WMDC on Windows 8 PC and Office 15 Preview - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have installed Windows 8 (x64) + Office 15 Preview (x86) and when I connected my Windows Mobile 6.5 (Topaz) on PC it installed WMDC 6.1 (6.1.6965) and my phone got detected and started Sync with the Outlook profile. But IT FAILED during Sync.
Error:
Exchange ActiveSync encountered an error. If this condition persists, please contact your System administrator.
Not sure if this is going to work. If any one has got this working please let me know the workaround.
Note: The outlook was without any email configured. It was only for Address book and calender.
Thanks.

Thanks orb3000, But this was for Windows 8 Desktop OS for PC, not for Win Phone 8. So I hope this is the right forum?
Thanks.

I actually believe that this is the wrong forum.
Most likely WMDC can't work correctly with the new version of Outlook - at least that would be my guess. You could try it with a version of Outlook you used prior to Windows 8. As Microsoft sees Windows Mobile as 2 years dead I'm pretty sure they won't put much work into Office compatibility with it.

Agree with the forum .
Yes and also thinking it is the Outlook 15 that cant work properly with the OLD Sync Framework that WMDC uses. May be when we will have the RTM it may work, but not sure .
Thanks.

no more MAPI
It seems there will be no more MAPI in office 15 (replaced by RPC over HTTPS like in Outlook Anywhere)
And I think WMDC is using MAPI for sync so that's finished.
you will need to use Office 2010 if you want to sync WM phone

WMDC 6.1 not working with Windows 8 and Office 2010

Hi guys,
Just upgraded to Windows 8, it installed WMDC 6.1 as part of the process. Now my sync with my HTC Touch Pro 2 (WM 6.1) isn't working, despite the fact that I am using MS Office 2010. MS Partner Support (I am a member of the MS Partner Network) is still investigating.
Anyone has any suggestions/clues?
If this isn't fixed soon, I may have to switch to iPhone, as Windows Phone 8 is still months away.
Cheers!

Having the identical problem with my Samsung ACE I-325. No clue why.
Anyone??????

Windows 8, Office Outlook 2010, Windows Mobile Device Center WMDC, Windows Mobile 6.x
Same sync problem on Windows 8 RTM (x86) and Office Outlook 2010 Pro about Windows Mobile Device Center.
I have tryed with many Windows Mobile 6 phones, but the problem seems always the same.
I can just sync Notes, but not Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, etc.
It seems like WMDC CAN'T access (write/read) to Outlook.pst file.

Vista WMDC6 (6.1 too) sync issue

I am running HTC TyTN II, Windows Vista Business and WMDC 6 (and alternatively 6.1). I cannot complete sync with Outlook 2007. Always get locked on at Calendar sync. Anyone with same problem, or solution. I have tried numerous suggestions and posts relating to synch issues; none worked. tks,
Same problem, on both Vista Home Premium and Active Sync 4.5 on Win XP SP2 ("Attention Required" error). I think there are some other threads relating to this. It's really annoying!
i thought if you had vista you couldnt use activesync. you need windows media center or something like that
in my case I am using WMDC6. and also used WMDC6.1
Problem is the same in both cases.

Read it again ' on both Vista Home Premium and Active Sync 4.5 on Win XP SP2 '
I had the same issue too on XP . Installed Outlook 2003 all is well
is this an HTC issue only?
My guess a Microsoft Outlook 2007 issue
I'm syncing Calendar, Contacts and Tasks between Outlook 2007 and my Tilt using LapLink PDASync. PDASync lets me sync my 'personal folders'. By default, WMDC only lets you sync your exchange folders, which I don't want to do.
I am using Vista Ultimate & Outlook 2007. I sync my Tilt (stock Rom) via Windows Sync Center (part of Windows Mobile Device Center) and have no problems of any kind.
Ive been getting sync errors for about 2 weeks now using outlook 2007 and WMDC 6.1 It used to be fine then suddenly stopped working, yet my qtek 9000 and my MDA Vario both sync fine, both have wm6 roms. so it must be a kaiser bug
I have Vista Business and Outlook 2007. The only time my sync fails is when I have Outlook open. If it is closed, there is no problem.
I was having problems with WMDC 6.1 after upgrading it from WMDC 6.0.
I've been having more luck after removing it and re-installing though. I think I remember some sites saying that there is an option to doing with enabling scripts for personal folders, which could be blocking the connection between activesync/WMDC.
I'm on Vista, WMDC 6.1 and Outlook 2007 (not the full office suite).

HTC TyTN II with Lotus Notes/EasySync Pro

Hello,
has anybody already succeeded to sync his Kaiser with Lotus Notes? If so, how (I think I have successfully run the application unlock and switched the device to a One-Tier Security), but EasySync keeps claiming that the device is not connected or ActiveSync is not running ... neither is correct. Thanks.
I'm using Nokia Intellisync handheld addition v6 to sync with Lotus Notes.
The only problem I have is that I sometimes have to soft reset the kaiser so it can re-connect.
Dave, thanks for the hint ... I may have to resort to that if I can't get Lotus Easysync to work. Did you have to do any type of Application Unlocking ... or id Intellisync just work? J
I use EasySync Pro V4.24 and have not had any problem with it sync'ing with my Tilt. Didn't have to do anything other than load the app on the phone. worked right out of the box.
Hmm, no, that doesn't solve it. Just installed Lotus Easysync Pro 4.2.4 and the error is the same ... 'Unable to connect to device. Verify that ActiveSync is running'.
This is how I did it:
1. Install MS Outlook 2003 (maybe 2002 will work)
2. Install Lotus Notes connector (free download from MS).
3. Connect them up and sync the 2 apps.
4. Run Outlook and sync the PPC with Outlook not Lotus.
You can always just keep Outlook running in the background all the time if you are one of those unfortunate people who doesn't think Lotus Notes is marginally worse then gouging out your eyeballs with rusty nails
Cheers,
Joe
[EDIT]You will need to upgrade to the latest version of EasySync which in compatible with WM6 - I think this is 4.2.5 or 4.2.6.
If you don't want to pay IBM approx. 50ukp for the privilege or can't get your employer to buy the license, try Googling "PDASync" which comes in a 'free' evaluation version or I paid about 30ukp for the full version.
This works fine for me!
I've been syncing Lotus Notes 8 with my kaiser using Easysync Pro 4.2.5. No issues so far.

It works straight out of the packet, and it's very easy to set up.
Ok, I downloaded a Trial version of PDASync 4.1 ... and it works right out of the box. I would still be interested to figure out why Lotus Easysync 4.2.5 is not working. Would be greatful for any additional clues. J
Just curious- have you disabled your software firewall? Had many PDA's hang on that.
I use Mnotes from commontime it works well
I just use a program called Mnotes -> http://www.commontime.com
Easysynch Pro does not work here either - something to do with mishandled Notes permissions I believe - Noyes 8 client here.
But I've cracked it here with XTND Connect - very well behaved both with my old Treo and new HTC Ty TN 11

did you enter the notes id file password in the easysync settings?
Thanks - but yes
Possibly not helped by my Notes install being a bit odd - multiple address books for example
try the visto solution...
go to preview.wirelessinbox.com
1) sign up an account
2) download the desktop assistant
3) you can sync your kaiser with lotus email, contacts and calendar over the air (aka push email with PIM functions)
i am using exchange plus a couple of other internet email accounts with this.
hotmail, gmail and yahoo mail is supported directly on the visto application on the kaiser.
Only ONE Thing is important
If you install Lotus Easysync and it installs itselves to the PDA, you're prompte if you want to install it into the Memory or onto the Card.
NEVER INSTALL IT ON THE CARD.
Otherwise you have to hard reset your PDA and re-install everything. I tried every other hack and fix and application and more and this is how it worked. Just installed it after a hard reset of the PDA and installing everything else, into the memory and it run.
No Prob using MS AS 4.5 + IBM ES PRO
Hello All,
Greetings from sunny Greece.
Downloaded Microsoft ActiveSync from MS website, installed IBM EasySync Pro v4.2.6 (on TyTn II --> device, NOT SD).
Works like a charm with Lotus Notes 7.0 (did not try 8.0 though).
Just had to provide my Lotus Notes Password.
Unable to connect to device. Verify ActiveSync is running.

But it still doesn't help. Can someone help me, I'm getting desperate.

Activesync with Lotus Notes

I'm wondering how to active sync with lotus notes?
I'm intressted in getting my calendar into my diamond, and have the contacts on the computer incase of an accident.
Any good way of making this work?
Activesync won't even sync with windows mail, only with outlook. Even under Linux it was not possible to sync anything.
I know this is not a professional answer - but I think it's a no go...

Upgrade your Lotus Notes server to version 8.0.1 and then utilise Lotus Traveler (which is included with 8.0.1) to sync mail/calendar/contacts, etc, with your phone after installing the Windows mobile Traveler Client...
Not sure what server we have at work, I'm home right now. Will check it out monday. Thanks for the tip captainsensible.
I used mNotes by Commontime for years - it's pretty good software and has been around for ages.
Will it work with lotus notes v 6.5 ?
This is the version we have at work so I guess the traveler client is out of question.

Yes it works with all versions of Notes, they have a free trial too so you can try it out.

sorry, but this is incorrect!
I regularly sync my XDA Diamond with Kontact - the KDE PIM
distribution is OpenSuse 10.3, you need "opensync" and "synce"
the installation is quite a pain and it took me some time to get it right, but it works!
the good thing about opensync is that it is a universal sync tool, once you connect, you should be able to sync with any application a plugin exists for (be it evolution, mozilla, palm, other mobile phones, syncml, ...)

hi if you want remote sync (OTA) you should use Notes Traveler, if you want local sync - you can choose Easysync pro from IBM. http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/products/easysyncpro/

Outlook syncing calendar

For the last few months I have been unable to send text, but I could recieve texts. This seems to have resolved itself after I synced with Windows 7/Office 2010 beta on second machine. After I sync now with Outlook 2007 on my main XP machine texting is still working.
Not sure that was what cured the problem. Because at about the same time I created a new contact on the phone and noticed texting had become available. Whichever changed things I can now text any of my contacts.
But an ongoing problem is syncing the calendar. If I create an appointment on the device it syncs to outlook 2007. However if I create the appointment on the pc it does not sync to the phone. It has worked previously
Any advice would be sincerely welcomed
Using AT&T Tilt with 02 Xda Stellar rom Win Mobile 6.1
try deliting the partnership in activesync on your phone and both pc's and do a new "first time" sync, maybe that will help
Same?
i have the same problem! but with my father's phone (HTC Blackstone (HD)) as well as mine (HTC TYTN II). deleting the partnership does nothing! i found i have to link up my phone via the activesync cable , but this is a problem when im in a rush or something and i have to turn on the computer...
we both have wm 6.1 running on our devices maybe thats it?

[Q] Is my phone causing the sync issues I'm having?

I don't know if this is the correct section to post this question.
I have an HTC Vogue.
When I would sync it to my Windows XP computer using MS ActiveSync 4.5, my Calendar information would get messed up during the sync. It would change the days in my Calendar on my computer in MS Outlook 2007. It would also mess up the recurrence of that particular event.
When I would sync it my Windows 7 computer using the Windows Mobile Device Center, the same exact problem would occur as it did in Windows XP.
My conclusion has come down to something being wrong with my phone. I assume this because the same exact problem happens on 2 different computers on 2 different Operating Systems.
Please help. If more information is needed, please let me know.
