We have just noticed that if a users password is changed in AD that the mobile phones continue to sync for at least 24 hours even though they have the old password. What could be causing this behavior. Exchange 2003 sp2, ISA 2006, Win 2003 forest, mobile 6 devices. On another note it appears that Outlook will also function with the exchange server after a password change on the server. NOTE: this is not the client changing the password this is an admin changing it at the AD level.
I have never seen this. At my customers, if I change an user password at the domain level, both Outlook and the devices loo connection and you need to give them the new password. But then, I usually work with small customers who have small netowrks. Maybe your AD server is taking time to "spread" the new passwords around to other servers. -- ---- Helio Diamant - MS-MVP/Mobile Devices Editor www.pocketpcfreak.com "JPrice" wrote in message news:E9C98DCA-6223-410F-9414-F4D4C643760E@microsoft.com... > We have just noticed that if a users password is changed in AD that the > mobile phones continue to sync for at least 24 hours even though they have > the old password.
