I set up the Exchange sync and email and contacts are working fine, but the calendar is not working. When I go into menu and hit refresh it says that authentification failed. We have Exchange 2003, would that make a difference for corporate calendar sync? Any one with knowledge of exchange have any thoughts before I contact our IT guys on Monday?
Same here. We have Exchange 2007.. Email and Contacts sync fine. Calendar just says 'Sync Failed'.. and for my company I am the admin for our exchange box... this definitely seems like a handset problem to me.
and you didn't do anything special? i am experiencing the similar problems to the others. Contacts and emails are ok but calendar fails on authentication
1. Remove the exchange acct
2. Rebooted the Droid
3. Opened the Corporate Calendar and added the exchange account here instead of doing it through email or through Accounts and Sync
Calendar, Emails, and Contacts are all syncing fine now.

I was ripping my hair out trying to find a fix for this problem. Thanks for posting. This info will be included in the FAQ.
FINALLY WORKING! I have seen lots of tricks to this, so I cannot guarantee this one will work for you.
First, I am syncing with Exchange 2003 SP2. I can use OWA with no SSL. To access it I use <domainname>/exchange.
I first tried installing Exchange by Touchdown and syncing. See Corporate Calendar - Android Forums for the steps. I left the trial installed.
No success so I tried hatch.duffy's post and removed Corporate Sync and reinstalled from Corporate Calendar. Still no luck.
Finally, I tried this again, but I left off the /exchange that I use in OWA. Bingo. I suddenly get Calendar, Contacts, and Mail. I removed Touchdown and it still syncs.
Thanks, hutch.duffy, but it still didn’t work for me. However, a friend told me about a programme called MyLink, I tested the beta version and I must say I finally find something that works for me.
In case someone wants to test it:
I too had sync failed on calendar. After removing the corporate account on my Milestone and then readding it through Accounts & Sync, the calendar is fine.
I tried MyLink Advanced too, it worked great, pretty full featured with mail, contacts, notes, calendar and tasks. I had a bit of an issue with the calendar though, very basic. But, they released an update earlier this week that sorted the calendar right out, proper day/week/month view.
Its the best thing i have tried so far @ waveglobal dot net

This did it for me (entered the account through the calendar as suggested in other posts). Thanks!
Mine was syncing, but stopped after I had to reset my password (our policy required password changed every 45 days). To get it up and working again, I went to Accounts and Sync and turned off the calendar sync, backed out, then went back in and turned it back on. The calendar was re-synced up to date within a few minutes.
I was having an issue where the Corporate Calendar wouldn't sync because of duplicate calendars with the same name (i had recreated an exchange acct for a user multiple times and each version was still in the corporate calendar even though I had deleted them). What I had to do was go into settings -> applications -> manage applications -> menu key -> filter -> show all and then find Corporate Calendar, and then go in and delete all data. This will reset the settings and data for the exchange calendar, then when you go back in it will re-download the whole calendar. Hope this helps.
