ActiveSync 0x85010014 over the air

Hi gang,

I've got a client, who is using a Verizon mobile phone running Windows Mobile 6 on it.   We set it up so that he could connect to the Exchange Server over the air.   The server is a Windows 2003 SBS machine running Exchange 2003.  

Everything was working perfectly.   Until he decided he wanted to back up his files onto his PC.   So when he connected the PC USB Cable, he set up a second sync source (the PC).  

Now when he tries to ActiveSync over the air, we get an error code: 0x85010014

We tried deleting both sync sources and recreating the Exchange sync, but it didn't fix the problem.
We took it down to Verizon and tried a hard reset of the phone, but again it didn't fix the problem.  Verizon even tried configuring some brand new phones, but it didn't work, so they are saying the problem is on our end. But our end WAS working, so I don't really think it's a problem with the Exchange Server.

Anyone got any ideas?   It's really frustrating him.

/Exchange has SSL required in IIS?

ASKER

I tried it both ways, with required SSL turned on, and then tried turning it off.  It didn't work either way.   So I turned it back on again.

Yes, but it didn't work when I turned it off either.

Plus the sync was working before.

Double check your server settings against this document from alanhardisty: http://www.it-eye.co.uk/faqs/readQuestion.php?qid=1

there is no need to make any registry changes to make this work.

If your using a self signed SSL certificate then you will run in to problems. Godaddy.com have some great offers on SSL certificates at the moment.

If you don't have an SSL Certificate and you turn SSL on then it won't work!

  Tell me more about this issue and how to resolve it
 Additional Details
 Exchange ActiveSync returned an HTTP 500 response.
It did turn out to be KB817379.
Which really makes no sense, because it WAS working about 2 months ago.   I have no idea what changed, but after going through the KB again, it started working again.  So I'm confused.  But as long as it's working I'm fine...

Thanks Guys.
