Hello All!I am installing a new SBS 2008 server. I have an issued ssl certificate and owa and outlook clients appear to be working properly.I am trying to configure Blackberries via BIS and cannot get them to connect. After speaking to BB support, they claim I should be able to browse to https://companyurl/ews/exchange.asmx and get an xml page. Since I cannot, EWS is not configured properly and they say that should be fixed before trying again.Currently, when we browse to that address, we get repeated logon prompts. At one point yesterday I had it working, by disabling basic authentication on EWS in IIS. A couple hours later it stopped working for no apparent reason. Basic authentication is still disabled. Windows authentication is enabled.So, how should the EWS and/or Exchange be configured to allow access to this site?Any help would be greatly appreciated!

First you should run the Internet Address Management Wizard (IAMW)Introducing the Internet Address Management Wizard: Part 1 of 3http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2008/10/15/introducing-the-internet-address-management-wizard-part-1-of-3.aspx Then you will end up with an external FQDN for your SBS 2008 server, such as remote.domain.noremote.domain.no will have a fixed public external IP address.remote.domain.no will also be mapped to your internal address space with an IP address of for instance 10.11.12.4 Then you would refer to your Exchange Web Services URI like thishttps://remote.domain.no/ews/exchange.asmx This will bring up this page (with much more information than displayed here).<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> - <wsdl:definitions xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:tns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages" xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types"> - <wsdl:types> - <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xs:import namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages" schemaLocation="messages.xsd" /> </xs:schema> </wsdl:types> - <wsdl:message name="ConvertIdSoapIn"> <wsdl:part name="request" element="tns:ConvertId" /> <wsdl:part name="RequestVersion" element="t:RequestServerVersion" /> </wsdl:message> MCTS: Messaging | MCSE: S+M | Small Business Specialist

Having only Integrated Auth enabled is the default setting. What happens when its stops asking for a login? Presumably an error message is displayed? BTW, the URL in the address bar should change to Services.wsdl when the XML file is displayed.If all else fails, you can recreate it with the Remove-WebServicesVirtualDirectory and New-WebServicesVirtualDirectory cmds.Outlook Web Access For PDA , OWA For WAP www.owa-pda.com email a@t leederbyshire d.0.t c.0.m

BTW, the URL in the address bar should change to Services.wsdl when the XML file is displayed. It does: from https://remote.domain.no/ews/exchange.asmx to https://remote.domain.no/ews/Services.wsdlOn SBS 2008 Basic and Windows Authentication is enabled by default.(At least that's what I believe; I might have enabled the Basic Auth in a previous troubleshooting attempt.)MCTS: Messaging | MCSE: S+M | Small Business Specialist
