Does anyone have a successful experience syncing a Windows Mobile smartphone
through ActiveSync 4.5 to Exchange Server 2003?

Yes. I do it all the time.

Are you having problems?

I'm having nothing but problems. The only thing I can successfully
accomplish is sync it directly with Outlook on the desktop, I have not been
able to get it to connect to the server under any circumstance and have a
list of different "support codes" which, according to T-Mobile, the most
recent one said I needed a certificate, which made me have to set up CA on
the server, then create a certificate, and then install it on the device,
only to get the same error code. T-Mobile then asked if our server required
certificates.

I presume you've done all the things on the Exchange Server you need to,
like switching on OWA, adding the right role etc.

If that is done, does this apply:

Yes, I have done everything (supposedly, I can't get straight answers on what
exactly needs to be done) that I've found that needs to be done. I did run
WinSBS03 Best Practices Analyzer yesterday and found out that the DNS client
is not configured to point to the internal IP address of the server and that
the CHCP server service is not set at default startup type.

I did not configure our server when it was installed last summer, and our
outside IT guy has never set up a windows mobile device with exchange server.
I'm just a 'budding' IT guy working on certifications, and I'm having to do
a lot of reading and just getting more confused trying to figure it out.
