Hello,

I have exchange 2003 (only exchange server). I think I have followed all the KB I can find and I'm still getting this error when I test the connection.

      Checking for application ................. OK
      Checking version ......................... OK (6.5.7638.1)
      Checking protocols ....................... OK (1.0,2.0,2.1,2.5)
User Permissions:
      Checking "domain/administrator" ............ FAIL

Result:
      ActiveSync detected, but access denied. [HTTP 403: Disabled for this user]

      Additional Details
       Exchange ActiveSync returned an HTTP 500 response.
Ah - the dreaded HTTP 500 error.

Can you please follow the HTTP 500 error section of my article and first run through KB883380 (delete and re-create the Exchange IIS virtual Directories) method 2 is often the easiest.  The re-test.  If the error still appears - keep going through my article.

Check IIS settings very carefully please.

I will go through your post and obscure your domain name / IP Address to protect your identity in a sec.
