Can anyone tell me what setting my IT guy has to activate/turn on in order to allow the iPhone to work? I saw Apple's guide but it's not very clear. We're currently using Exchange 2003 and I can't get my iPhone to sync correctly with the settings that are currently enabled on our server. Thanks.

You need to look closely at the following web pages:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817379/en-us
explains how to configure your Exchange Server to better handle Exchange ActiveSync connections

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886346/en-us
covers a problem that can occur if you have multiple domains on your Exchange Server

http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/04/03/424028.aspx
more information about registry settings that are important for Direct Push

I've used all three of these web pages setting up not only my own personal Exchange Server, but also those of some of my company's clients, and they are all working perfectly with Windows Mobile devices and (in my case) iPhone 2.0 software with ActiveSync. They should be useful to you, as well.

You should also look into getting a proper security certificate for your server from somewhere like GoDaddy, if you don't already have one.

Hope this helps!
