Active Sync IP-AUTD failed to initialize error [0x80004005)

Server: SBS 2003 R2
Email: Exchange 2003 SP2

Recently installed new microsoft fix: KB950159

Since installing the fix, and some other recent fixes I've been seeing the following errors in Event Log under Applications

Source: Server ActiveSync
Event ID: 3024
Type: Error
IP-based AUTD failed to initialize. Error code: [0x80004005].

Source: Server ActiveSync
Event ID: 3015
Type: Error
IP-based AUTD failed to initialize because the processing of notifications
could not be setup. Error code [0x80004005]. Verify that no other
applications are currently bound to UDP port [2883], or try specifying a
different port number.

This seems to happen everytime a message is pushed to a device, but the devices do seem to be functioning correctly.

I've followed some microsoft articles to do a

netstat -ano

And verified that 2883 is shown:

UDP 0.0.0.0:2883 *:* 2024

The PID is the same as DNS, which I'm guessing is okay.

Whilst these errors don't seem to be affecting functionality I would like them resolved, unfortunately there isn't much out there suggesting a solution.

Other than the fix installed nothing else has changed.

Any help would be appreciated.

I experienced this same problem. Restarting the DNS Server Service resolved the problem for me, also.

Thanks!

Thanks for that - had the same error for a day or two...
I read your post and retstarted the DNS Server service and all is resolved.

I think your solution is temporary..your problem is going to pop-up again when you reboot. The problem is the result of installing MS08-037 (951746 and 951748) and needs a registry edit to resolve the problem permanently or until a new patch from MS is produced.

had the same problem but only started looking for it because all my iphones ios 3.0 and 4.0 started consuming a lot of battery. they would use an entire battery in half a day.

after doing the fix above works great again.

found that the active sync devices would ping the server several time per minute using all the battery.

Can be confirmed by looking in the IIS logs on the client access server and searching for "DeviceType=iPhone&Cmd=Ping"
