Microsoft released ActiveSync 4.2

By Mauricio Freitas, in , posted: 6-JUL-2006 15:49

If you have a Windows Mobile device running the latest OS version (Windows Mobile 5.0) then go ahead and download the new ActiveSync 4.2 for your PC.

Microsoft ActiveSync 4.2 is the latest synchronization software for Windows Mobile-based devices.

Changes in ActiveSync 4.2 help resolve connectivity related issues with Microsoft Outlook, proxies, partnerships, and connectivity: 
 
- Microsoft Outlook Improvements: Resolves issues relating to error code 85010014
- Proxy/DTPT interaction Improvements: Improved auto configuration of device Connection Manager settings when desktop has no proxy path to the internet.
- Improved Desktop Pass Thru behavior with ISA proxy failures
- Partnership improvements: Better resolution of multiple devices with the same name syncing with the same desktop
- Connectivity Improvements: Better handling of VPN clients (resolve unbinding of protocols from our RNDIS adapter).
- New auto detection of connectivity failure with user diagnostic alerts.

ActiveSync 4.2 supports PC sync via USB cable, Bluetooth, or infrared connection. 


If you are using Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition or older, please use ActiveSync 3.8 instead.

What if you have both WM 2003 and 5 clients? 4.1.0 seems to work fine with both here.

ActiveSync 4.x works with both Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobil 5.0, but it really does not add or fix anything related to Windows Mobile 2003 - so it's a futile exercise to upgrade.

On mixed environment it's fine...
