Hello,

we have a problem with the task app on wp7.

WE host an exchange 2010 and we use the exchange account also on our wp7 phones, but we can't sync the task app of telerik with the exchange server

i entered for server https://webmail.ourdomain.com - this adress also work for the mail and calendar snyc but with the telerik task app it doesn't work.
ERror Message: No connection to exchange-account - the request failed. The remote server retunred an error: (403) forbidden
 
But i have access with this account to the exchange server?

Can you help me please?

Hi Stefan,

Can you confirm you are entering your information properly? Here is the proper format, be sure to leave the domain empty. 
  • in the username field enter your username
  • in the password field- your password
  • in the email field- your email

 In the More details section:


Are you only getting a 403 error, or are you seeing other error codes as well?

Good Luck,
Lancelot

Hi,
I am using a W8 Surface and having the same problem.
I keep getting the error message (403) Forbidden.
I know I am putting in the right information as my email and calendar are working.
my server is mail.officeanywhere.net.au
What I do need to do to make this work, I am desperate to make this app work.
Regards Fred

    Hi Fred,

    Can you please ask your email administrators if the Exchange Web Services on your exchange server can be accessed from outside your organization. This is needed for the Tasks app to connect correctly.

    Please note that this setting is not needed for your Mail/Calendar apps, but is needed for Tasks app.

    Kind regards, Valentin.Stoychev

    I noticed that I am in a window mobile 7 forum.
    I am using the MS Surface RT tablet and I bought the  Task App form MS store.
    Does this make any difference?
    What ever I try I keep getting the (403) Forbidden error message. :-(

    Hi Fred,

     The synchronization, in terms of user authorization, is the same in Tasks for WP7/WP8 and Tasks for Windows 8. Any update on your issue?

    All the best,

    Hi Kiril,
    Thanks for following up.
    I still cant get access to my exchange server.  I think it may be a problem at the exchange end.
    Its not giving permission for the app to access the information.
    As long as as I know others are making it work on MS exchange servers i will persevere.
    I will keep you in the loop.

    Hi,

    I'm having the same kind of problem.  I signed up for an Office365 account JUST so that I could use your Tasks app on both my WP7 and my new surface.

    Following your instructions in the setting section, I've tried both entering

    https://bl2prd0811.outlook.com/owa/?exsvurl=1&realm=office365.com&wa=wsignin1.0 as my server as well as

    https://bl2prd0811.outlook.com/

    Neither works.  I get error (403) Forbidden when I try.

    HELP!!

    Hello Ann,

    Office365 accounts are supported but sometimes they need "activation". Try adding the office365 account to your phone's accounts : settings > email+accounts. Once you've added it, try adding the account to Tasks and let me know if it works. I'd be glad to assist you further.

    No matter what we do this application cannot synch with my exchange server.
    It must be at your end as I am putting all of the same information as all of my computers and phones and they all synch seamlessly.
    I have had my IT person check into it and he cant make sense of why Task APP will not get into the ES.
    We can log in the ES via the web browser with no problems so why not your app?
    When I take into account the time I have wasted  trying to make it work it is the most expensive app in the world.

    Hi Fred,

    We are using the Exchange Web Services in order to authorize TAsks app to use your exchange server. You need to be sure that these are enabled on your server.

    Here is more info about EWS - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchange/dd877045(v=exchg.140).aspx

    This is a different authentication method than the one used when you login with your web browser, so please check this with your mail administrator.

    Please let us know how it goes.

    I think there is definitely as issue in your app. I am on Exchange Server 2007 and cannot log in also. I get Exchange authorization failed, but I have reentered my username and password multiple times, as well as verifying I am entering the correct server settings.

    To see if my Exchange server was blocking Tasks I downloaded and tested two other apps (Tasks at Last and Viperal Tasks) with the same account settings and both can connect and sync with my Outlook account.

    I would love to try this app but I need to sync with Outlook. Any other suggestions?

    I was mistaken, according to the data I find online I have ES 2010. When I look at the connection status the version shows 14.2.32... and I can't see the rest or expand that column. SO it looks like the ES 2010 SP1+?

    Hi,
    Please follow the instructions below for setting Exchange synchronization account up:

    ·                     in the username field enter your username

    ·                     in the password field- your password

    ·                     in the email field- your email

    ·                     the value of the server field enter https://mailxyz.org/EWS/Exchange.asmx, where https://mailxyz.org is your server

    ·                     do not fill the domain field, its value is extracted automatically from the e-mail if nothing is entered into that field and check the "Server requires SSL" checkbox.

     

    Could you, please try with the described above steps and comment if you manage to sign in and sync?
