This Warning event indicates that a mobile device user's attempt to perform a full-text search of their whole mailbox hosted on a computer that is running Microsoft Exchange failed. This event does not indicate that a user was unable to search the mailbox data that has been synchronized to their local device.

This event may occur if the following conditions are true:

To resolve this event, consider the following options. These options apply to your ActiveSync users:

• If you do not want users to be able to search their mailbox data on the server, no user action is required.

• If you want users to be able to search their mailbox data on the server, do one or more of the following:

  • Make sure that the MSExchangeSearch service is running on your Mailbox servers.

  • Make sure that you have enabled full text search on the appropriate database on the Mailbox server. For more information, see Disable or Enable Exchange Search.
