Event ID 1001 and 3031

A couple of weeks ago, we had an issue where the Pocket PC phones were not syncing with the exchange server. I started to peruse through the logs and noticed that event id’s 1001 and 3031 were appearing quite frequently. After searching around, I came across KB 817379 for event id 3031 and KB 832297 for event id 1001.

After checking the security settings on the directories in IIS, I noticed that the back-end exchange server’s Exchange directory in IIS had the option for Integrated Windows Authentication unchecked. How it got unchecked, we have no idea. We hadn’t made any changes at all to either the front-end or back-end exchange server that day, so we were puzzled as to how this happened.

To fix this issue, we checked the option for Integrated Windows Authentication (see image below) on the Exchange directory in IIS on the back-end server and restarted both the servers. After they came back up, everything was back to normal.
