EAS had worked until a 3rd party product called SiteMinder was introduced to
force two factor authentication to the FE server.
This did not work (because the PPC clients don't yet support client certificate
authentication), so they removed SiteMinder and went back to the original
configuration.
SiteMinder snaps into IIS and had apparently modified something in the virtual
directory.

Rebuilt the EAS virtual directory that had been created for Active Sync. (this FE
server was only configured for Active Sync, it is not serving OWA and does not have
an Exchange Virtual directory. The default web site has been stopped and OMA/EAS
are set up under a new EAS virtual directory)
