We discovered that the ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory is missing on the SBS2008 server - I have been trying to recreate it using the New-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory command.  I included the command and error. The account has admin exchange rights and I have been running the command at an elevated privilege.

 

New-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -WebsiteName "SBS Web Applications" -InternalUrl "https://Sites/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync" -ExternalAuthenticationMethods Basic -InternalAuthenticationMethods Basic
