One of the benefits of Apple's iOS devices such as the iPad and iPhone is that you can upgrade to the latest version as soon as it comes out. Being on the cutting edge is usually a good thing, but sometimes it can come back to bite you. If you are connecting to an Exchange server for mail and calendar services, the latest version of iOS has an unpleasant surprise in store for you.

Reports started surfacing in late January about excessive logging on Exchange servers caused by the upgrade to 6.1. A report on Microsoft Technet states:

I had a user upgrade to 6.1 and immediately after he finished, his phone/IPAD started causing excessive logging on the exchange server.

I have iOS 6.1 on my iPhone and I'm helping troubleshoot this where I work. I'll post updates if/when I have them.

1. I just turned off logging

I know, I know. But the company's president upgraded, and there we are.

6. Not sure if you saw onehandle's update. Looks like a fix is on the way, 6.1.1

Hopefully that will be the end of that.

2. 'some enterprises are banning it' Could be just one. No details there.

A tiny software glitch, that may or many not be on Apple's side. It will be fixed.

It has not been 'banned' in the enterprise I exist in, nor the one my wife works in. And thousands and thousands of iPhones and iPads access them.

3. Our servers are seeing the same thing. nt
