Ehlo All,
So, a client's iPhone with ActiveSync stopped working with their Exchange Server 2007. If rebooting and deleting and setting it back up doesn't fix it, confirm your server's AS is working. An good way to do this is to test with Microsoft Exchange test website found here. So after some investigating, it turned up that the IIS Virtual Directory for "ActiveSync" wasn't responding correctly. One can test this by "https://myservername/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync" and make sure it prompts for a username and pwd. My client's server didn't do that. It reported 501 service unavailable error. I therefore deleted the ActiveSync virtual directory and re-created it and it fixed the issue. A great blog posting to explain this can be found here. To clarify, the "XXXXX" in his example for normal Exchange installs is "Default Web Site".
