Troubleshooting tips

I've changed passcode for the Exchange accounts of all users. But they're still able to access it as they've logged in previously. How do I ensure the user logs in with the new passcode?

  • Open IIS on the server machine, where your Exchange Server is running.
  • In the Connections pane, expand the Server node and click Application Pools.
  • In the Application Pools page, select MSExchangeSyncAppPool and click on Recycle and follow the on-screen instructions to refresh the session tokens on the devices. Users whose password has been changed will be prompted for the new password, as the old password cannot renew the session.
