imageiPhone Users Reporting Problems With Microsoft Exchange 2003 After Upgrading To iOS 4.2.1

iPhone users are reporting issues with Microsoft Exchange 2003 after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1 that was released by Apple last week.

The problem is compounded by the fact that there are actually two different issues affecting the same feature.

    I didn't realize this was the problem until this morning & while my emails still come through I have lost all calendar visibility. Is a fix in the works? This is an unacceptable error.

    Just recently upgraded to Exchange 2010 because we were having an iPhone battery draining issue that was somehow related to calendars on Exchange 2003 on iOS 4.1.x. Exchange 2003 is getting old. Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac doesn't support Exchange 2003 and neither does Mail app for Mac. Exchange 2010 is a bit to migrate to but worth it if you can do it.

    So far - we do not thave the issue. We have Mac and PC desktops and did have issue with Snow-Leopard, so far the iOS4.1x is good - but will keep an eye open. The upgrade to Exchange 2011 requires a hardware and sofware migration - not an easy updrade for sure. Why both Exchange versions are not suported is crazy!

    Calendar items not showing on my calendar on phone but showing up on outlook is not new, I have had this issue along with co workers for over a year it's why many stay on blackberry along with the hiding of my emails and less frequently my contacts so even the iPhone favorits become phone numbers instead of names (kills the use of the phone - happened 3 times this year power down helped). If "upgraded" to exchange 2007 if I am not mistaken but that did not help! Apple please look into these 3 issues!

    I had issues syncing some Exchange 2010 accounts to iPhones and iPads, yet other accounts on the same device would sync.Fixed it by going to the domain controller, Active Directory -> Users -> Username -> Properties -> Security -> Advanced ->check Include inheritable permissions from this object's parentTry that and see if it helps.

    Just moved everyone over to MS BPOS, but use a Exchange 2003 for an extended family mail server. Family members with iPhones are complaining about this.

    Don't know how big your company is but we just moved to BPOS and like it a lot. No more exchange servers and people have access from everywhere.

    I was experiencing this same problem after the update to 4.2.1 and I thought that this was a problem of our corporate MS exchange server last week. After missing two meetings, I checked with our IT, I then compared the same meetings on a colleague’s iPhone 4 that still had the 4.1 version and he did not experience any problems. I then downgraded back to 4.1 and everything has been working normal again. I see no point for iPhone 4 uses to upgrade to 4.2.1, since most of these new features are directed at the iPad anyway.

    I would agree with the exeption of the find my phone feature as this was the main reason that I chose to upgrade

    I thought I was going crazy. I upgraded my iPad to 4.2.1 and started having conflicting calendars with my iPhone which is still at 4. Kinda nice to know it's not me.Steve

    We are having similar issue.Inbox & Calendar will only sync if we set Inbox to sync 'no limits'. It will not sync if set to '3 days' or '2 weeks' ... or '1 month'. Other mobile device, i.e Windows mobile etc do not have this issue.Does anyone know what component does iphone/ipad use for synching with Exchange server 2003?

    Initially, I thought my phone went bad, as I could not scroll up and down (stuck), and the battery drained in 1 hour. I went to the apple store, and they gave me a new phone. After setting it up, and put all I want I need and use on it, I started having the same problem. I reset, and started from Scratch. But, this time without a single app on it, except Microsoft exchange, as I use the phone to get my e-mail from work (corporate account). same problem again. I removed exchange, and everything worked fine. re-install exchange, it works for few days, and back to the same problem!! the phone menu gets stuck, cannot dial, scroll up or down,...
