A bug has been identified in Apple’s iOS 6.1 release for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.  iOS 6.1 devices interacting with the Exchange calendar are causing an increased load on the Exchange servers and could cause a service disruption/outage for all users.

At this time, ITS asks all Apple iOS users to stop managing their Exchange calendars from their mobile device.  This includes accepting, declining or modifying calendar appointments. Viewing your calendar from your mobile device is fine.

See our Best Practices for Outlook and Mobile Device Users  for additional information.

ITS will continue to monitor the Hawkmail service and will take additional actions if needed to maintain the stability of the service.
