Every custom rom == no exchange activesync

bfaber · #1 (**permalink**) 02-25-2009, 12:40 PM

I have yet to try a custom rom on my Touch pro, but every custom rom on the titan would cause exchange activesync with my company to fail..

Has anybody else seen this and know if its still a problem with touch pro roms?

I'd love to try one, but exchange activesync is a must have......

arg!

Thanks

Go to settings - Connections - USB to PC and disable advanced networking for active sync.

My companies exchange server works fine on every custom rom I've ever run on my Mogul, Touch, or Pro.

I think there's a security setting on exchange servers that checks some stamp in roms (though I'm not sure what)... and on Mogul's, it never worked. I've seen others complain and have even seen references as to what to change on the exchange server but alas there's zero chance I can get that done.

Sounds like I need to pass on Roms...

Maybe your Admin disabled Exchange ActiveSync...

I have used a number of roms from here and they work fine on my Tpro and active snyc. I am currently running Juggalo .08B and it works great with active snyc. I do have to say that i tried the 6.5 roms and was not able to get them to work.

I run a SBS 2003 R2 server with exchange activesync from home for my consulting business and also connect to Lotus Traveler mail for the corporation that I work for. Both seem to play nice with any custom rom I have ever run. Don't forget to add any certificates for the SSL security...either that or uncheck the SSL box when configuring server in activesync.

Hmm.. that sounds like a hint. I'll try that. Thanks

It sounds like it is something specifically related to your company's exchange server version or setting. I have used mogul previously and now touch pro with every custom rom posted here and had no problems with data push at all. What kind of an error you get? For my exchange server to work, I have to load two security certificates first that are used by my company's server (Go Daddy route certificates). You can check what certs your company is using by logging in thorugh outlook web access URL (owa.yourcompany.com) and clicking on the lock icon in the browser. That will tell you what certificate authority certs your exchange server is using. If they are not standard like in my case, they will not be included in the ROM by default so you just need to manually install them. Once I install them and connfigure my server in ActiveSync on my touch pro, the first time I connect I get a message "Server wants to enforce security.." (or something like that) and I click "Yes". After that, I have no problem getting my mail/appointments/tasks at all. Works the same with any ROM.

Hope it helps.
