Error message when you try to synchronize a Windows Mobile-based device by using Exchange ActiveSync for Exchange 2003 or for Exchange 2007 or for Exchange 2010: "Synchronization failed"Article ID: 927465 - View products that this article applies to. On This PageSYMPTOMSWhen you try to synchronize a Microsoft Windows Mobile-based device by using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync together with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, or Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, synchronization is not successful. Additionally, you receive one of the following error messages: Error message 1Synchronization failed. The security
certificate on the server has expired. Check that the date and time on the
device is correct and try again. Error Code: 80072f05 or 0x80072f05 Error message 2The security certificate on the server is
invalid. Contact your Exchange Server administrator or ISP to install a valid
certificate on the server. Support Code: 80072F0D or
0x80072f0d CAUSEThis issue occurs because an intermediate certification
authority (CA) certificate is not present on the device or on the server with which you are synchronizing, and this server is running Exchange
Server. Windows Mobile-based devices do not generally contain intermediate CA certificates in their certificate store. Internet Information Services (IIS) sends the whole certificate chain to the device. However, IIS does this only if it can verify the whole chain. By default, the device does not contain these certificates. Therefore, the server must send them. The device must contain only the root certificate in its certificate store. Frequently, this issue occurs with GoDaddy certificates because either the root CA certificate or the intermediate CA certificate is missing from the certificate store on the server that is running Windows Server 2003. For more information, visit the following website: https://certificates.godaddy.com/InstallationInstructions_alt.go Frequently, this issue occurs with VeriSign certificates because
the intermediate CA certificate is expired in the certificate store on the Windows Server
2003 server.

Update VeriSign Web Server Certificates Now for IIS: An expired VeriSign intermediate certificate can result in non-validated connections to sites using SSL
RESOLUTIONTo resolve this issue, use one of the following methods, as
appropriate for your situation. Note To obtain the information about the certificate that you are using, type the Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access URL for the server into the address bar for Windows Internet Explorer, and then click the lock icon. You may have to export one or more of the certificates in the “Certification Path” to complete the remaining steps. Additionally, you may be able to obtain these files and more specific instructions from your certificate vendor. Method 1: Use a Group Policy configurationUse a Group Policy configuration to distribute certificates that will be trusted by all member computers of the domain. For more information about how to add a trusted root CA to a Group Policy Object (GPO), visit the following Microsoft website:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738131(WS.10).aspx

Method 2: Manually install certificates on Exchange Server
MORE INFORMATIONExchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007 require you to add
the trust chain to the administrator account and to the local computer
accounts. A trust chain can have more than one intermediate CA. After you add
the trust chain, the certification path is available to Exchange Server to send
to the device. This allows for S/MIME to work
successfully. The information and the solution in this document represents the current view of Microsoft Corporation on these issues as of the date of publication.
