Exchange on Droid Eris

[banden]

Try using your: domain\nt4 for the login name instead of the UPN login name

We've got a highly locked-down exchange server here, when I use exchange in windows mobile, it forces a PIN number to be set up with an auto lock at 20 min or less, or else it won't send some sort of security certificate. Apparently the version of the email/active sync app on the Eris does not support this. He ended up getting touchdown for now, it supports that functionality.

So apparently the mail.apk from the magic is a newer/more advanced version of the email application than what's on the Eris. I tried to convince him to overwrite what is on there with the magic's version, but he doesn't want to screw up his phone. If it were me I'd do it, there is a hard reset function, right?

UHG - tell your Exchange admin to chill on the security if he wants remote users to be happy.
As an fellow IT guy, I have people who use too heavy of security just because they can.

It's a major university-linked hospital system's exchange server, so I don't think that they really care if a few people might not be able to connect to exchange.

I won't argue the technical details here as it's not the appropriate place, but it's bad procedure to limit access of valid users, and fake security (meaning, it only keeps the kiddies out).

Oh, I agree with you... I was just saying there's no way they would listen to me about user email access restrictions.
