Exchange Activesync not working



I Experiencing a problem on some Android devices, the setup of a mailbox with Activesync do not work. This behavior is caused by wrong permissions on the affected account which is migrated from a windows NT/2000/2003 active directory system to a 2008 one and the account was also a domain admin.
The security are changed by a process on the PDC every hour and the account miss the “inerithance” flag on the security.
This article describe better the behavior:

And this is the solution to let the configuration works on Android device: 
By default members of an AD protected group like domain admins or enterprise admin cannot use microsoft activesync with a exchange 2010 server. They get a error like this: “Result: ActiveSync encountered a problem on the server. Support code: 0×85010014″.
Solution 1: Remove the protected group memberships for this account, more information about protected groups can be found here.
Solution 2: Goto active directory users and computers, turn on advanced features on the view menu. Go to the user account, security tab and tick the advanced button. After that you have to enable Include inheritable permissions from this object’s parent. Now activesync will work.
Note: some rules apply every hour and will disable inheritance so you have to activesync within this time otherwise you have to repeat the step in Solution 2. When get a other device to activesync with you also have to repeat this action.

Windows 8 and DFS troubleshooting

I had a problem on a W8 workstation and a dfs share, the user has also activated the offline file function.
The user still get on file list and dir only the directory available offline.
 
After some test I have found this solution:

1. Add this registry key
HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
New DWORD
Name RequireSecureNegotiate
Value 0

As per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2686098

2.
Disable offline files
add this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Csc\Parameters
Name FormatDatabase 
New REG_DWORD 
Value 1

Rboot
Enable Oflline file
