Activesync

[jjones]

Ok, here's one to test you.

i've had to hard reset my XDA 2 times since i got it, and each time i have to create a new profile on Activesync, is there any way i can use it with the same profile and if so, how do i do it, because so far, whenever i've tried it it just says there's already a device with that name, please choose another name

Ta y'all

Nice article, but i think not that inforamtion that jjones wanted.
His prolem is, that after a hard reset of his device, he has to create a new connection in active sync for his device. He would prefer to use the old existing configured connection.
As much as i know, it isn't possible to do so. The other question is, why he has so often to hardreset his device....

Jjones,

I think I posted too quickly and mixed up my intention.

I have found on the web site http://www.mtekk.com.au/browse/page938.html, a section suggesting you can rename your device to the name of the previous partnership.

I have never tried it but did promossed myself I would try it next time as I'm seek of uninstall/reinstall Activesync to keep the default POCKET_PC parnership.

See the past bellow for direct instruction.

Rebuilding your Pocket PC after a hard reset.


....

Next, after restarting the device, correct the clock and time zone as before then set its Name using the Start | Settings | System | About | Device ID screen. It is permitted to reuse the same name as before, although this entails one extra step in Active Sync - before connecting the device with the same name, you must first delete the existing partnership of the same name.
If there are multiple partnerships defined, select the correct partnership first using File | Mobile Device. Next select File | Delete Partnership and answer Yes. If you wish to delete the synchronised files folder (the <device name> My Documents directory) select Yes again. I strongly recommend renaming this folder and selecting Yes here to ensure no traces of the previous partnership remain, you may always copy files from the renamed copy into the new one once created. Otherwise there always the chance of old redundant or even incorrect data getting across from the previous build.
Now, connect the freshly reset and renamed device to the PC and establish a standard partnership using the wizard, let it synchronise all your contacts, etc. as desired, reload all your software and finallygo back tothe start of this document and configure your backups!
