Activesync 4.5 Beta 2

[Guest pedroms1]

Just wanted to tell you about this update I've found in the Windows Mobile site, since I havent seen it anywhere on modaco.

If some one can tell if that troubleshooter is that good, it would be great, since it seems the most noticeable difrence from the others. But is it enough to go from 4.2 to 4.5?

Changes in ActiveSync 4.5 Beta 2 help improve issues related to setup, partnerships, and connectivity with the PC and Microsoft Exchange. In addition, it includes a troubleshooter utility that scans your computer and device to identify problems and offers information and corrective actions to solve them.

*

Faster file transfer speed and photo sync via Microsoft Outlook is now available for Windows Mobile 5.0 powered devices.

*

Customers using Microsoft Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2 with devices running the Messaging and Security Feature Pack for Windows Mobile 5.0 will benefit from the following feature enhancements included in ActiveSync 4.5: Direct Push Technology, local device wipe, and certificate powered authentication to Microsoft Exchange.

*

Microsoft Outlook 2000 is not supported by ActiveSync 4.5 Beta 2. If a customer wishes to take full advantage of ActiveSync 4.5 Beta 2, then it is recommended that users upgrade to Microsoft Outlook 2003 messaging and collaboration client.

*

Conversion of database files for use on a mobile device is not supported by ActiveSync 4.5 Beta 2. On previous versions, this feature was limited to devices running Windows Mobile software for Pocket PC 2003 and earlier.

*

Conversion of font files for use on a mobile device is not supported by ActiveSync 4.5 Beta 2. On previous versions, this feature was limited to devices running Windows Mobile software for Pocket PC 2003 and earlier.

I've been using this version for a couple of days now, there doesn't seem to be any great shakes over recent previous versions.

I never really had much trouble with any version of ActiveSync previously so I can't vouch for the additon of troubleshooting and I'm not sure what the device certificates & activate information rights management menu options are for as they are greyed out for me.

One thing I have experienced a few times however, if I close applications through the "Runnng programs" tab on my Wizard, the ActiveSync connection will sometimes immediately drop & only be re-established when I unplug/plug the deive back in.

YMMV
