My company just upgraded their exchange server to 2003 SP2. Most
mobile device users still use sprint biz connect. I want to use
activesync to sync my phone with our exchange server. Sync always
fails with error 80072F7D. I have confirmed with my IT manager that
activesync is enabled on the server and that the servername and domain
are correct. I tried entering the wrong password to see if I would get
a different error but I did not. Im assuming this means that its
failing before authentication. I get the same error when I sync OTA or
using desktop passthrough. Im the only one using activesync so I don't
know if its just me. I tried using IP addresses instead of server and
domain names but I got the same error. I tried connecting over the air
to my previous employers exchange server (which I no longer have an
active user/pass) and the only error I got was a bad password error.
My IT manager has said he won't support activesync but if I can get it
to work then good for me. I think the problem is with the exchange
server but I don't know what. Im using a sprint mogul running WM6. My
IT manager won't troubleshoot this but if I had an idea what the
problem is he would likely be cool about it and check it out. Any
advice would greatly appreciated.

ERROR_INTERNET_SECURITY_CHANNEL_ERROR = 0x80072f7d



Exchange Sync requires SSL, you will need to verify that the trusted root
cert is installed on the device.



This might be note worthy



"Windows CE-based devices do not recognize IIS server certificates signed by
using either the MD4 or RSA/SHA1 signature algorithms and rejects
certificates with the error: "ERROR_INTERNET_SECURITY_CHANNEL_ERROR". To be
acceptable to a Windows CE-based device, an IIS server certificate must be
signed using either the MD2 or MD5 signature algorithm."





Can anyone confirm that this is still true?

Thanks for your help, unfortunately root certs are not an area which I
am particularly knowledgeable. Could you suggest a link that may offer
me some advice as to how to determine if the correct root cert is on
my device?

many thanks

I'm not too much of an expert in this area, but I would try to go to OWA
(Outlook Web Access) on the PC and click on the lock (lower right corner) in
Internet Explorer. It will give you detailed information on the server's
certificate. There should be a Certificate Path. The top entry should appear
on the list on the device (Smartphone: Settings->Security->Certificates or
PocketPC: Settings->System->Certificates->Root)



Also note, you HAVE to type the server's name as it appears on the cert. You
can't use the IP address unless the IP address was used to register the
server.

Thats an interesting suggestion. I had not noticed this before but our
OWA site is not a secure https site. There is no lock in the bottom
right hand corner. Im not sure how this is impacting my issue.
