I'm having the same problem. I'm going to impliment Method 2 on KB 817379.
But I have a couple of questions. Should the procedures in KB 898131 and
817379 both be performed? Also, the "URL that OMA builds"? On my phone I
will type http://mail/exchange-oma/admin? Where is name resolved at to know
that mail is my server and not mail.mycompany.com? Something seems like it
is missing here. Thanks, Mike Lawson
