i am able to pass the exchange verefication during the account setup but then it shows me only

here is a log from the exchange SMTP log
/exchange/testactivesynch@CHDIFoundation.org/NON_IPM_SUBTREE/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/iPhone/Appl81835MKDY7H - 80 - 192.168.69.94 Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/6.5.7638.1 401 2 5
2009-03-12 00:02:28 W3SVC1 192.168.69.94 POST /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync User=testactivesynch&DeviceId=Appl81835MKDY7H&DeviceType=iPhone&Cmd=FolderSync&Log=V4TNASNC:0A0C0D0FS:0A0C0D0SP:1C1I469S592R0S0L0H0P 443 testactivesynch  Apple-iPhone/508.11 500 0 0

i have checked the config on the oma folder within the IIS, i have found that "enable anonumous access" is un checked, is that the right config?
i got an error msg when i tried to browse http:\\servername/oma ,also i would like to mention that there is a certificate installed on both owa and oma issued by CA(not self cert)

please advice

The iPhone is a really poor choice for diagnosing these problems due to the way Apple have implemented the protocol.
If you are getting an error from OMA then that is not a good sign. What error are you receiving?

What I have been finding is that resetting the virtual directories is the quickest way to get it working: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=883380

I would also suggest testing the site using the Microsoft's test site and a test account.
