repair opinion 0x80042109 Error together with Registry Cleaner

Hi,



Thanks for taking the time to read this, I'm about 8 hours into trying to work this out and while I feel I'm fairly close to getting the job done, 95% is as good as nothing.



We have a single server environment which is Windows Server 2003 SP2 (and is fully patched), running Exchange 2003 SP2. Internal clients and external clients who use the VPN have no issues, the server is working fine. The issue arises when trying to connect remotely using RPC over HTTPS. Outlook is always 2007 and the clients are mainly XP SP3, with some Vista SP1, no Windows 7.



When setting up the SSL and RPC, I followed 2 guides on this site:



SSL: http://www.petri.co.il/configure_ssl...e_with_iis.htm (the cert we have is a 90 day free trial from an online CA)

RPC: http://www.petri.co.il/how-can-i-con...r-scenario.htm



As far as I can tell, everything went through fine. Indeed, if I use https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com and perform the "Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTP)" test, it says everything completes fine.



That, however, is where the good stops. On the same site, if I run the "Exchange ActiveSync" test, that fails as below:



Attempting an ActiveSync session with server

---Attempting FolderSync command on ActiveSync session

------Exchange ActiveSync returned an HTTP 500 response.



This error lead me to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/l...CHG.80%29.aspx but following the article didn't fix the issue.



When I try and create a profile in Outlook 2007 to the server, I get continually prompted to enter a username and password, even though I'm entering valid details. Sometimes the external FQDN of exchange.xxxxxx.co.uk gets resolved to the internal FQDN of servername.domain.local and the username is underlined, sometimes not. This is still the case when I've been into 'More Settings' and set up Exchange over RPC.



Finally, when launching Outlook with this /rpcdiag switch, I get asked for a username and password again, only see 1 line in the connection status box (which stays on a status of 'Connecting') and can't see the mailbox.



Once this is working I believe the iPhones will also be able to work properly as they use the same or very similar methods.



Any help would be great appreciated. I'm able to give you Remote Control of the server and test account usernames and passwords should you need it.



Thanks,



James


Alright.



I don't have the new iMac, but I did setup an Exchange account using Office 2008 on a brand new MBP w/ 10.6. I know it's not the exact same hardware/drivers then, but I am pressed to verify that the settings are at least correct.



Have you connected to this Exchange account before, using Entourage? (on any Mac).



the Exchange Server field needs to hit a certain location of the server, b/c of WebDAV issues.



For Example: https://ex.company.com/exchange/username



[where ex.company.com would the the location of the exchange server, and username would be your username]



If you're positive the settings are good, and/or you've done it before, let me know. I'm asking this b/c in my experience, ERROR - 17900

means authentication error.
