I noticed that I have quite a few Event ID 1008 Warnings on my Exchange server today. All of them are exactly the same and are all for the same user. They occur every 5-10 min. So I have discovered through research that this is caused (at
least in this case) by a message being sent from the mobile device (iPhone in this case) that is to big.
I have run a test on my own device (Droid X) where I attempted to send a message with a 14MB attachment. The exact error is logged at the same time as the other intial error. This is easy enough to fix: you simply need to go to the
Outbox on the phone or device and delete the stuck message.
However, I am now currious where this limit is set and how to find the exact size limit. Through searching no one seems to know, but the limit is deteremined somewhere between 5-10MB. Also, it is not set in Exchange as others like to recommend.
My send connector message size is 50MB and there is no limit set on the ActiveSync policy.
Anyone know the answer to this? Is it an Exchange setting or is it determined by the particular phone/tablet?\
Thanks.
Event 1008 for others reference:
An exception occurred and was handled by Exchange ActiveSync. This may have been caused by an outdated or corrupted Exchange ActiveSync device partnership. This can occur if a user tries to modify the same item from multiple computers. If this is the case,
Exchange ActiveSync will re-create the partnership with the device. Items will be updated at the next synchronization.
