Question : Problem: Syncing an iPhone to SBS 2003 via Activesync

I have an iPhone that I am trying to sync to an SBS 2003 SP2 w/ Exchange box.  However, I pretty much get stuck after making sure activesync is on the server.  Port 443 is open at the firewall, and we don't have an SSL cert.  Trying to connect, however, I get errors.

Any ideas?

When you configure Outlook web Access for SSL, you need a certificate to insure the identity of the website.

The most secure  way (but not the cheapest) is to use a third party certificate for OWA.
The cheapest way is to create an enterprise CA (free) using windows certificate services. This is fine for a small company, so a self-signed (microsoft cert generated by your ca) will suffice. T

you need to setup an enterprise root ca for your domain:

and then importing this certificate into OWA:
