Your server administrator has limited the number of items you can open simultaneously

calendarexchange-2007outlook-2007synchronization

I receive the following sync error in Outlook 2007 SP2:

Your server administrator has limited
the number of items you can open
simultaneously. Try closing messages
you have opened or removing
attachments and images from unsent
messages you are composing.

It is stopping me updating another user's calendar, which is open within my Outlook. Change are simply not syncing, either way.

Is there a fix for this, e.g. increasing the number of permitted connections on the Exchange Server? We are using Exchange Server 2007 on a domain.

This is usually caused by creating too many RPC connections to Exchange. Do you have alot of notifications, or reminders open, or not dismissed, as these can create an RPC connection each.

You can disable the session limit by changing the following registry key on the server:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem\Disable Session Limit 

Set it to 1 to disable. However, you may want to find out the underlying cause as to why you are using up the connections, rather than disabling it, as too many connections will have a performance impact on your exchange server.
