Activesync on Windows 2003 server?

[highmighty]

Hi there, my smartphone Tornado (SP5m) won't be detected properly on my Windows 2003 server (w/o SP1), USB drivers seems to be the problem... can someone send me their drivers (via link, PM, etc) so I can test using those drivers instead. I definitely want to sync my Outlook contacts to my smartphone...

Any help would be appreciated, thank you all for your time!

I use Windows 2003 server and I never had any problems with ActiveSync v4.5. If you connect your phone after installing ActiveSync, it will be detected as an RNDIS device.

Do you have the latest ActiveSync (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx)update?

It works fine on XP SP2 and Vista but not with my Windows 2003 server ?!
It sure detects it as an RDNIS device and then it tries to install the drivers, then I need to click on "Continue Anyway" (because those drivers have not passed the Windows logo testing to verify it's compatibility with this version of Windows) and then an error comes up saying "Cannot install this hardware" (see attached picture)

Does yours have SP1 installed?

Thank you for your time,

Yes, I have SP1 and all latest updates installed. I'm sorry but I never had had this problem and I don't know how to assist you. :confused: You can try removing the drivers and reinstalling ActiveSync 4.5.

I had a similar problem once on XP SP2, not sure if it will assist you, but in my case my mini-USB cable became some what defective, in a way that it did not let the PC identify the mobile even though it DID see when i connected it!

Can you please send me your driver (.inf) so I can try yours instead?
