    Hi,
    I am having difficulty to configure exchange 2003 (ON a SBS server) for Activesync. My requirement is to synchronise exchange emails and contact with iphones.
    I installed godaddy certificate in the IIS default website and OWA works fine.
    I followed your site instructions which is similar to MS article ID 817379.
    When I tried to sync iphone, it says user authentication failed. I tested it with Exchange Remote Connectivity analyzer and got following result.
