I'm trying to get my brand new debranded C905a to connect to our Exchange 2007/OWA setup at work. I have double/triple-checked all the settings (server URL, domain, username, password), and they work fine with Nokia's Mail for Exchange, RoadSync, etc. but not on the C905a.
Once I hit "Start", it says "Synchronizing Profilename", shortly followed by "Profilename Session Failed".
My question is how I can diagnose the issue. Is there a connection log generated? (There is no trace of the connection from the OWA "Mobile Devices" page - it seems to fail upon initial connect).
Thanks for any insight!

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem with Exchange 2007 and SE Active Sync. I've concluded so far that it is not related to invalid certificates but it might be something with the authentication mechanism: forms vs. basic authentication.
Hope to solve it or that others know what to do...
Thanks!

Hi again,
Problem solved... It has to do with MS ISA frontend server not falling back to basic authentication when user-agent is *sonyericsson*. SE phones cannot handle forms based authentication presented by default.
Follow the solution here: http://exchangeorg.net/archive/2007/10/22/ericsson-authentication-problem-through-isa-2006.aspx
I've just tested it and was able to sync my C905 against MS Exchange 2007. Nokia phones and WinMo's are still working
