Recently, my Exchange Server company upgraded their SSL to a Wildcard Certificate. As you probably know if this article has peaked your interests, Mobile 5 devices don't like this. In order to get your device to accept this configuration, you'll need to make 1 modification to your phones registry. This process is Really Easy and quick (10 minutes) so don't be shy.
Here's the link: PHM Smartphone Regedit. The file I downloaded is called "Smartphone 2002, 2003 (ARM/PXA)". This file will have an extension '.CAB'. Save it to a local folder on your computer. There is nothing you need to do to this file on your computer
Use Windows Explorer or whatever you'd like to copy that .cab file onto your phone.
Just click it or open it. It installs quite easy. After the installation, you'll see a link to "PHM Registry Editor" in your programs.
Navigate to 'Hkey_Current_User' > 'Software' > 'Microsoft' > 'ActiveSync' > 'Partners'. Once you click on partners, you'll see registry entries.
When you select a row and hit values, you get a list of attributes for that registry entry. *Special Note* I repeated this step for both the registry entries you see in the above step.
You'll notice if you scroll down the list, you won't see an attribute called 'Secure'. We need to add this and set it's value to '0'. So lets start by adding the DWORD Key!
Behold, you'll see 'Secure' and it's got a value of '0'!
At this point, you can just continue your Exchange Syncing with your Treo 700w or other smartphone and everything should work. Enjoy!
If this doesn't work for you, you might want to restore or format your device and start from scratch. On a palm, you need to take of the battery case and push the reset button and hold the power button. If you are hooked up to an exchange server, this isn't a big deal because all your contacts and email will populate once you get it connected.
