How to confiure an IPhone to use Exchange

I struggle to get the president of our company Iphone to work with our windows 2003 server. 
I used this document to setup the IPhone.

The phone validated and appeared to be working fine, but no email, calendars or contacts would appear in the phone.  Although phone would report that it was updated.

I realized that I was getting an error when I tried from a browser to hit https://registerdomainname/oma
I found this article below that I tried first.  I was able to connect to the server just fine.  However, I realized that I was not requiring SSL connections.

Once I enable require ssl connections I had the same error.  I looked a little further and found this document that solved the problem.
