Exchange 2003 active sync OWA HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

Hello,  
To start everything was working fine until about 8PM Sunday night.  For the past year our windows mobile 6.x phones have been syncing with no errors.  
Then it just stopped.  No updates or anything were done to the Frontend or backend exchange servers.  Also the mobile phones are the only thing not working.  OWA and https over RDP for outlook looks fine.  

Both servers are exchange 2003 SP2 with all service packs.  

On the windows mobile phone I get this error in the logs
