Outlook Anywhere rejects correct login and writes Event 4625 in Security log

Hi,

I have an issue where one of our users cannot login to his Exchange account. He is connecting via Outlook Anywhere and using the correct credentials, but his login is refused.  In the security event log there are multiple event 4625 "an account failed to log on" errors.  An example is attached.  I have setup a test Outlook profile from another external location and that works fine for me.  When I deliberately enter the wrong credentials in my test environment the 4625 error looks different!  See Additional info below.

OS is SBS 2008.  Exchange 2007 SP 2 Roll-up 2.

Any suggestions welcome!

Is the user a member of a built in administrative group?
Could you check this setting here: http://alanhardisty.wordpress.com/2010/03/05/activesync-not-working-on-exchange-2010-when-inherit-permissions-not-set/

Does it work OK for other users?
They are a member of the Domain Admins & Enterprise Admins. It works fine for other users.  And it works fine when I use his credentials in my test setup.
Can you check the blog post I posted above.
There is a known issue and this should help to resolve it.
Thanks demazter.  I have followed the recommendations in the post; I removed him from any Admin roles, plus I checked the "Include Inheritable Permissions From This Object’s Parent" option.

He's on an airplane right now.  Hopefully when he touches down we'll see an improvement!  I'll let you know.
maybe he is playing wid you by not entering the right password lol
