Iphone AcvtiveSync Issues after installing Exchange 2010 SP1

[guest]

I have a mix of iphone 3GS and iphone 4 users. We have been running Exchange 2010 RTM Rollup 4 with no issues the last 8+ Months

Last night we installed Exchange 2010 SP1 on our production Exchange Server. All our iphone users are experiencing issues with activesync. All running IOS4.01

We have 2x Palm Treo's that are not experiencing any issues with SP1.

Mail is being delivered to the iphones - we can see users/subject/preview of email - but when opening the email item - no content is shown

"this message has not been downloaded from the server"

In the event log of the exchange server the following is logged:



Watson report about to be sent for process id: 6268, with parameters: E12, c-RTL-AMD64, 14.01.0218.011, AirSync, MSExchange ActiveSync, Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.InboundConversionOptions.CheckImceaDomain, UnexpectedCondition:ArgumentException, 2908, 14.01.0218.015.

ErrorReportingEnabled: True



Exchange 2010 with CAS/Hub/Mailbox

Server 2008 R2

Running on ESXI 4.0





I have checked with www.testexchangeconnectivity.com and confirmed no issues ( + my palm treo users are fine)

I have deleted the mail account from my iphone4 and also from the ECP deleted the partnership and waited for AD replication - issue still occuring

I also ran the logging tool to see what was happenning

OK, I got some more info on this issue and luckily there was a repro available as well, which we used to verify the issue and resolution. I am providing details below, please check them out and let us know if this helps you to resolve the issue.

Please run the following command under Exchange Management Shell and verify that there is one domain marked as "Default" and it's DomainName & Name values are valid domain names. We were able to repro the issue by setting a domain name with a space in it, like "aa bb".

Get-AcceptedDomain | fl

If you also have an invalid domain name there (like one with a space in it), then taking out the space and restarting the server will fix the EAS, OWA & IMAP issues.

Command to run under EMS would be:

Set-AcceptedDomain –Identity <value> -Name “ValidSMTPDomainName”

So for example it could be:

Set-AcceptedDomain –Identity “My Company” –Name “MyCompany.Com”

or:

Set-AcceptedDomain –Identity “ABC Local” –Name “ABC.Local”

This resolves all my issues. OWA now works, iPhone works, etc..

I spent the entire afternoon and 3 hours after work with MS Support, they went away after collecting all the trace logs, etc... and are calling back tomorrow.

I did not use the scripts, I just selected a second domain and set it as default then changed the name of the orginal domain to a valild domain.com name and set the original domain back as default.

This is gone: Exception message: imceaDomain must be a valid domain name.

Thanks to everyone, the phone will be quite tomorrow!

Thanks for that - just done the changes and my iphone is working again!



Weird thing was - my OWA was working fine and my non-iphone users were fine as well - only thing that was broken was my iphone users activesync

Glad its been sorted

Same here, upgraded org from 2007SP1-2007SP2-2010-2010SP1 and iPhone stopped working

Mr Haque's suggestion worked, i had spaces in the name of my default domain, renamed it to my domain name, and after a server reboot, the iphone immediately started syncing again.



Was quite a headache, spent about 12 hrs recreating owa directories, playing around with adsiedit, reinstalling the CAS role and even an entire new Exchange Server without SP1. The latter wasn't a solution, because the mailboxes have already been updated to Version 37 (SP1) and were not compatible to ActiveSync-pre-SP1 CAS.
