OMA is going to break me!

Question

Hi Guys, I've posted this in a few places but no answer as yet. Would really
appreciate some help. I've spent days researching this.

I am having a nightmare getting mobile access working. Iâ??m testing out
Exchange 2003 SP2 with sharepoint on the same host. Roadsync is not working,
after reading 500 posts i've narrowed it down to the /oma dir.

When accessing the /oma directory from IE I get:

A System error has occurred while processing your request. Please try again.
If the problem persists, contact your administrator.

+ on Exchange Event 1501 - No user credentials were found in the HTTP request.

I have read many postings.

Have tried http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/817379, SSL is now
disabled. /exchange-oma dir created.

+ Basic Auth is enabled on this directory. I have also followed suggestions
about sharepoint + exchange being hosted on the same box but still no joy.

Also made sure Kerberos and NTLM auth are enabled in the metabase which
apparently is needed.

Have made sure the host headers match the netbios name etc which is another
suggestion.

Any ideas would be gladly appreciated.

Thanks.

Not seen that one before, but judging by the error message, it would
be a good idea to check that the OMA VDir has Basic Auth enabled, and
that Anonymous access is not enabled (I think you said you checked it
on exchange-oma in your post, but not OMA itself). If Basic Auth AND
Anonymous are both enabled anywhere, then the Basic Auth setting may
as well not be there.

Thanks for your response Lee, i've disabled anonymous across the site just
in case. Its weird, trying to get to /OMA always requires a few attempts.

I've rebuilt the exchange folders as well as well just to make sure.

Thanks.

Rob.
