Is there a definitive article of how to set up Exchange Server and SBS 2003 and a firewall for the iPhone? I have IMAP4 and OWA working outside the organisation OK. I think my problem is with certificates. I sort of know how to generate a certificate in SBS but I'm not sure if I'm creating the right sort and also I don't know how to install one on the iPhone. I step by step guide would be really good. So far I have got the iPhone account to verify but I get:- "Cannot Get Mail" The connection to the server failed I have read that I can test OMA by https://mail.myorganization.com/OMA This fails with a certificate error. "This CA Root certificate is not trusted because it is not in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store". I suspect this may be one of my problems. Our SBS 2003 and Exchange is all up to date. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Vic archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone

The trick to getting the cert on the phone i found was to set up a pop or gmail account on the phone and then e-mail it to that as an attachment. Make sure your outlook settings allow you to send it in the first place. When it arrive at the iphone simply click the attachment and it will install. If you google how to sync a nokia phone with exchange some of those sites are better guides as thats the same way the phone syncs and i found needed different settings to that of a windows mobile. Once the cert is on the phone when you connect it will says not allowed to connect then allow click allow and then this will probably pop up again allow again and it will sync. I suggest you sync initially over wifi. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service ------->>>>>>http://www.NewsDemon.com<<<<<<------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone

Thanks for that Dan. I wonder why Apple don't give full details of all this in their manuals or in articles. I'll give it a go and report back. Thanks again.

The latest exchange is easier to use and configure than the older ones but if you have 2003 there are a lot of tick boxes to make sure you have ticked! I just cross referanced about 6 guides from youtube and google searches and eventually got it to work. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service ------->>>>>>http://www.NewsDemon.com<<<<<<------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone
