Configure SBS 2003 new install to connect to Droid phone
My Droid (and before that a Windows 6.1 HTC Touchpro 2) sync’d with SBS 2003 Exchange Server just fine.
My SBS2003 server got screwed up. I completely reinstalled. I changed the Internal Domain name. I kept the @myserver.net. Outlook on my workstations are working properly.
However, when I try to configure Touchdown with the newserver\myname, Droid hangs up on “initializing Activesync”.
I’m not sure where to start looking. IIS, Web Site, Default Website, seems to have an Activesync entry.
I need to be walked thru checking/configuring the server so OMA, IIS, etc. etc. will push and allow the Droid to send thru the server.
Thoughts?

I split points. BTW, I used Kroll OnTrack and was able to pull content from priv.edb and pub.edb (without logs) directly in the Exchange Mailboxes of my users (logged in as them) AND directly into the public folder by copy/paste either OF the subfolders or the content (items) in a top level folder. Simple to use.

OOps, please ignore last post. Wrong open question.

I created a test administrator account.
In the activesync test, I first chose "Use Autodiscover to detect settings". I tried both MY email address and the Test email address. Both generated this report. The IEP address of 216. etc is NOT the IP address of my router.
Second test further below.

if 24.249.206.138 is your router IP address, then you are right, you need the certificate.
your mobile need to setup to use SSL.
i know iphone and some phone can ignore the SSL. so you might want to try that before you buy a godaddy cert

I bought and installed a Cert for mail.xxxxx.net. I have tried ignoring and not ignoring SSL on my PDA. I then try to connect with two PDA apps, Touchdown and Moxier Mail. Touchdown goes into limbo trying to refresh the Activsync connection (it used to work before I had to completely reinstall SBS2003). Moxier Mail gives me a message to the Activesync version on the server might be too old. That doesn't make sense to me at all.
I have run dcdiag and passed all tests.
I checked Mobile in Exchange and Global settings allows all users to use Activesync.
I have another question open 27036713that MIGHT be related to this. I thought that the problem was SSL related, but I don't think that's the case so ignore the title.
Overall, there are errors in the event log (27036713). There's a PDA (activesync?) problem. If they're related, I can't tell. Hence, two posts.

http://servername/oma brings me to some website, not mine.
http://mail.servername.net/oma takes me to a login dialog. Logging gets " Item no longer exists. The item you are attempting to access may have been deleted or moved."
But isn't OMA used when there is a front end/back end? and Isn't Exchange-OMA what SBS 2003 creates as the virtual directory?
Trying https://mail.servername.net/exchange-oma puts me (without a login name which worries me!!!!) into OWA. (As does https://mail.servername.net/exchange but that asks for id and password).
#1 How do I configure http://mail.servername.net/exchange-oma so it requires a Login?
Will try the analyzer.

Touchdown received Calendar entries, but I can't seem to add, edit or delete FROM the TD. Delete is strange. It deletes on the Droid, but then has it pushed back onto the Droid rather than deleting from the Server.
Mail got and gets nothing. But sending from the TD appears in the mailbox on the workstation.

Correction - it is syncing using its Exchange 2003 option, not with Activesync. Mozier Mail does not have that option and so can't sync at all.
after you install the support pack, testexchangeconnectivity still have the same error message?
i reckon you need to reinstall the IIS again ... something really wrong there...
one question worth asking is how do you rebuild your windows? do you build from scratch or build from previous backup?

ExRCA failed to contact the Autodiscover service using the DNS SRV redirect method.

THEN, suspecting that SBS2003 does not have Autodiscover, I tried "Manual".

I'm not using Webservice.
Now that I've matched my internal domain name xxxxxx.local to my external xxxxxx.net, a Godaddy SSL cert is cheap. I plan on doing that. Do you think that the missing Cert, even a self cert is the cause?
In the activesync test, I first chose "Use Autodiscover to detect settings". I tried both MY email address and the Test email address. Both generated this report. The IEP address of 216. etc is NOT the IP address of my router.
Second test further below.
I created a test administrator account.
