Hi,
I’m having trouble getting ActiveSync redirects working from Exchange 2010 to 2003. My setup is as follows:
- Exchange 2010 CAS with 2 servers.
- DNS entries created for Exchange2010 (cas1.widgets.com, mail.widgets.com)
- DNS entries created for Exchange 2003 (legacy.widgets.com)
- Exchange 2010 configured with an SSL certificate for https://mail.widgets.com
- Exchange 2003 configured for HTTP (no SSL). Integrated authentication set on the “Microsoft-Serve-ActiveSync” virtual directory – does it also need to be set on the top level “Exchange Virtual Server” as well?
- Basic authentication is off on the Microsoft-Serve-ActiveSync virtual directory on Exchange 2003. I’ve installed patch KB937031.
With the above I’m expecting redirection to work as follows for a 2003 user: mobile –HTTPSàmail.widgets.com -- HTTPà legacy.widgets.com
Running ActiveSync tests against the users below works as follows
Mbx2010 – Exchange 2010 user – works fine with the ActiveSync points at mail.widgets.com Mbx2003 – Exchange 2003 user – fails with ActiveSync pointing at mail.widgets.com
Mbx2003 – Exchange 2003 user – works with ActiveSync pointing at legacy.widgets.com
On the Exchange 2003 and 2010 logs I can see the connection redirected from Exchange 2010 to 2003.
I’ve tried adding an SSL certificate to 2003, but still no luck.
Apologies for the length, but logs attached:
