Description Uwe Kaminski (reporter) 2009-10-19 16:12:10 UTC
SOFTWARE VERSION:
N900 see above
Exchange Server 2003 / Outlook Web Access 3.5

INFORMATION TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
I only selected E-Mail as sync source (but it happens also if I try to
synchronize calendar and contacts the same way).

During the first synchronisation the progress bar fills up to more or less 50%
but the it stops and an error message occours:
"Fehler bei der Kommunikation mit dem Exchange Server" (English it should be
something like "Error during the communication with the exchange server").

REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

OTHER COMMENTS:
I used the same credentials (Server URL, Username, ...) on my Nokia E52 in Mail
for Exchange and it works without any problem.

Pleas tell me what I can do to provide more information about this issue. Is
the a possibility to start the wizard from command line with some debug
parameters? Or will there be a log file if something goes wrong during
synchronization?
Comment 1 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2009-10-19 19:23:43 UTC
Do you use a certificate (bug 5509)?
Does this only happen when trying for the first time?

Actually this also happened to me when trying MfE with Google for the first
time.
Comment 2 Uwe Kaminski (reporter) 2009-10-19 22:49:55 UTC
(In reply to comment #1)
> Do you use a certificate (bug 5509)?

No, I don't use a certificate.

> Does this only happen when trying for the first time?

The first sync never ends. The progress bar keeps near 50% after the decribed
error message occurred. So a second sync is not possible because I can't create
the Mail for Exchange account on the N900.

Ando how you where able to make a second sync?
Comment 3 Hans Loots 2009-10-21 14:20:40 UTC

I got the feeling the problem is in Exchange 2003, we tested it with 2007 and
it works fine. We are having the same problem with 2003.

Comment 4 Mehdi El Gueddari 2009-10-22 13:22:42 UTC
I've had a different but similar problem when trying to setup contact and
calendar sync with Google via Exchange  (I didn't try to sync emails).

During the initial sync, the "Initialising sync" progress bar progressed quite
quickly. It then started to synchronise the calendar. That took forever
(between 5 and 10 minutes - note that I have exactly 0 events in my Google
calendar and 5 events in the N900 calendar I was syncing). The "Calendar"
progress bar then reached 100% and remained there forever. It never proceeded
to sync the contacts. After having waited for an hour, I canceled the whole
thing. 

Even though the initial sync said that it had done 100% of the calendar
synchronisation, none of the 5 events I had in my N900 calendar showed up in
Google Cal.

Could you please make a New bug for this issue? It seems to be a little bit
different from this one and would help to re-test after the bugs are fixed.

All,
I can confirm that in our setting moving to Exchange 2007 works. Our hosted
server email is running on both servers. On 2003, it fails the initial sync
with a 50% complete bar. switching the app to the 2007 server works, the sync
competes and runs fine. It seems the issue IS with 2003.
Comment 14 Hans Loots 2009-10-30 12:29:38 UTC
We have also tested on Exchange 2007(2007 works perfect) and 2003 every time
gives a problem.....so we also think the major problem is in Exchange 2003.It
wasn't possible for us to make it work with 2003. The first sync never past the
50% in the first screen.

I think we have wait for the new firmware in the N900....hope the problem is
solved then. 

I am using :
SW Version 1.2009.40-12

But 1.2009.42-11 is still not working with Exchange 2003....
Comment 17 Dart 2009-11-16 19:49:39 UTC
Shouldn't the priority of this bug be higher? This is blocking all exchange
2003 synchronisations. And there are still a lot of Exchange 2003 servers on
the market!
Comment 18 clay babcock 2009-11-16 20:04:50 UTC
I agree with DART. This is a HUGE issue. Many large organizations will run
Exchange 2003 until MS stops supporting it. This needs to get resolved, the
problem will not go away.
Comment 19 Hans Loots 2009-11-16 20:05:47 UTC
I think the last comment is a very good point! There are a lot more 2003
servers then 2007.
Comment 20 Uwe Kaminski (reporter) 2009-11-17 12:52:06 UTC
I agree with my previous speakers. But the prioritization of this bug should be
in sync with the internal bug report so somebody using both should change the
priority.
Did you already voted for this bug? It's a good method to get more attention to
bugs.
Comment 21 Geert de Vries 2009-11-23 21:28:46 UTC
Experiencing the same

Windows 2003R2 + Exchange2003 SP2 does not initial synchronise.
Please prioritize this bug as HIGH and vote to get more attention to it.
Comment 22 Sami Lavikko 2009-11-24 01:11:38 UTC
Confirmed same failure for me too. Used same settings as I had on my e71, where
this worked perfectly. Should have a very high priority in my opinion, since
this is the main application most business users need on the phone.

Guys, could somebody take the logs from the device and attach them to this bug?

The first stem:  

1) install syslog and reboot
2) open xterm
[optional steps begin]
2A.  sudo gainroot
2B. cat /dev/null > /var/log/syslog
[optional steps end]
3) Issue the folloiwng commands:
      gconftool-2 -s --type=int /apps/activesync/AsDaemon/Syslog/MinLogLevel 0
      gconftool-2 -s --type=int /apps/activesync/modest/Syslog/MinLogLevel 0

      gconftool-2 -s --type=int
/apps/activesync/AsStatusApplet/Syslog/MinLogLevel 0
3) attach /var/log/syslog from the device to this bug

So, to clarify:

Original report is about Exchange 2003.

You all face the same issue described here?

Please note that Exchange 2003 and Google are NOT officially supported by Mail
for Exchange currently, while Exchange 2007 IS officially supported.

Thanks a lot. Your server uses the protocol 12.0, not 12.1.  This is the reason
why you have this problem.  Quite shity.  

The only workaround I can suggest for now - to ask your admin to upgrade the
server so it will support 12.1.  If you have this option :-(

Andre, could you export this case (with log) to maemo internal bugzilla? We
need to track it there.

Excuse me, but this I hear for the first time! This bug is open for several
weeks and I never heard that there will be only support for Exchange 2007.

There are a lot of device specification pages online and I never read something
else than "Exchange support". No version number. One example is this page:
http://shop.nokia.de/nokia-de/product.aspx?sku=6958534&section_id=562&culture=de-DE

And again: On my E52 mobile phone with Mail for exchange everything works fine
with Exchange 2003.

So are you sure that there will be no official support for Exchange 2003?

There will be.  There is no.  Wait for sw. update.  If you want to treat lack
of Exchange 2003 support as a Mfe bug, treat it this way.

The problem is not to treat the lack of Exchange 2003 support as a bug or not,
it's that it is not mentioned anywhere. To my knowledge, and I could be wrong,
there are still more Exchange 2003 servers than 2007.

Do we have any chance to see this bug/lack of support corrected in next
release?
Comment 41 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2009-11-26 19:46:28 UTC
Note: This report is about EXCHANGE **2003** SUPPORT which is currently not
officially supported.
As Quim wrote, support will definitely be provided by an update.

I have moved the report about the same outcome with EXCHANGE **2007** to bug
6345. Feel free to CC yourself on bug 6345 if you are interested in 2007.

I don't know if can be useful but I checked my syslog and I receive from the

I have a similar problem with the N900. I get a message "Account Dissabled.

my nokia E90. Also my IT people checked and all is ok so, it is a Nokia N900
problem. We use Exchange 2003 and do not plan on going to 2007 until there is
no suppor for 2003.

No, I will verify this with my IT people. There is one thing that they did tell
me that came to my attention and that is that they plan to move not to exchange
2007 but to 2010. Does anyone know if 2010 is supported? or will it be the same
problem. If we are moving this way, I am sure I am not the only company
thinking along these lines.

Probably like every other software issue: By writing or correcting some code.
:-D
As written here, it is not supported currently. All that is known is written in
this report already. Hence for future reference, http://talk.maemo.org is a
good place for non-technical talk about this.

Comment 56 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2009-12-09 12:33:27 UTC
This has been fixed in the internal build version
2.2009.49-5
(Note that 2009 is the year and the number after is the week.)

Any public update released with or after this build version will include the
fix.
Please verify that the new version fixes the bug by marking this bug report as
VERIFIED after the public update has been released and if you have some time.
For your information, Nokia does not announce release dates of updates in
advance.

The explanation is not technical at all. Feel free to send me a private email
if it's not understandable. In short: Wait. And feel free to vote in
Brainstorm.

There is a separate bug report about that and it is in an OPEN state.
This should really answer the question. Feel free to CC.

It's really not helpful to post the same stuff again and again, and by doing
that creating bugmail for all people CC'ed on this report.
This is not a forum, but a bugtracker.

So, see comment 56, see comment 58.
I don't know what other words are needed to repeat the same statements again.
If my English is incomprehensible, feel free to complain by private email to
me. :-P
Comment 65 Lex de Jonge 2009-12-12 21:11:40 UTC
Hi all,
Because Exchange 2003 support was not in the original release, this is not a
bug……….. ok I can live with that statement, but none of the nokia sites
(nokia.nl, nokia.com, nokia.de, nokia.co.uk)
http://www.nokiausa.com/find-products/phones/nokia-n900/specifications mentions
the lake of Exchange 2003 support therefore Nokia mismanaged the expectations
of her customers and should bugfix the problem with high priority instead of
letting us wait for the next update (maybe end of 2009………….. maybe…………)

Comment 66 kcman123 2009-12-15 04:00:52 UTC
I called Nokia Tech support today about this issue to see about if there were
any new updates?
The tech responded on setting the active sync protocol on your exchange server
to "public"?  Has anyone tried this or know what he is exactly saying?

The nokia tech representative also mentioned that the software update is
actually going to be released mid january.  So are the rumors of software
updates releasing around christmas false?

Please definitely go to talk.maemo.org for this. It's offtopic here. Thanks!

Please avoid adding such unhelpful comments and just silently add yourself to
the CC list if you want to get notifications. This is how a bugtracker works.

The problem reported here should be fixed in the update released today for
public: The Maemo5 update version 2.2009.51-1 (also called "PR1.1" sometimes).
Please leave a comment if the problem is not fixed for you in this update
version.
Comment 73 Javier Inclan 2010-01-14 23:10:55 UTC
I updated to the new version 2.2009.51-1.002 and the problem remains. I still
get the error message "Exchange account dissabled. Access refused" and now I
have and additional message after that one that says " erorr in communication
with exchange server". I know it is not my company or my password, etc.. and
YES we are also set as public. This has to be so embarrassing for Nokia as a
whole.(In reply to comment #72)

Could you take the logs as described here:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Mail_for_Exchange#How_can_I_turn_the_logging_ON_or_OFF.3F

It would be beneficial to understand the root cause.

Pls, make sure that the logs do not contain any data which you treat as a
personal.

For what it's worth, the 51-1 update worked fine for me against my Exchange
2003 Server.
Comment 77 bugs.maemo.org@falkensweb.com 2010-01-15 11:21:59 UTC
51-1 update has not enabled the first sync to Google to work for me. I am going

Syslog of failed initial sync after PR1.1 update.

Here's another log of a failed first attempt to sync with my corporate exchange
server. I've censored the domain name, my IMEI and a couple of hex numbers near
"password". Apart from that it's complete.
Comment 81 bugs.maemo.org@falkensweb.com 2010-01-15 12:38:06 UTC
I see some similarities between the two most recent logs, lines like:
 activesync[1444]: AS-PERF: Transfered 0 bytes in 91 seconds. Transfer rate is
0 Kb/sec
and
 activesync[1444]: CurlConnectionManager: sendReceive attempt 3: CancelErr=901

occur in both.

How is this related to this bug report about Exchange 2003 servers?
Comment 83 Moin 2010-01-15 13:38:34 UTC
Thanks. My N900 works perfectly fine with Microsoft Exchange 2003.
Comment 84 bugs.maemo.org@falkensweb.com 2010-01-15 15:10:32 UTC
@Andre Klapper: Because Google is using the Exchange 2003 interface :
http://m.google.com/sync "Google Sync uses the Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync®
protocol" or read through much of the google results for 'google exchange sync'
which consistantly use the 'exchange sync' feature of various platforms.

I realise the bug title  here is misleading. You'll note this bug has always
been about 'real' Exchange2003 and Google's service of same.

No.  Google is a separate issue.  Different from Exchange 2003.

Vitaly, could you have a look at my attachment 1989 [details]? This is a regular
corporate Exchange server as far as I know. If I login to webmail I'm looking
at "Outlook Web Access", not Gmail.
Comment 87 bugs.maemo.org@falkensweb.com 2010-01-18 14:47:52 UTC
@Vitaly Repin
Are you saying I should be reporting on a different (new) bug ? If you're doing
so in an official capacity, please say so, otherwise I consider this bug still
valid, as both MS and Google are meant to be using the same '2003' protocol
(though different impls, if I quickly read OK).

Google supports 12.0 and 2.5 protocols.  12.0 is the protocol which is not
supported by Exchange 2003.  Google and Exchange 2003 support are totally
different issues.  Let us not mix them here.  

This bug is about Exchange 2003 and that's it.

Give us time to analyze the logs for Exchange 2003 which you have attached.

This issue has been fixed for months and your comment is unrelated.

Exchange 2003 support was added for PR1.1 (2.2009.51-1) hence this issue was
fixed (See comment 56). What does "the fix documented" exactly mean?
