    How to Sync Android or iPhone with SBS 2003

    Hi:

    I'm running an SBS 2003 server.

    I can connect my Windows Mobile phone (Samsung Blackjack I) using ActiveSync
    on the phone w/o any problems. However, when I try to sync my HTC Android or
    iPhone I get errors. For both devices, I can see they're talking with the
    server by purposely entering an incorrect password, at which point I get a
    bad credentials error. On the Android phone, once authenticated, I just get
    a blank screen w/o any folders. On the iPhone, once authenticated, it
    responds "cannot get mail; the connection to the server failed"

    Thank you!

    Have you installed the certificate? If not disable SSL on your iPhone
    and test it.

    Hello Bob,

    Thanks for your post and others' input.

    Besides, make sure you have applied the latest updates for your SBS server including Exchange server 2003 SP2 before you configure iPhone to use Exchange ActiveSync.
