The iPhone is still not a business unit. They are trying, and while the OS is at 3.0, the business side is still in beta, IMO. Apple has never catered to businesses - no matter how much folks have tried to integrate their products. The iPhone is the first device where Apple has been severely tasked by the customer to produce something that can work in both consumer and business sectors. They'll get it eventually, but 3.0 still does not provide everything. In addition, AT&T has stated publicly that there are certain features of the iPhone 3Gs and the 3.0 update that they either a) will still not support for a while, and b) may cost extra in the future.

That said, not using a trusted cert on OWA/Autodiscover truly is a matter of getting what you pay for.

Should take around 45 seconds, depending on the length of those fields and the speed of your thumbs.

I setup my HTC in under a minute (actually timed it). So those iPhones must be wicked fast. ;-) On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 11:44 AM, Sam Cayze <[email protected]> wrote: Ironically, our iPhone was far easier to connect to our Exchange Server than our Windows Mobile Phones. _____ From: Fogarty, Richard R CTR USA USASOC [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 11:42 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: IPhone 3g <Nightmare> Only if you have the app for it.

I believe the cure for cancer will be realized before I can get this "rock" to send and receive e-mail from our Exchange server. The folks at Apple were little or no help. They sent me links to various docs, which I found useless. Does anyone know the "trick" to getting an iPhone 3g to connect to an Exchange server? (2003). The server resides on our network, on the friendly side of our SonicWall firewall. I guess I'm spoiled with my Blackberry, which has a 2 minute setup process. Thanks a ton! Mark A.
