Not 2 months after I bought my HTC 8X at full retail, I woke up one morning and got a 85010004 error when trying to sync with Exchange. Apparently, our corporate IT decided to limit ActiveSync to iOS devices so I can no longer sync.
I've searched every possible method to make this work - installing certificates, spoofing the device ID (can't figure out how to do that), alternative Exchange clients like Touchdown (they don't make one for WP8), and even somehow trying to figure out if I can sync my Exchange account to my Windows Live account (you can't as far as I know). Without having even USB sync to the client Outlook, I think I'm screwed and will have to switch to the iPhone. The thought of that sickens me - iPhones are for old people and corporate drones.
As a last resort, does anybody have any ideas on how I can sync my Exchange data? I think the only possible way would be if I could somehow change the deviceID or devicetype that it identifies to the server - I used an Exchange test client (EAS MD), and if I changed the device type to match my iPad the test client was able to establish a connection.
Even if I could sync one last time, at least I would get all my contacts back.
