Just to clarify, the Exchange server does support Exchange Active Sync (for mobile devices), but is not configured to support a direct connection to Outlook (desktop) when I am outside of the cooperate firewall including using RPC to connect. My Touch Pro2 was able to use Exchange Active Sync to keep the contacts and calender current on the phone, then when I plugged in the phone to my desktop (via WMDC) it would update my Outlook calender regardless if I was behind or in front of the cooperate firewall. The phone effectively was a hardware Exchange Active Sync bridge; I'm surprised that no one (not even Microsoft) has written a plugin for Outlook (desktop) that would support this account type.
