OS 5.2.19971 Build 19971.1.2.6 VPN Gimped?

[djspark]

Hello all,

Has anyone else noticed that the 19971.1.2.6 WM6.1 Pro build has VPN gimped from a prior WM5 client? I noticed that I no longer had access to do IPSEC and started to do some digging and found that the file sizes for VPN are more like the WM5 roms I have. (haven't yet found an exact md5)

Is it possible this network specific build was built to disable features of the Windows 6.1 VPN client?

Is it possible to just overwrite those windows VPN files to enable this functionality again, or is there another method to enable the new VPN client on this build? The current VPN client only allows PPTP :(:(

Thanks,

djspark

i just noticed that when i dumped it ;)

im prett sure you can just overwrite them, but i haven't tried yet...

I also found that to be QUITE odd...

good luck ;)

Ok good, it's not just me going crazy. I know that build was made for AT&T so they probably requested the gimping to save on bandwidth. However why they left PPTP in is a bit crazy.

I'm going to try overwriting them and see how it goes, do you have any build you'd recommend me using to overwrite them with?

i like 19202 build (at least that's what I think it is), it comes from the 3.29 kaiser rom that is obtainable from here:

That's actually the one I had, chose it since I was able to download the MS 6.1 emulator with that build. So I figured if MS uses it for their development emulator it's safe for me.

I ran into a problem though, I'm unable to overwrite the file or change it in anyway. I assume this means I'll have to rebuild the ROM? (sorry a bit new at the whole rom/cooking)

Ok, all of the files named like: ipsecvpn are all for the windows mobile management server to send policy to the phone to require it to communicate over a VPN connection. So replacing those did nothing to enable the connection manager's options for IPSEC. Trying now to figure out which files need to be overwrote to get the connection manager enabled with IPSEC. I am a bit worried that maybe this is just a reg key :-/

Does anyone know what file represents the connection manager in WM 6.1?
