Help MS Exchange birthday field not in sync list

+Mie+

Lurker
I have just go my S2 a few days ago. Spent hours setting it to sync OTA with my corporate MS Exchange. I have managed to sync all my 900+ contacts, emails and calendar. But there is one issue. I have data in the birthday field in quite a few of my contacts. But the sync does not carry the birthday field to the S2. When I run a birthday reminder utility, there is not dates to read. How do I make it sync the birthday data? Is there a way to select which field to sync?
 
After further check of the phone, I found this. The birthday data are actually synched with the calendar in the phone. I say this because birthdays appear on the respective date in the calendar. But when I browse the details of a contact, I could not see the birthday field or data. Is the problem with the birthday utility that cannot read the dates?
 
Actually, the birthday reminders in the calendar are data read by it in MS Exchange. There was no specific process done the S2. The question is still:

How do I make android support and sync birthday data with MS Exchange? How to add this field in android as a field to sync beside the default fields like names and numbers?
 
I have looked around in this forum and others about this issue. It looks like there are issues/bugs on birthday field sync between android phones and MS Exchange. There are many posts about birthday fields not appearing on the phone. So I will just rest my case until the bug is fixed by Google. Just have to keep patient. This is the only negative point about this phone as far as I am concerned.
