CAUSE

This issue occurs because the Exchange ActiveSync ProxyHandler does not close anonymous connections between the Exchange 2010 Client Access server and the Exchange Server 2003 servers. Then, a System.ObjectDisposedException exception is thrown that causes the MSExchangeSyncAppPool application pool to crash.
