Activesync on Windows 2003 server?

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 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,
highmighty

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. 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!

Need Getting Started CD

OK, a search on this gave me everything so I have to start this thread asking for a copy of the Getting Started CD. Sorry if it's already been discussed.
I can't get my pda to sync via usb. I deselect the "Enable advanced network functionality" and it still doesn't connect. Can someone post it or does anyone know where I can download one online? I'm hoping it has the correct drivers (Vista 64).

For vista you don't need the getting started CD... only the Windows Mobile Device center installed... also after the initial connection the Windows update should download it autimatically.

That's what all the instructions seem to say. I've uninstalled the existing devices, connected, installed, disconnect, uninstalled the device, install, etc and I still cannot get my pda to connect via usb. Can't seem to figure it out.

Check if activesync (on the PDA) connection settings... It should be set to connect via USB... Also you can download the WMDC from the M$ site...

Yeap, did them both. To get USB as a cradle connection option in ActiveSync in the PDA, I have to select the "Enable advanced network functionality". However, if I do this, I cannot make a connection. I remember when I had my HTC TC, I had to deselect the "Enable advanced network functionality" in order to sync via USB. But when you do this, you don't get the option to sync via USB when cradled.

I think I'm missing the USB modem driver. I'm found the zip file but I'm still looking for installation instructions.

And I think you should reinstall your OS, because there are some serious issues on your side...

OS meaning PDA OS? I did that 3 times, twice with cooked WM6.1 and once back to WM2003. I was able to establish connection with my factory WM2003.

nah... I ment the Vista (did I mention a hard reset anywhere?)... in my school, we have several verisons (ultimate, business,...), i386, x64 alike and we didn't have any problems like the one you described...

Worth a try...
Try download and manually (instead of through Windows Update) the Windows Mobile Device Center v6.1 update for x64 versions of Vista.

Yeap, did that too. Thanks though, it's appreciated.
I wonder if it's my firewall settings. Time to explore that option. I remember the old ActiveSync sometimes required manual fixes to the firewall.

Guys - I'm going to end this thread because I guess the thread title doesn't accurately identifies my issue and I don't want to double post elsewhere.

Activesync for Vista

hie guys!
i need your help urgently!!!
I am just got another pc using vista, but i encountered a problem during installing activesync 4.5. When i wanted to run the program, it came out a warning windows saying that the program is block by due to certain reason, and it offer me solve it by downloading a program from a windows web. tried to download it and install it, but still the same problem occurs.
Anyone could help me to solve this??
Another problem, is there any solution if i use mac, and wanted to upgrade my rom from mac? thanks in advance...
Regards,
bebek_balap

for Vista you need Microsofts Mobile Device Center
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx

^^ He's right and by default (On most Vista Machines) it should be already installed. So just try to plug in your phone and it should detect and install automatically.

Thats right starmena, but with the standard software that comes with Vista, you just can access your files on the Phone and the storage card. You are not able to install apps and sync your contacts, emails, and stuff.
btw. cant help you with the mac stuff sorry

you can try this for mac

or this
http://www.markspace.com/products/windowsmobile/mac/windows-mobile-sync-software.html
but as always we don't recommend macs on a windows forum

Thanks guys for the reply.
i agreed with some of the reply, the one that is pre-installed on the vista, cant use it to upgrade rom and other. is there any solution to it?

Windows 7 RC + Touch Pro

Hi guys,
I've just installed the Windows 7 ultimate RC on my PC and am now unable to sync my Raphael. I've installed Windows Mobile Device Center, but when I plug in my phone I get a message saying 'USB Device not recognized'.
I've tried both the stock rom and the Energy 3.0 ROM.
Anyone experiencing this also? Any solutions?
Thanks!

Same problem. But I couldnt even install the WDC? Which version did you install?

Weird
I'm using Windows 7 RC 1 (build 7100) and it works flawlessly with my TP. Installed WMDC 6.1 without difficulties.

PROBLEM FIXED for me

Try deleting this via regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions

I'm using Windows 7 build 7077 and everything is going fine

Could you specify as to whether that key is located in Windows 7 or your phones OS?

Sorry.In Windows 7

uh oh. i'm thinking of wiping vista from my machine and just using rc1. should i hold off on doing this?

Happened to me not 5min ago
1. Find the device in “Device manager” and remove it
2. Re-Plug in the device
3. A windows should try to install the software (Little popup in the task bar)
4. Click on it when it fails and tell it to check windows update to find drivers

I just installed RC1 last night. TP syncing just fine.

running windows 7...wmdc installed fine...
IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS SYNCHING!!
make sure to go into your phone settings
-go to connections
-go to usb to pc
-uncheck enable advanced network functionality

k thanks for the help guys, can't wait to get rc installed!

Thanks for the replies!
I tried all suggestions posted here, but none work.
The funny thing is that even when I put my phone in USB Drive mode, it still isn't recognized.
Updating the driver through windows update still results in 'An unknown device, your drivers are up to date'.
Syncing works without problems on my WindowsXP laptop..

This really worded for me. I installed Windows 7 the first day it was available and I was never able to figure it out how to make it worked until today. Thank you "The Muffin Man"

Running windows 7 RC and first few days when plugged phone in nothing happened. Was in no rush to get sync working as dual booting with Vista and was just plugging to charge phone. Other day I got a prompt to install device centre 6.1 and never done anything to initiate this. Wonder if an auto update may have caused this?
Works perfectly for me and tried with both Energy 3.0 and Elite RC4 (WM6.1 and WM6.5 ROMS).
In Vista atm so don't have W7 build number to hand.

I had a similar issue a few weeks back on my xp rig. Turns out I just needed to re seat my micro sd card, worked instantly.

go for it.. everything works great.. love the device support! plug in ur printer and thats pritty much it

Uninstall the "Windows Mobile Device Center" in your Control Panel, and plug your phone in again

Well i'm one step closer to fixing this..
I went into my bios and disabled USB2 (switching back to USB1).
After reboot my device was recognized and synced without problems.
As soon as I enabled USB2 again the device was undetectable again, even though Legacy USB support was enabled.
All other USB devices work, both in USB2 as USB1 mode.
Needless to say I don't want to run in USB1 mode.
Since I didn't have any of these problems with WinXP I assume it's a windows 7 issue.. Anyone knows where I can report this?

Sounds like a driver support issue with your USB device (Motherboard).
I just installed WMDC and it worked without any problems.
