Active Sync 4.2 Beta Preview is now out !

[shivam]

ActiveSync 4.2 Beta Preview is an early look at the latest sync software release for Windows Mobile devices. Microsoft ActiveSync provides a great synchronization experience with Windows powered PCs and Microsoft Outlook right out of the box. ActiveSync acts as the gateway between your Windows powered PC and Windows Mobile powered device, enabling the transfer of Outlook information, Office documents, pictures, music, videos and applications from your desktop to your device.

In addition to synchronizing with a desktop PC, ActiveSync can synchronize directly with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 so that you can keep your e-mail, Calendar, Notes, and Contacts updated wirelessly when you’re away from your PC.


The ActiveSync 4.2 Beta Preview delivers new features to improve the synchronization experience for customers. Support for ActiveSync Beta 2 Preview will not be available from Microsoft. Limited peer-to-peer support is available with opportunity to provide feedback from the following site: ActiveSync 4.2 Beta feedback.

Because this is a beta, the ActiveSync 4.2 Beta Preview should not be used on production systems in mission-critical environments. ActiveSync 4.2 Beta Preview supports PC sync via USB cable, Bluetooth, or infrared connection.

MS said that wifi network sync was removed for security reasons, so I can't see them putting it back in, though I do wish they would. Palm have this aspect much better sorted in my opinion.

I have been told using a few extra steps it is possible to Sync overwifi, but it means using usb cable, then removing it , etc and having wifi on. If you guys want I can test it out and post if it works.

Test it if possible, I would like to Sync using WiFi very much.

I'm hoping it cures my will-not-sync-with-desktop-PC-even-with-Sygate-disabled issue I'm having.

*heads for the downloads*

EDIT: Nope. I've followed all the instructions here, and opened up all the IP addresses that the ActiveSync connection creates, and still the only way to connect is to terminate the Sygate Firewall Service itself.

Why did MS switch to TCP in the first place? Bloody stupid idea :evil:

Interesting, my kit now works with Win2k SP4, whereas previously the connection would keep dropping.
