Hi guys,
I've upgraded server at work to Exchange 2003 SP2. The server is fine (Thank goodness for that). However, my patched BA (WM5) is flacky with the settings that goes with the new push and pull email technology.
If SSL is checked when setting up Exchange server configuration on my BA using Active Sync, I get an error message that Server can not be reached. But then when I switch of SSL, all my contacts and emails are synchronized over WiFi successfully.
Another problem is that Server side security configuration (i.e. Enforce password on device set within Mobile Services on Exchange System Manager) is not reflecting on my PDA. Has anyone tried out this technology and what's your experience with so far?
I think you'll find you need Microsoft's Messaging and Security Feature Pack installed on the WM5 device, the only problem is that it's not available yet :roll: We're waiting for just this also!

HA!
Now that would explain why all the security feature failed to work. Thanks for the information.
When is the update planned for released?

Also, if it works with No-SSL, then you're getting to the Default Website on your SP2, which means SSL is not set on that. It'll work on WiFi because you'll have Port80 (http) access to the server from your internal network. Will only work over GPRS if you've got Port80 forwarded to the same server, and not off to somewhere else, or blocked. Also beware that if you're hosting multiple sites (via http headers) on the same box as you're SP2 is, then http and SSL sites don't mix readily. Hope this helps. br/Bosseye.
Hey Bosseye,
That's really strange because I know for a fact that SSL Port 443) is configured to forward all to the Server. Port 80 is also set to forward to the same server but not really used.
Furthermore, I'm running the test from home so I'm not exactly on the work LAN. This creates more confusion for me because exchange is configured on IIS to use SSL and not HTTP. What do you think is happening here?
Thanks.

Utter crap. Just seen that Microsoft's Messaging and Security Feature Pack isn't available till 2006, and then only via OEM. Sounds like Blackberry connect all over again
That's BS!
WTF were Microsoft thinking?
I guess it's back to the drawing board again for all developers on Wiki.
That's BS man!
Well - I was on the Microsoft webcast last week about the MSFP on 20 Oct and the presenter clearly said "anytime now". Without it, MS is failing the primary purpose of a wireless PDA - sync with the enterprise email - and that'll sure irritate their partners who want to shift more PDAs that do stuff other than consumer retro-fit sat nav for cars!
Hey Cytrax,
Difficult to say much about your current problem cos I don't have much info on your setup, but if you're sure that Exch is on SSL, you did remember to put the right certificate on the WM5 device after you upgraded it? However, if you've also got port80 forwarded then, it should work without SSL. Any more clues?

Well, I've seen some slides for Exchange SP2 / MSFP for a talk at the Microsoft IT Forum in Barcelona, I quote from the slide:
MSFP will be rolled into Windows Mobile 5.0 AKU2
For devices shipping after AKU2, OEMs can pick up MSFP as part of normal AKU process
For 5.0 devices already in market, OEMs can use Image Update to deploy MSFP
For Windows Mobile 2003 SE devices already in market, OEMs can provide traditional ROM upgrades via ROM re-flash – complete upgrade to 5.0 required
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/business/strategy/wm5exch03.mspx
Devices and upgrades will be available sometime early next calendar year through our major device maker (OEM) and mobile operator partners. Please contact your device maker or mobile operators for more details regarding availability
I actually in a computer magazine last week that people would be able to download MSFT from Microsoft this month.
As things stand, I really don't know what to believe. However, I personally think they (Microsoft) would have no choice but to release it as a download for the public.
Well, despite what I heard then, I'm now hearing that Microsoft's route to market will be via OEMs and Mobile operators :roll: , and that the release date will be Q1/2006 - which means 31st March 2006...
The same old stupid mistakes... just like Blackberry. Every minor advancement of mobile messaging just extracts more money... thereby minimising market adoption. :evil:
I refuse to subscribe to a strategy of lining the packets of the OEMs and the Mobile operators, as I pay enough in licences to Microsoft already...
Seriously, this is total BS.
My company has been waiting to get this technology for sometime now . But only to find out we can only get our hands on through most phone operators is just straight up wack.
I'm sure Wiki would be alive to derail all their money making plans. Fingers crossed!
If nothing has changed before the 14th November, then I'm off to the Microsoft IT Forum in Barcelona for a week, so I'll go ask Jason Langridge in person. He's helped me out a couple of times in the past and is a good lad
Dude, you've got the best job. You get to this forums? I would love to work for your company. Any openings coming up soon?

I know this is a long shot, but the only thing I miss when I upgraded to GalaxyS from my TouchHD is that I am not able to sync with my MicrosoftMoney. I have tried many possibilities but there isnt anything that allows me to have a selected view of my desktop MicrosoftMoney application on my phone and edit it on the phone and sync once in a while with my desktop application back.
I know google will never release anything which makes talking easy for microsoft products - we know how outlook syncing is difficult. But anybody has any workarounds to this?
Please share if you have any ideas.
Thanks
There are a few apps that allow you to use your PC from the phone. Not sure how goof they are but it may be a workaround. (use MS Money on the PC direct from the phone).
Microsoft hasn't released versions of Money since 2007 0.o And honestly, you are the only person I have EVER heard of using it (maybe why they stopped)
Have you considered upgrading to an actively maintained product?
Naturally, most of us are excited about the launch of WP8 and the new models and am sure many of us will rush out and get them.
But, will MS make this easier for us than at present.
The Zune backup is laughable, you only backup when you get a software upgrade and you can only restore to the original phone, not a replacement (if original was faulty say) or upgrade.
I know there are a few very useful workarounds at present, but none I believe allow you to restore a backup to another device. A backup being different of course to a sync to the cloud / Zune / PC.
I am running Win8 preview and expect to upgrade to the release version next week. I believe Zune is being replaced as well.
Question:- Is MS going to make this transition easy for us with WP8, Win8 & Zune replacement or will we lose lots of valuable data??? Damn hope so!

This is one of biggest arguments FOR root and real filesystem access, like android.
Maybe you can convince the folks at titanium backup to petition Microsoft to make their product usable on wp?
I really don't understand why ms didn't think this through for consumers, let alone corporate user bases.
Hi++
Hope to see this features !
because I've lost so many important info & media in this **** OS and I have a question : why ms wanna do this now !!!! why they don't respect to consumers???? WHY ??
LET'S see what they gonna show us in next version !
Hi Folks, I hope I'm posting this in the right section withoud doubling another thread because I have found hints here and there but no actual, efficient solution to my problem.....
Excuse my english, I'm french and couldn't find any solution on french forums either so I'm knocking at your door....
I've always had Android devices but because of some technical issues my provider lended me a WM8 phone (Nokia Lumia 520) for a couple of months before I can get back a new Android phone.
I have the two phones with me for a couple of days but I'm having a hard time transfering some data from the WM8 phone back to my Android, especilly :
-call log (could cope without)
-pdf files (important)
-sms threads (critical)
I mainly focused on SMS's, thinking of different means I could expand upon later on if need be (app, backuping through desktop, outlook or Gmail synch, getting android to synch with OneDrive....) none of this worked so far.
Thanks in advance for your kind help
The only one you will get is the PDF files. You should be able to upload them all into OneDrive and then download them to your PC. From there, transfer them to your Android. The other two are stuck in the Windows cloud, just like how you can't transfer SMS threads from iPhone to Android.
if you come up with something, let the rest of us know!
It *might* be possible to import messages using Bluetooth. I know you can do it from Android to WP8. The other direction... never tried, no idea.

I hoped so from the very begining but I couldn't find any info about doing it the other way round as you mention :/
in the worst case, is there a means to backup those sms in order to check them later on, or print them maybe ?
Well, they're automatically backed up if you turn it on (Settings -> Backup) but that just goes to Microsoft's "cloud" and I don't know how easy it is to find / download / import it would be.
Fingers crossed I have this in the right spot or I'm going to scream.
So on windowsphonehub.in they have a tutorial to dev unlock and load .xap files your Windows Phone 8/8.1 without all the complicated stuff and for $99 cheaper haha.
Now I follow the instructions as exact until the part where it requires Windows Phone Power Tools. Seems like it shouldn't be a problem until I realized that with the latest version of it, I need Microsoft Visual Studio to actually install WP PT. But in the tutorial it doesn't say any extra software is needed except for WP PT 2.5.5
I did a google search yesterday and I can't find an archived version of it to actually see if this works. The site that it's hosted on by the devs of it only have the latest version and everywhere else just links me to it.
So I was wondering if anyone had any idea where I could get a copy of WP PT 2.5.5 or should I give up on this?
Hello,
you really want 10 max deployable xap/appx, or is enough 3 (max)?
