mobile device is not getting emails unless manually check .... SBS 2003 R2

mobile device is not getting emails unless manually check .... SBS 2003 R2

I rebooted the SBS 2003 R2, the customer said they are not getting new emails on the phone unless manually check.

checked lots of thing, even modified registry.

eventually an internet post point me to restart the  dns server.

yes, the dns server had  a port conflict with Microsoft exchange active sync (a UDP port), lots of errors logged in the event log.

restart dns server, all good
