Now, it's hard to imagine how a client bug would cause excessive log growth OR server performance. Clearly, this is an Exchange bug.

So it's bad for Apple that Microsoft has a bug in their server hardware. Amazing.

Right! I think it's really lame of Apple, that they are incapable to fix Mcrosofts bugs.

It could be a poorly behaved client which keeps reconnecting to the server excessively.  Assuming each connection is logged, then that would cause log file growth and potentially make it slower and slower to access the log file.

Then again, MS should have something in place to throttle client accesses on the server side.  Otherwise it's susceptible to DoS attacks. (EDIT: Looks like they do, as this is one of the workarounds to the problem).

Anyways all hypotheticals at this point...

I don't see why it's impossible. The server and client work together. If the client does something repeatedly/endlessly (just as an example), the server might log that, and the constant activity might affect performance.

And this didn't happen in 6.0.

Seems like MS is just truthfully stating a workaround that may be useful. Why should MS conceal this fact that could be invaluable to some Exchange admins?

We would hope that most IT departments would never put their users on any new OS update (like iOS 6.1) soon after release. But many personal iPhones are used, and out of the IT department's control.

I posted this a couple of days ago, courtesy of 9to5:

"AOL's corporate Enterprise Messaging Operations team has been monitoring a rapidly increasing and unusually large volume of traffic across our enterprise mail environment originating from iOS devices running the new iOS 6.1 update. We have researched this problem and appears to be connected to a recently identified issue that seems to cause these iOS devices to continuously loop while synchronizing a recurring calendar meeting invitation. Similar problems have been reported by a number of sources to several media outlets across the Web in the past few days. While our team continues to work productively and rapidly with Apple and Microsoft to resolve the issue, it has been necessary to temporarily disable the ability to accept or manage calendar meetings using mobile devices to ensure that we maintain the integrity of our corporate enterprise messaging platform. Since this change is limited to managing calendar invitations, by disabling them temporarily we allow our employees to continue to experience the excellent productivity these devices bring to our enterprise until this issue is resolved."

You guys saying this is a MS problem and not an Apple problem need to stop. This is a client side problem in iOS 6.1. I'm sure it will be fixed.

On the bright side (sarc) If you are interested in picking up some AAPL shares, this should be good for another $10 off the price tomorrow. :-/

So MSFT Exchange Server version 2010 runs fine with iOS 4, 5, and 6... but with the Apple iOS 6.1 update issues arise... and Microsoft sucks.

How many of you guys actually WORK for a company with corporate email?  :D

If a client can bog down a server so badly, it indicates a serious server weakness.

DOS hackers must be listening to this one.

So Apple has been asked by MS to help!    I'm sure Apple can give MS good advise on a fix.

I've been having a semi-related problem where my Outlook 2011 has been experiencing frequent hanging and crashes due to some sort of "known conflict" with our corporate Exchange servers. My IT guys recommended I switch over to Apple Mail and Calendar until the situation can be resolved. Obviously something has happened not only with iOS 6.1 but between Outlook 2011 and Exchange as well. I just hope whatever the issue may be it is rectified quickly.
