WM 6.1 - Can It Sync with Two PCs?

[Hissing Syd]

I have had a problem with every WM 6.1 ROM I have tried. After flashing, I set up a partnership with my Vista laptop, through WMDC, with no problems. However, when I then set up a second partnership with my Vista desktop pc, syncing with my laptop then fails every time. When I go back to my desktop, that fails as well, both with a message that "there is a problem with the PC".

I thought at first that this was an Outlook problem, and I had started a thread for that. Since then, I have flashed another 6.1 ROM, syncing only with my laptop. I had no problems, day after day. However, as soon as I added a second partnership with my desktop, I experienced the same sync problems.

When I revert to a WM 6 ROM, I have no problems with syncing to both computers.

Is there anyone out there who syncs a WM 6.1 ROM with two Vista computers?

6.1 has this problem. I've tried DOZENS of ROMs with the same results.

The only workaround I've found is to disable the calendar sync, sync, then enable calendar, and sync

Thanks for confirming the problem, Radimus. I wondered whether it was just me!

I don't know if the problem lies with WM 6.1 or Vista's WMDC (which only claims compatibility with WM 6.0).

I will try your workaround.

[Radimus]

it is 6.1

I've tested with every combination of WMDC and 4.5, on vista and XP

Hopefully WM7 will fix this issue

You could try Funambol or Schduleworld to sync that information over the air... and then sync Outlook (or even Thunderbid) with the Funambol service. you can sync as many computers and devices as you want. I haven't used activesync in a very long time thanks to this solution.

Plus it's free.

Good luck...

I've got a Vista Ultimate pc with Outlook 2007 and an XP pc with Outlook 2003.
I never can sync both calendars with my WM6 rom. So its not WM6.1 only thats the problem.
I think its caused by WMDC personally..

I analysed the Problem (WM6.1, 2 PC's Vista, Office 2007):
If you sync new empty Outlook-Po-Poxes then you'll have ounly Problems with Serialdatas. Only then, if you edit one of the dates on the second PC (addet on first PC, then sync on second PC). Sometimes also by fullday-more-day-dates.
What you can do: Make empty the second Po-Box. Then sync with First PC, then sync with second PC. After then, edit the serialdatas only on PC one. If you have Sync-Errors by more-day-dates, add or edit these only on PC one.
The point is, that you can edit these dates only on the PC where you have add them. If you edit them every time on the same PC, you'll never have problems. Insted Edit them, you can they also delete and add new. That's waht I do this moment.
I Hope, that Microsoft will make an update.....
