Does anyone have any programs (or a way to setup WM6) to do a sync when wireless is connected.
I am in an environment where i am connected via wireless for half my day.
I would like to be able to sync with my exchange server over wireless when it is connected and not sync when its not connected.
I am wanting it to sync automatically every time it connects (or every X minutes while it is connected) via WLAN
I am running a Dopod 838 pro with WM6pro and syncing with exchange 2003.
Any help appreciated.
This might not be the exact answer for you... But check rk-OSR(Check my signature) for the utility to check emails using wifi.
Great App
Wow, thats a great app...
I will be using this unless anyone come up with a better solution.
Thanks for the prog tytnguy.
One suggestion for future versions,
Add a sync every X mins/hours option.
Also is there any way of having it sync without showing the window (like sync in the background)? Not that it is a problem, just would be a little tidier.
Once again, great work and thanks.
You could also use a tool like emoze (www.emoze.com). I can use it to sync my mail, contacts, appointments, etc....
Thanks for the suggestion emay but I already have Exchange server 2003 running, so all my emails and contacts are syncing correctly.
Its just getting it to do it automaticly over WLAN while its connected to save me data charges.

You may need to check your root certificates on your device and check with your admin about who you get your certificates though for the exchange server. They will have one if they have the exchange web mail log in enabled.
If you can get the certificate file to your device (tip: if it's a .crt file rename it a .cer so WM6 will read it). Then you can run it right off your device's file manager and it should install.
After that just make sure you're telling your device to sync via wifi.
Oh, and you can also configure peak times, this might save battery so your phone isn't constantly checking home wifi to sync. Also configure what to sync though the settings in your active sync menu, you should also be able to tell it only to connect wirelessly via wifi and not though your data plan.
I hope this all helps.

Hi, I've got an Xda IIs and i'm thinking about introducing acouple into my workplace, but i was wondering if it is possible to sync them with the exchange server here..
What i'd be wanting to do, is to log in either via gprs or a wi-fi hotspot, connect thru a vpn connection to our local network, and be able to change diary entries, access email, etc. on our exchange server.
Has anyone been able to do this?
How is it done?
Works beautifully for mail, diary, and contacts.
Connect your XDA to your desktop then got to activesync.
Options
Check "Enable Sync with server"
"Configure"
Setup synced data as required
then click "connection" fill out all fields.
Remember that if you are using ssl you will need to install the appropriate certificate on each XDA.
Cheers,
M.
PS Server Sync works over WLAN/BT PAN/Activesycn/and GPRS
Fantastic! Thanks!
Just wondering now, I suppose I have to run activesync on a non-NAT IP computer - ie one of our servers, yes? (for a/s via GPRS to work)
so... how does that work? forgive my newbieness... I've only ever a/s'ed via my usb cradle....
no, when you do server syncing, the exchange server 2003! speaks OMA (outlook mobile sync) an http connection to your mda/xda.
cool - thanks. One last thing - the calender that will be syncing is NOT the user's calendar, but a public calendar. can A/S sync this instead of the user's calendar?
EDIT: and we use exchange 5.5 - does outlook mobile sync work with that?
just wondering if anyone has had any luck with this.. it has been about 4 months... thought there might have been some new software that would do it...
Greetings, newbie here.. Just got my Cingular 8125 last week, and i've been trying to figure out how to used OTA Activesync over GPRS/EDGE with my laptop.. Is there any feasable way do do this?
I usually have a couple programs open on the 8125, Agile msgr, a RSS reader, weather apps, etc.. a lot of stuff that checks over GPRS/EDGE for updates etc.. but everytime i sync via USB with my laptop and Activesync, it hoses my GPRS/EDGE connection because of it having to use my laptop's network connection.
I'd like to sync with the laptop over GPRS/EDGE if possible.. if there's a app I need to purchase or whatever that's fine.. I'm running WinXPPro on the Laptop.. and WM5 on the 8125 of course..
As of 4.0, ActiveSync won't sync OTA. I think the only exception to this is if you're synching with an Exchange server. Only thing I've been able to find that will give me OTA sync is WebIS's Plaxo sync and, right now, that only syncs contacts. Check out their page for WebIS Mobile Sync
The only thing I can think of is installing kerio mail server. This acts as a mailserver and I succesfully synced my windows mobile with it. The only thing is that you need to configure your own mail server and thats not totaly what you are looking for...
Is it possible to sync files between my computer without hooking it up to the data cable?
Since I'm now online with an Exchange server I really have no other need to plug in the data cable so I was wondering how one can sync files?
If I could see the phone on my home network from XP I could run create a sync profile in my backup program but I've been told the phone can see network shares but vice-versa. Strange.
Thanks

If you sync the device once with ActiveSync, you can then use Bluetooth to sync... from your device.
Other then that, search G00gle for a PocketPC sync application

I can get into my company e mail thru my laptop using Cisco VPN (soft token) Is there an easy way (step by step) to set up my 8125 to access my company e mail ?
Is your company running on Microsoft Exchange? If so, there may be no reason to sync across a firewall. It seems to be standard in recent versions of Exchange to expose a PDA sync interface outside the firewall. Let me know if you are in this situation and I tell you how I did it.
Yes Microsoft exchange
I have my 8125 sync'ing directly with exchange. Here's how.
Install ActiveSync 4.2 and follow the instructions for sync'ing. Cisco VPN interacts badly with ActiveSync, so disable the VPN if you have trouble sync'ing. The problem shows up as things hanging while trying to connect.
Once you are connected, add an Exchange server to ActiveSync. Put in the info for your company's server. If you have more than one, use the one that has an https interface that can be accessed from outside the firewall.
ActiveSync will try to start Outlook, which may fail if you are not connected to your VPN. Just click "work offline". You will also get an "unable to connect" message on both ActiveSync and the 8125. Ignore it.
Once you have changed the settings and a sync has been completed, disconnect the phone from the computer. It should sync directly via the GPRS network to an external interface on your Exchange server. Let me know if you run into problems.
Hi everyone. New poster here and love this forum. I've switched over from 8 years of PalmOS and Treo to the Wizard and enjoying it tremendously.
My only problem so far that I haven't been able to find an answer to is with Exchange Server sync on the desktop. I have it working flawlessly over the air via GPRS with Direct Push. However, I have an extensive amount of Notes that I constantly use that I need to sync from desktop, so I connect via USB and it hangs forever trying to synchronize Exchange Server from the USB! How do I stop this and have it only syn with Windows PC? I can get everything else fine from GPRS and don't care to sync on the desktop for Exchange.
I'm using ActiveSync 4.2 on XP for a Cingular 8125 with latest updates. Exchange sync through the desktop fails after 10-15 minutes. I just need to bypass that on the desktop and only sync wirelessly for email, contacts, and calendar. I need only task and notes desktop sync. Does anyone know how to do this? My wireless sync isn't using SSL but SMS notifications which is sufficient for me. My apologies if this has already been answered, but my search was not able to uncover an answer.
