Anybody want to save my sanity?
So, we are beginning our transition to Exchange 2007. So we currently have Exchange 2003 SP2 mailbox servers and Exchange 2007 SP1 CAS boxes. We are having issues with Active-Sync. Basically, active-sync needs Integrated Windows Authentication enabled on the 2003 Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directory. I understand this. And according to this: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/09/04/446918.aspxblocked::http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/09/04/446918.aspx Note: Integrated Windows authentication for /Exchange and /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directories must be enabled via Exchange System Manager on Exchange 2003 back-end server. And here is where I start feeling like I am going to go insane. If I go into Exchange System Manager, and expand the server, expand protocols, expand HTTP and right click on Microsoft-Server-Activesync and go to the Access tab I see this: [cid:646522317@15012008-327A] So needless to say I can't seem to set it there. But if I set it using the IIS manager, the setting falls off after a few hours and everything breaks again. Basically it is driving me crazy. I am using the Exchange System Manager actually on the server in question, so they are at the same version level. So what silly stupid thing am I missing here?

Did you try to manage through Exchange Management Console?

RE: Anybody want to save my sanity?
I can tell you how to force it, if you want to know (it involves using adsiedit). But I have no idea why the tab is greyed out. (It's getting reset because of a process called DS2MB that resyncs information from A/D to the IIS metabase.) Regards, Michael B.

Apply http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937031 Then set it in the IIS console.

Ack, found it. Hotfix (joy!) Wonder if the hotfix requires a reboot. http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/01/05/432079.aspx From: Michael B.

RE: Anybody want to save my sanity?
Oops. I just checked my change log. You do make the change in ESM, not IIS. That blog entry was originally wrong, but looks like they corrected it.
