Application error ID: 3015 and 3024 Source: Server ActiveSync

You may receive the following error events in the Application log:

Log: Application
Type: Error
Event: 3015

Source: Server ActiveSync

Description: IP-based AUTD failed to initialize because the processing of notifications could not be setup. Error code [0x80004005]. Verify that no other applications are currently bound to UDP port [2883], or try specifying a different port number.

Log: Application
Type: Error
Event: 3024

Source: Server ActiveSync

Description: IP-based AUTD failed to initialize. Error code: [0x80004005].

Cause:

This event indicates that more than one application is attempting to use the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) listen port.

Resolution 1:

In my case the DNS process ID was using UDP port 2883.

You can check this by running "netstat -ano|more" looking for UDP 0.0.0.0:2883 and cross-reference the PID in the Task Manager.

After restarting DNS service, the port returned to the w3wp service and the error message will despair immediately (reboot is no required)

Resolution 2:

To resolve this problem, navigate to this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

and edit the "ReservedPorts" value by ADDING the following lines:

645-1646
1701-1701
1812-1813
2883-2883
4500-4500

This change requires a reboot, and the fix resolved the problem immediately after the reboot.
