Exchange 2003 SP2 Push Email Problem - 0x80072F0D

Hi All,

I've got a problem setting up Push email on a Windows 2003 SP2, Exchange 2003 SP2 server.

I have set a few of these up in the past with no problems.

I have created a dns record called mobile.domainname.com and using IIS6, submitted a ssl certificate request for that domain to www.certificatesforexchange.com The certifcate got processed ok and installed on the server.

I can access the server via https://mobile.domainname.com/exchange and via https://mobile.domainname.com/oma and all appears to be ok from that point of view

When I try to setup the handheld device (ipaq 514 windows mobile 6) to connect to the server, it gives me the error code 0x80072F0D which I understand to be a certificate error.

I'm a bit confused because I have never had a problem with that provider before and from what I can see, the server is configured ok.

The one strange thing with this server is that originally it did not state that it had SP2 applied yet the option of 5 tick boxes was shown in default smtp virtual server, properties, advanced, edit whereas you normally see 3 tick boxes on an unpatched server. I re-applied SP2 and it now shows as sp2 being installed.

Are there any other causes of 0x80072F0D as I am 99.9% sure the certificate is ok and I know the phone is ok as it conencts to another server that has a certificate issued by www.certificatesforexchange.com (starfield).

Thanks in advance

Hi

Don't think its GoDaddy

The cert info is starfield - issuer info:-
SERIALNUMBER = xxxxx
CN = Starfield Secure Certification Authority
OU = http://certificates.starfieldtech.com/repository
O = Starfield Technologies, Inc.
L = Scottsdale
S = Arizona
C = US

I did get an intermediate cert from them which I didn't install tbh (never have before either) - I am going to bounce the server tonight and then I'll check the certs as you suggest.

Thanks,


Pete
Yeh, that's GoDaddy.  Install the intermediate cert.  It'll take you two minutes as opposed to waiting to bounce the box tonight and it will probably work fine.
Installed the intermediate cert succesfully but still get same error code on the handheld

Somewhere I think I have made things worse now :(  

Accessing http or https://domainname/exchange is ok but now when I access http or https://domainname/oma it asks for username and password then says:-

The website declined to show this webpage
 HTTP 403  
   Most likely causes:
This website requires you to log in.
 
   What you can try:
     Go back to the previous page.
 
     More information

This error (HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but it does not have permission to view the webpage.

For more information about HTTP errors, see Help.

Yet, if I take the tick out of SSL on the handheld it syncs!!

Think I need to bounce it!!
Does OMA work from a regular desktop browser when SSL is setup?

See link below and check out method #3.
