Outlook Mobile Access

IThe System error was said on the computer whereas on the Mobiles it said Access Denied.

thnks

I wonder if it's an issue with using SSL and if the browser on he phone is capable of SSL connections.  Might be worth trying it over a normal http connection.  I've not tried it with https but mine works fine over http.

When I try Http it says that The page must be viewed over a secure channel, so its definitely https.  I'm not quite sure how to take it off the secure connection.  If you could help that'll be great.

Thanks

Browse to the OMA directory using regular Internet Explorer with friendly http error messages disabled. See what the error is.

You also need to remove the REQUIRE SSL setting on the /exchange, /oma and /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync directory as they are incompatible. This doesn't stop you using SSL, just means that you cannot force SSL.
Easy way to force the users to use SSL is to block port 80 on the firewall.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the quick response.  I've managed to take off SSL.  Now when I use http I get the same error message saying

'  A System error has occurred while processing your request. Please try again. If the problem persists, contact your administrator'

On the phone it still says Access Denied.

Check the authentication and application pool settings.

Authentication

/exchange: Integrated and Basic ONLY.
/exchweb: Anonymous ONLY.
/exadmin: Integrated ONLY.
/OMA: Basic ONLY.
/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync: Integrated and Basic ONLY.

Application Pool:

/exchange - ExchangeApplicationPool*
/exchweb - ExchangeApplicationPool*
/exadmin - ExchangeApplicationPool*
/public  - ExchangeApplicationPool*
/oma - ExchangeMobileBrowseApplicationPool
/Exchange-Server-ActiveSync - ExchangeApplicationPool

* will probably show ExchangeApplicationPool but greyed out.

Hello Simon,

This has been checked and is exactly how it is displayed above.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

In ESM, Global Settings, Mobile Settings, ensure that every box is enabled.
Make sure that you are using the correct version of asp.net - 1.1 and not version 2.0 - that is checked, confirmed in IIS Manager.

Hi Simon,

I only have three options.  Internet Message Formats, Message Delivery,  Mobile Services.  In Mobile Services it is empty.  When I click new,  Mobile Carrier it asks me for a name and smtp domain.  I don't which Smtp domain I should put in there.

It should be empty.
Right click on Mobile Services in the left column and choose Properties. That will give you the options you need.
Ignore the Mobile Carrier stuff - that is for AUTD which is old technology.

Hi Simon,

I've noticed that 'Enable Outlook Mobile Access' was not ticked so I have done that.  But I still can't access it via the weband this time the Mobile phone says Page cannot be found.  With Regards to checking the version of ASP.NET how do I check that in IIS manager.

thanks

On the Properties of the web site and the virtual folders is a tab "asp.net". That lists the version in use. If there is multiple versions installed then you may have a choice. Exchange uses 1.1.

Simon.

Simon,

The ASP.NET version is 1.1 and I still have the same issues.

Anything in the event viewer around the time of the attempted login?

What happens when you browse tot he OMA virtual directory with Internet Explorer on your desktop with "Show Friendly HTTP Error Message" turned off?

Simon.

Simon,

Sorry I didn't turned that off.  Could you tell me how to do that.

Thanks  

Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Advanced. Buried in there somewhere.

Simon

I've taken off the "Show Friendly HTTP Error Message", this time it asks for username and password but still displays the same thing after that

"A System error has occurred while processing your request. Please try again. If the problem persists, contact your administrator"

Is there anything in the server's event viewer at the time you attempt that? Authentication or permission error?

Simon.
