Configure Exchange 2003 to use iPhones without affecting OWA users
I have a limited understanding of exchange, every single document and guide so far i have found on the network is past my understanding. I'm looking for more of a step by step where to go guide to set this up.
--FACTS--
Exchange is behind a firewall
iphone ports have been opened
50% of users connect via OWA and connect be affected
50% of users connect via Outlook on the local network
Only 1 exchange server (i don't understand this front end back end stuff)
Emails are downloaded from our ISP via a exchange POP downloaded program (3rd party)
Blackberry users have no issues connecting
all users names contain spaces in them
---------
How do i go about configuring this exchange properly? I 'think' im looking to setup an IMAP connection? unable to properly connect via iphone or windows mail (figure its all the same, used as testing)
Exchange Event
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Server ActiveSync
Event Category: None
Event ID: 3031
Date: 7/8/2009
Time: 10:28:45 AM
User: DOMAIN\USER NAME
Computer: SERVERNAME
Description:
The mailbox server [SERVERNAME.DOMAIN.COM] does not allow "Negotiate" authentication to its [exchange] virtual directory. Exchange ActiveSync can only access the server using this authentication scheme. For information about how to configure Exchange virtual directory settings, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 817379, "Exchange ActiveSync and Outlook Mobile Access errors occur when SSL or forms-based authentication is required for Exchange Server 2003". For information about how to properly configure IIS to support Kerberos and NTLM authentication, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 215383, "How To Configure IIS to Support Both Kerberos and NTLM Authentication". This issue may occur after installing Windows SharePoint Services on a server running Exchange Server 2003. For information about how to properly configure a server to run both Windows SharePoint Services and Exchange Server 2003, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 823265, "You receive a "Page not found" error message when you use Outlook Web Access (OWA) to browse the Exchange Server 2003 client after you install Windows SharePoint Services".
However i do not understand the documents on the Microsoft site
Windows Mail Error
Windows Mail
Your IMAP server has closed the connection. This may occur if you have left the connection idle for too long.

yet i am populating correct information when connecting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The world is slowing down ;-)
Funnymanmike - Open up your Application Event Logs (Start, Run, [type] eventvwr.exe and press enter)
Check for Activesync Errors in the event source and report back with the Event ID's please.

Hi,
Can you confirm whether or not you are using Forms based authentication for your OWA users.
You will know this if when they connect to OWA they received a nice logon screen with logon (default has a nice dark blue background). If not then they will receive the standard IE login box, where the users woluld type in the UPN or domain\user and there password.
If forms based auth is enabled it causes trouble with active sync and we can then step you through getting this sorted...

Okay - so the Exchange virtual directory has SSL enabled - disable this (steps similar to my last post)
Ok, Forms based auth could be causing the problem as well as the other stuff. 500 Errors on active sync are often related to this.
Suggest you give this guide a read through if you are still having troubles after you have unchecked the SSL.
The two things that look like they are a problem on your setup is the Forcing of SSL on the Exchange VDirectory and FBA. These are classic troubles when setting up active sync..
