Connecting to Exchange Server

My company runs an exchange server for email, and I was wondering if anyknow knows how to connect to them, using the mogul. I went through the setup on the phone, with no success...Are their any additional steps required to connect to the server when you are not on the same network as the server?

Missing Certificate ?
I think you'll have to install the certificate from your Mailserver on the phone to get it working.
Do you get any active-sync error code when you're trying to sync ?
In general you get an error-code in ActiveSync which is telling you what's wrong...
IMHO the best idea would be: aks your IT-Stuff in your company

you need to add a server in active sync with your companys exchange server addy and your username/password

To be clear you need to enter your companies OWA server address. At most small companies this is your Exchange server and at most large companies it is your ISA server.
Example:
You access OWA using https://exchange.mycompany.com/exchange
You enter: exchange.mycompany.com in the activesync settings and you use your username, password and domain to authenticate
You also need to make sure Outlook Mobile Access is enabled on the Exchange Server and on your Exchange Mailbox. You will need to contact your IT Admin to verify these settings.

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I had been trying to hit the mail server directly or via VPN, with no luck, probably due to no certificate. Never thought about OWA. I set this up as indicated in the prior post, and checked 'Tasks' only (just to run a quick test), and it sync'ed fine. I then checked email and calendar, and now it takes me to a company sign-in web page (same page I encounter when using web access to OWA). Weird thing is the page is in the ActiveSync window and does not appear to be rendering correctly or completely (e.g. no 'submit' button). Nonetheless, I sign in and click where the submit button "should be" and the page goes away and it appears to start syncing, only to take me back to the sign-in page again after 15-20 seconds. Any suggestions on how to get past this point? I've tried logging in to OWA from IE, but ActiveSync still brings up this sign-in page. And yes, I've got my userID, pswd, and domain properly set up as well. Thanks.
BTW, my company IT won't help because they only support handheld access for specific company-issued devices.

try using mail.yourcompanymailserver.com/oma
its a lightweight version that handles easy in mobile browsers (only if your IT guys have enabled it)
as for the OP your exchange settings could vary depending on how your admin set it up, ssl (requiring a certificate) or not. to get the certificate from your company you can dl it from the server mail.yourcompanymailserver.com/cersrv
you log in using your mail credentials and you select download certificate chain and select a der 64.
save it to your phone and just install.
chances are though if your company is using a lot of treo's they dont require ssl because you can't install self issued certificates on them (good work palm). so if you want to ask your IT guys their setup and post it here i can try to walk through it with you.

this is my situation and how i got it to work.
Although i tried to internal address of 1x01po2s.domain.name, that didn't work.
I thought about it for a while, and reasoned if i can access my companies exchange server outside the network through a http://mail.domain.name address, then maybe that'll work hahaha
BAM! it did and now it works perfectly fine. Conincidentally, since i started trying to get this going last week, i emailed a few guys i know and the last one who got my email (it was forwarded to try to solve the problem) said that because of security policies, i am not allowed to do this. Ooops!
Here is a quick run down of my settings:
server address: mail.domain.name
ssl is selected (checked)
username: exchange/nt workstation login name
password: user password
domain: network domain (we have different domains)
save password is selected
under advanced you can select whatever options you like
next select e-mail, and any other options you want
and you're done!
I also enabled the push email icon and get my email regularly on my phone throughout the day.
Well, i hope that this helps some of you out.

server address: mail.domain.name
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
just so folks know there is no standard for this, its whatever subdomain your company decided to put OWA on, for my company its webmail.companywebsite.com
best thing to do would be to ask someone in your company how to access email from outside the office using internet explorer, thats the address your lookign for

Sprint mogul (Titan) WM6.1 Rom update killed exchange server activesync
(Sorry in advance for the long Email) I purchased a Mogul from RS about three weeks ago. For the first week, it worked great! I logged into my company exchange server down loaded and synced email, cal,contacts,tasks ... was very excited. I also got very excited when I started t read threads in this blog .... it seems like there are some pretty smart members maybe someone can help!!
Noticed that there was a new Rom (Sprint TV and improved connection) installed the ROM.
Have spent endless hours with HTC technical support, sprint technical support (not an appropriate name). At times managed to get the email to load but never again Cal, Tasks, contacts. Always able to get sent emails to load (by checking option) . I'm left with a couple of alternatives (any others would be greatly appreciated (actually I really like this phone but I need my email,schedule,etc to work) The error is 0x8503001C there is no exact description about this from MSmobile it seesm to be an awh**** code. Searching on the web provides 1000s of hits unfortunately not just my issue.
o Go to an early Rom WM6.0. So far it seems like to do this I need to unlock the phone then flash the earlier rom?? Since no SIM card I need to hack the registry?? There are several products out there which is best (I do not mind paying for somethng that works well). I down loaded several "Oficial ROm versions ... unfortunately did not write down the number of the one the phone came with.
o Find some way of getting this thing to work well to keep the extra features
o My grace period ends in a week ... cancel with Sprint go to Att but there is not a 3G phone I like ... only Iphone ... it has issues for exchange server??
o I got my wife a Touch at the same time (it runs WM6.1) same issue. Downloaded once my corp email no cal, etc.
o I was told that this Rom was cooked up by MS & Sprint what a disaster
Please, please help ... Thanks in advance

Exchange email and Skype not working after Upgrading Sprint Touch to Wm6.1
The Exchange activesync died at connection and never can sync my company emails after I upgraded Touch to 6.1 Sprint/HTC ROM. Skype also does not work, no sound after first ring, even with 2.2.0.45. I like the GPS and Rev.A speed, and do not want to risk downgrading the ROM. Anybody encounter ssimilar situation?

Focus and Exchange Server ActiveSync

I picked up the focus yesterday and have run into an issue syncing with Outlook/Exchange Server 2003. I receive the error code below after the email account setup runs for a bit, I get contacts and calendar entries, then a few emails before the error is returned (everytime I try to sync later as the msg suggests). I tried finding the error code referenced on MS Support/Forums, AT&T Samsung forums, and even xda developers with no luck.
I did try a hard reset (from settings) and then recreate the account and I tried removing the hub on the start screen and then deleted the account and recreate same error every time.
Samsung Tech Support suggested that I add the same Certificate on my Server to the phone, Did so - still, no luck.
Anyone see this error/issue?

Mine has worked flawlessly. Sounds like you did everything I would have suggested except return and get a replacement phone.

I had that problem. the cause of mine was to have the SSL turned on. After I created the account, I went to setting>email and choose the outlook account, clicked on advanced, then scrolled down and uncheck the SSL checkbox. All worked perfect after that. although I guess I am not super secure.. but anyone that wants to hack and read my email.. feel free pretty boring.

It is obviously a software issue. How can a replacement phone solve any problem.
If your exchange server does not use public certificates (the ones that your company has to pay for), or the certificate comes from some publisher that WP7 doesn't know about, it will be touch to set it up. For one, import the server certificates directly does not work. In the past with WM phones, MS suggests you need to import the root certificate instead. So, see if you can find the root certificate for it.

agreed - was able to get Corporate Store to allow me to try settings on another Focus, with same results.
can see the Folders on my Outlook (some are unique to my Exchange Server), so we know that we are nearly there. little more tweaking, and also, update to a new Server,
but, that might not be for week or so, so if anyone has solutions, would be much appreciated.

I had problems with mine and worked with our Exchange admin. We found it was the encryption part of our policies. Both Device and Storage card encryption parts of the policy have to be turned off. After some research this is correct and expected to be fixed in Early 2011 when Microsoft starts pushing this for business.

Oh it also does not support alphanumeric passwords at the moment:

That is really strange because my HTC Surround took my alpha numeric password just fine for my exchange email. Haven't had any issues with it at all.

Do you mean a password for the domain or the screen lock password? They are talking about the policy that requires a alpha numeric password (or not allowing simple passwords) for unlocking your screen. Our company allows simple passwords (just numbers) so I didn't see the problem.

We don't have a certificate,and all I had to do was go to advanced and turn off encrypted SSL connection ( I also have alphanumeric and symbol password for exchange)

I am referring to the screen lock policy in Exchange. Of course alphanumeric and symbol passwords for exchange/domain authentication will work.

Installing SSL Cert (quick and dirty)
Email your server's SSL cert to a GMail account. Hotmail blocks the attachment as an unsafe filetype.
Open the attachment and Phone7 should ask you if you want to install. Go back and set up your Outlook account.

Got mine working on Exchange 2003 even after the error messages
This happened to me as well. We have an Exchange 2003 server and what I did was go to "email and accounts" on the phone and went through the proccess and setup everything correctly but still got the error messages.
Now this is what fixed my issue (strange). I got out of the "email and accounts" and went into all programs list and opened "Outlook" , from there I put the settings in again for my account and presto, it just started working and syncing.
I did 2 phones likes this already and it works. Dont ask me how, but it does.
Hope this helps OP and anyone else using Exchange 2003.

An issue I had that confused me for ages with the exchange account was that I had forgotten to use my Exchange windows username to login, which was different to my email address alias.
So used to logging in everywhere with email addresses these days.

Hi,
Is he using an Internet access APN or an internal company one(with no access to internet). If this is the case first try to conect using the internet APN and after you get no resposne from the server try with the Intranet APN. It should work. This was the problem in my case.

Corporate email - No Android Support?

I have an Incredible with 2.2 and Touchdown installed. I just switched jobs to a corporation which claims to only support Iphone and Blackberry. This is troublesome, because I don't want to switch to a 2nd device just to get corporate email.
I can access my corporate email from my phone by going to the corporation's secure OWA server, but I want to get Push email on the phone. On the OWA site, it lists all the server and domain information, but I can't get Touchdown to work. It looks like the company uses Exchange 2007.
Since Touchdown is secure, is there any way for me to get push email from my company, even though they only claim to support iphone/Blackberry?

even if they support just iphone and blackberry, you should be able to get it to work on the inc. just get the server address, domain name (chances are you wont really need it unless the server requires it but get it anyways) and it should work. just try setting it up on the regular phone email. I have exchange 2008 sbs and have no issues.

How do I know which of the following to use as server address, domain... there are a lot of things that say server in the OWA general settings:
Exchange mailbox address: XXXX
Outlook Web Access host address: XXXX
Outlook Web Access host name: XXXX
Client Access server name: XXXX
Mailbox server name: XXXX
... I tried using "Outlook Web Access host address" and it did populate my email and calendar, but when I tried to update something on my calendar on either the device or the OWA server, they wouldn't sync correctly. It also wouldn't download my last 2 weeks worth of email, even though I have that selected in Touchdown.
Any advice on which of the above to enter?

What does that matter if my company doesn't support Android? Doesn't that mean they block these devices?

You can set up an Exchange ActiveSync account on the DINC. We just upgraded to Exchange 2010 (which means HTML emails pushed!) and the only thing you should need is the domain, server address, username, and password.

None of the above will give you the server address and domain name. You will have to ask that from the tech support people in your office. it will be something like:
server address: mail.ibm.com
domain: ibm3
username: ssmith (should not be [email protected] format)
password: whatever you enter into owa
thats all you will need. just ask your tech support people. its the same info you would need to set up outlook access on mail.app if you have a mac. just tell them that and you should get the info u need

If none of those are the right address, then why when I plugged in the server name that ended with "/owa" did my calendar and email populate on Android? I tried putting the same info into my Ipad and it wouldn't work. Also, my Android calendar doesn't seem to sync very accurately. But just curious as to why entering the server address that ended with /owa did anything?

############
EDIT:
Sorry, I'm burning the midnight fuel here and totally misses you're using Touchdown to connect. You can just skip to the bottom of this post then, my comments were in regards to using the built-in Exchange ActiveSync services on the phone.
###########
I definitely can't speak for every Android device out there, but since this post is in the Droid Incredible forum...
I'm running my Droid Inc. with version 2.2, which supports Exchange ActiveSync. Do you have an option to connect to Exchange ActiveSync on the phone? If so, the only things you'll need are your email address and password.
What I can tell you about that address /owa is exactly that: you've connected to the same website OWA server, you're looking at all this server info for. The website server and Exchange ActiveSync server are normally not the same server address, at least that's the way I run the servers for my company... It's also the reason everyone is telling you the info you have won't work, because the names and method to connect are different.
Your best bet is to ask them to send you the instructions they hand out for an iPhone to connect, since it also uses ActiveSync I'm positive whatever settings they're using will be the same. Either way, that's the closest information you'll get to the right settings.

It is a bug, but everything I read in that link was for connection issues with the native Exchange ActiveSync. TouchDown was the work around until they got the native Exchange ActiveSync working correctly, which I don't believe is the issue the OP is having since he's using TouchDown currently.
I've been using TD for the last three months on our Exchange system without issue. My phone vibrates before Outlook even pops up that I have an email, it's a "warning" system!

He said his corporation only supports iPhone & BB.
BB enforces the use of it's BES server license for security and RIM royalties.
Does iPhone have a similar solution to BES?
If so, android exchange may be futile.
GOOD / VOX would be a security product for android, similar to BES.

I got my work email to work with Moxier mail, but not Touchdown with the same settings my IT dept hands out for iphone. There are a couple of strange bugs though. I've noticed that when I leave the work Wifi and transfer over to either 3g or another wifi signal, my email, contacts, tasks, and calendar refreshes from scratch. This is super annoying because I have thousands of contacts. This happens in both Moxier and Touchdown...
And on to Touchdown, which has been the bane of my existence. I've entered the proper server/domain/login information, and 1/10 times it downloads everything from scratch (which takes hours). Then I'll switch to another wifi connection or to 3g, and I'll lose all the information and I'll have to hit resync. When I resync, 99% of the time it hangs somewhere along the line and doesn't load all of my information. This battle can go on indefinitely until everything finally loads - but then all the info will eventually randomly disappear again and I'm back at square one again.
Since the same thing is happening in both Touchdown and Moxier, it makes me think this isn't a coincidence. But why would my information erase when I change signals and then have to completely refresh? And Touchdown probably takes 10 times longer to reload my info than does Moxier.
Any thoughts from the experts?

Bump. Can't anyone help me with Touchdown? It keeps randomly refreshing. Sometimes it's just the inbox, sometimes the sent box, sometimes contacts, and sometimes all of the above. What is going on?

Try contacting the app support people yet?

You can set it to poll for the folders you want it to refresh. You can also enable or disable push, and you can select which folders to refresh. When it goes to refresh, it will always refresh what you've told it to, did you check these settings?

iPhone and Android both use ActiveSync. If one works conceivably the other should, but it's a question of how they're administering the server side. I've seen IT departments that don't turn on ActiveSync at the user level until they confirm that the user is using an approved device.
The fact that the OP says that the calendar is synching and not mail says that it's a client side issue. For starters he should have to just specify the name of the server that's doing OWA and not the full URL path and he's stated that he's adding an /owa to the path.
So unless he has a really fubar Exchange server where he's at everything so far points to client config.

Setup for Corporate email, contacts, calendar sync via Exchange Active Sync FAILED?!

Hi,
Just switched from iphone 4 to the Arc. Love everything it represents except for the corporate exchange email, contacts and calendar sync.
Tried setting up the exchange email with the same settings per my iphone (SSL on as well). Unforturnately, I have zero success in setting it up and was met with the following error message:
'Setup could not finish - Server requires unsupported security features'
Has anyone else encountered this before when switching from their iphone 4 to arc? I've also done some research online and the SE website actually mentioned that I have to activate 'device administrator' on the phone. So I went to settings->Location & security settings->Select device administrators and it shows 'No available device administrators'??

Ok,I've resolved (somewhat) the issue. Basically, the native email client is crap when it comes to supporting corporate exchange mail servers with strict security requirements.
So, instead of using the native mail client, I downloaded the 'enhanced mail' ($9.90) client from the app store instead. Set it up with the same credentials used previously and viola, it worked !!
But I have to admit, being a first time android user, im very disappointed with its exchange email integration as it's not as powerful as the iphone variant. On the iphone, I was able to scroll through folders with ease.
Still not quite sure if the xperia arc is suitable for me due to its limitation in exchange server integration.

Hi not sure why it didn't work in your case as enhanced email does support exchange 2007.
Have you checked your security settings (ssl etc...)? When I set mine up, it actually asked me to set up a 4 digit pin prior to activating the mail, contacts and calendar sync.

Hello,
are you able with your contacst sync with exchange to sort them by Name/First Name instead of First Name/Name ?

Could be. And most exchange administrators make tweaks for the iPhones because the bosses are using them.

Now if we need our corporate email we have to either buy the Commercial product:

OR compromise with the free clients which just does mail.

MailDroid works better on LG GT540 android phone. I have a rooted android 2.2 on GT540.
All the free mail clients are the basic exchange mail clients which can help you to read email and reply to email.
It does not have GAL (corporate addressbook Lookup). So you need to know the email address of the person to send email to.
Workaround: Corporate AddressBook
Looks up corporate addressbook and has search function.
After a few weeks use most of them switched to MailDroid which seems to be more stable.
Any of the genius out there who have been working on the ROM have been able to get the patch in so that the stock email client can work as it is supposed to work?
That was the core function most users use their phone for and now it does not work unless you pay up and buy a commercial product.
Help please
