No Amicable Exchange

Today, I spent three hours drop-kicking the IIS end of an Exchange server into properly providing ActiveSync. Three hours.

Just to repeat, this is Microsoft’s email server running Microsoft’s email protocol on Microsoft’s web server under Microsoft’s operating system. And this certainly didn’t have anything to do with ActiveSync permissions on accounts, network connectivity issues, firewall, routing or NAT configuration or human error when entering the account connection settings on the phones. It’s just the plumbing.

If this was thought through, this would be a checkbox (or something similar). The fact that it’s not reminds us once again that even when Microsoft gets an opportunity to make the whole banana, it often turns out like this.

Microsoft: You’re a fucking joke. I hope you collapse on your own weight and start over.

Moreover, I advise that the iPhone software platform must be opened.
