We have seen issues with passwords using special symbols (non usa keyboard) failing on active sync. These same passwords work on VPN. Active sync is a reverse proxy to mail.company.com. That is the same as OWA which authenticates to AD instead of reverse proxy. So they both hit the internal CAS server
Our solution is to have user use USA keys only
does the same behavior occur if you have encoding set to a different country?
do the same characters work if you use the usa keyboard?
When you ask encoding set that would be local PC. Active sync is passed to AD.
Any thoughts on this.Again no USA special charachters in PWD from active sync devices is failing
You can close this. After reading your response some how the local device is not properly sending specials charachters not your device.
