I've done this a number of times on SBS 2003, but now I have to setup a Windows Mobile 5 device to sync with Exchange 2003. This is Exchange running on 2003 Server Standard, not SBS.
I have created a self-signed certificate on the Exchange server.
I can login to
https://servername/exchange and use OWA.
I can login from the WM5 device and use OWA.
I have exported the certificate (using a variety of methods) and installed it on the WM5 device.
I can go to certificates on the WM5 device, click on the Root tab and see the certificate.
Every time I try to sync with the Exchange server, I receive a 80072F0D error. Everything I find about this error indicates the certificate is invalid on the server, but the certificate works fine for OWA.
I've tried a Cingular 8125 and the MS Pocket PC Emulator. I get the same error on both.
Can anyone out there offer any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this error?
It seems like you have a cert with intermediate root certificates. You will have to trust the whole chain of certs in order for AS to work fine. To do so, Open IIS --> Default Web Site --> Properties --> Directory Security --> View Certificate.
In the cert, click on the Certification Path tab. You will have to click on each and every level on the path (typically certs) and click on view certs. Go to details tab and use the copy to a file. Save all the certs and trust them in the device. Test Activesync.
Thanks,
