I recognize a number of similar posts exist and apologize if I've overlooked the answer but I am not able to sync my iphone with our corporate email that uses MS Exchange.  I have been trying to get it to work ever since the Exchange option was added and have never had any success.  After months of banging my head against the wall I gave up and switched to a BB Storm.  At that point, we determined the problem was with my exchange setup as I had an alias that kept me from successfully syncing.  Our IT guy deleted and reset my account and I was then able to sync with the BB.  Unfortunately - I hated the BB and decided that since it was on our end, I'd go back to the iPhone.  While I am now able to set up the exchange account on the phone and the setup tells me the account is configured - when I try to pull email I get a "connection to server failed" error message.  On the few times I didn't get this message, it instead showed that it was connecting, then updated, but didn't pull any data in.

I have deleted and re-setup the account several times, reset the phone settings, deleted all rules in  Outlook, tried it with and without the domain name and am still not able to set up the account.  I'd REALLY appreciate any insights anyone can offer.  Our IT guy is less than thrilled that I'm using the iphone and really isn't familiar with them anyway.  On the server side, I can tell you that we are running Exchange 2003 SP2 with a self-created certificate.  The Exchange server is a single appl server in that Exchange is the only thing running on it.  Everything worked when I pulled email on the blackberry & I can access owa on the web.  Not sure what else to add in terms of configurations but again, am very appreciative of any suggestions you all may have!  Thanks!
