Explanation
This Warning event indicates that Exchange ActiveSync has temporarily detected a connection problem between the computer that is running the Mailbox server role and the computer that is running the Client Access server role. Exchange ActiveSync will retry Exchange ActiveSync operations between the Client Access server and the Mailbox server.
This event may be logged in the following conditions:
- If there are network connectivity issues between the Mailbox
server and the Client Access server.
- If the Mailbox server is offline for any reason.
User Action
To resolve this event, consider the following:
- If this event is infrequently logged, or only during scheduled
downtime for a Mailbox server, no user action is required.
- If this event frequently occurs, do one or more of the
following:
- Check network connectivity between the Mailbox server and the
Client Access server. Use the Ping or PathPing
command-line tools to test basic connectivity. Use Ping to
isolate network hardware problems and incompatible configurations.
Use PathPing to detect packet loss over multiple-hop trips.

- Use the test-ActiveSyncConnectivity task. For
information about how to use this command, see test-ActiveSyncConnectivity in the
Exchange Server 2010 Help file.
- Review the Application log on the Mailbox server to determine
the root cause of the inability of the Client Access server to
connect to the Mailbox server.
- Check network connectivity between the Mailbox server and the
Client Access server. Use the Ping or PathPing
command-line tools to test basic connectivity. Use Ping to
isolate network hardware problems and incompatible configurations.
Use PathPing to detect packet loss over multiple-hop trips.
