First off, it's too bad Microsoft couldn't include Outlook with the other Office products. In any case, I have had no problem configuring my exchange email address on my iPhone, iPad, PC laptop. I've tried all sorts of combinations for server and domain, including the one I use for my iPhone, but not success! Very frustrating.
Suppose my domain name was mydomain. On my iPhone I leave "domain" blank. I put in for server: webmail.mydomain.com.
I've tried that, I've tried addition both mydomain and mydomain.com to domain. I've tried adding https:// to URL and also adding /owa at end (which I need for web log on).
On top of that after trying several combos Mail program presents me with blank screen, and I have to reset to get the screen back.
Not a happy camper!

2012-11-27T17:10:51+00:00 Has anyone confirmed this Surface RT tablet working with Exchange Server 2003?
I have the Surface RT working with Exchange Server 2003. We had to install the certificate on the tablet (per previous posts).
It works except attachments usually do not download. Once in a while (1 in 50 maybe) a download will actually work. This makes is unusable for me. Touchdown is going to have an Windows 8 email APP in 1-2 months. They are going to let me beta test.

2012-11-21T02:44:40+00:00 Ok after working on this for hours and hours - finally did the next logical thing and checked Exchange server's application log.. low and behold it was a permission issue on my mailbox. So if Active Sync has never worked for you before and you can't get it to work on the full Windows 8 version then check there..see what showed up on mine, below.
Log Name: Application
Source: MSExchange ActiveSync
Date: 11/20/2012 12:20:59 PM
Event ID: 1053
Task Category: Configuration
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: exch-cas
Description:
Exchange ActiveSync doesn't have sufficient permissions to create the "CN="Active Directory operation failed on JDC1. This error is not retriable. Additional information: Access is denied.
Active directory response: 00000005: SecErr: DSID-031521D0, problem 4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0
Make sure the user has inherited permission granted to domain\Exchange Servers to allow List, Create child, Delete child of object type "msExchActiveSyncDevices" and doesn't have any deny permissions that block such operations.
