ActiveSync Guest Mode

[kaiser4782787890]

So, I have the HTC TyTn II and I sync only with my laptop and use my desktop just to transfer files and maybe install applications. The most annoying this is that ActiveSync wants to create a sync profile with my phone but I always have to click cancel and then it goes to "Guest" mode as noted on the top. I finally dug out the disassembler and nop'd out the call to the Synchronization Wizzard so it enters Guest mode immediately and quietly. Uploaded is A/S version 4.5.0 Build 5096 if anyone has a dedicated computer to upload files/download apps but not necessarily want to keep track of outlook/contacts/notes/etc

Hope someone can find this usefull.

Nice read. I would suppose the registry modification would be easier for upgrades/updates as well. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for this! I'll try it on my work laptop tomorrow.

I know that trick but it's not working for me.

When I make that key in my registry, I can connect my PDA to my laptop, and it will be in Guest-Mode.
BUT, when I open Active Sync on my device to sync with my works exchange server, I will not work.
However, when I simply cancel Active Sync partnership wizard on my laptop, (so connect in guest-mode) I can sync fine.

I hoped this would have been the solution for us.
We have a lot of users with there smartphone. Coz they use flexible workspaces The sync on several pc's. We don't want to make a new partnership every time. Canceling the partnership makes it possible to sync with Exchange. But with this ActiveSync version this doesnt work. Also the GuestOnly register change syncing with exchange is not possible.

Anyone a solution?

I get an error, "cannot find pegconv.dll" when I launch the program. I have activesync 4.5.0 (Build 5096).

I think when using this program to force ActiveSync guest mode, it just adds:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"GuestOnly"=dword:00000001 to the registry.

That tweak is not working for me.
I can connect succesfully, but my device won't sync.
Clicking "sync" on my device, just doesn't do anything.

BTW: I sync with an Echange server through LAN network.
