failure recreating ActiveSync Virtual Directory (Exchange 2010 SP1)
Originally, based on MS direction, I tried recreating the ActiveSync VD in EMS by running:
=>Remove-ActiveSyncVirtual
=>IISRest
=>New-ActiveSyncVirtualDir
=>IISReset
Failed !
Situation now:
1) In EMC> Server Configuration>Client Access>Exchange ActiveSync tab, there is no entry now.
2) In EMS> If I try the "Remove" string again, I get the following failure message:
The operation could not be performed because object “CASServer\Microsoft-Serve
3) In IIS 7.5 Manager, I verified that no Virtual Directory exists for the application "Microsoft-Server-ActiveSy
4) In EMS> I ran the cmdlet "New-ActiveSyncVirtualDire
The virtual directory 'Microsoft-Server-ActiveSy
How do I correct this situation ?
Thanks, Mike

Hi Akhater,
=> There is only one Exchange 2010 SP1 server in the domain, hosted on-site. There are no other email servers (regardless of roles) connected.
=> in EMS, I ran 'Get-ActiveSyncVirtualDire

Akhater,
In my initial post, I documented that I was running "iisreset" after the remove and new cmdlets.
I have been trying other things in IIS 7.5 Manager, and I routinely run iisreset after each change.
I tried to manually create a new VD in IIS Manager, ran iisreset, so that I could try the remove then new commands. Still no luck.
This is beyond the normal documented answers from MS. I have been reviewing the various Logs (App, Sys, IIS, etc) looking for some sliver of a hint of what is wrong. FYI: I am logged in to the exchange server, using the Domain Administrator.
Thanks, Mike

Yea right I didn't notice that in the Original Post sorry ! no need to get angry
Your issue is that the IIS metabase is not updated, I am just trying a more "soft approach" as a start
please run from powershell (on the exchange server)
$Site = [ADSI]"IIS://localhost/W3S
and then run $site
what is the result

hey Akhater ... I'm not "angry" or upset ???
In EmS,
=> Ran "$Site = [ADSI]"IIS://localhost/W3S
Result: Carriage return.
=> Ran "$site"
Result:
distinguishedName:
Path: {C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Client Access\Sync}
I appreciate your effort.

Akhater,
Got a good carriage return after each command.
=> I then ran iisreset
=> I checked IIS Manager, and the Microsdt-Server-ActiveSync
=> I ran the EMS command: 'New-ActiveSyncVirtualDire
Results: Successfully recreated.
=> ran iisreset
= Checked IIS Manager 7.5, and the ActiveSync is recreated
= Checked the EMC, and the Exchange ActiveSync (under Server COnfig, Client Access) is recreated. I added the External URL.
Akhater, Thank you so very much for getting me to this successful point !!
Obviously, I now have to do some additional configs on authentication, security, etc... and then test with the testexchangeconnectivity.c
Do you have any additional advice or comments ?
Thanks, Mike

typically you do not need to change any authentication or security the powershell command should do all that for you (default values) you just need to assign the external and internal url

Akhater,
I was responding to you earlier, when the esperts-exchange web site went off line for a couple of hours.
Bottom line: I did have to make 1 authentication change (disable Anonymous) and the testexchangeconnectivity.c
Thank you so much. Mike
