I've been told that if you use one to connect to ActiveSync/Exchange you cannot have a space in your username.
Does anyone have one who can confirm if this is correct?
Exchange will always setup an alias for your username (usually without a space) - it might be worth asking your admin what your alias is.Does anyone have one who can confirm if this is correct?
The alias is also usually visible in OWA as part of the URL.

Thanks, I did Google but perhaps on the wrong things.
Makes sense as I believe this is an HTC, so whether it's a 7 thing or an HTC thing I don't know, but it seems fking retarded.
yeah my google foo is in at the moment, but the workaround looks like to use the email address and no domain name (which was what i was going to suggest funnily enough..but dont have a win7 phone.. )Makes sense as I believe this is an HTC, so whether it's a 7 thing or an HTC thing I don't know, but it seems fking retarded.
mind you i NEVER allowed such a thing in a username. Probably goes back to my MS lan manger 1.1 days and DOS...
the WP7 is just like the first iphone and android... released too soon , with limitations, that just like the others will be fine in 6 months .. after the first service pack..

The Exchange aliases are also "Joe Bloggs" format. We've got a right mix of phones syncing already via ActiveSync but this is someone's own Phone 7 mobile (another argument altogether) and is the first time we've had a problem.

As lestag suggested, would the email address work? I would be surprised though...
I wouldn't as long as its a valid UPN in ADNot tried it for things such as IMAP / POP3 though.

As to the original question about Phone 7 usernames I don't actually know if this works but I would expect it to
