Re: Help with partnership restore

Hi,

You can simply create a new partnership with your mobile device. The data
available in MS Outlook will synchronize to your device.

If you wish to use the old partnership name, then you will need to delete it
first. Note that deleting of partnership doesn't delete the data in
Outlook. It merely removes the relationship set between the computer and
the device. It will only remove the synchronization and file conversion
settings associated with the partnership. It will prompt you if the
synchronization folder data has to be deleted.

You can keep the sync folder so that when the new partnership is set with
same name, it will automatically use the same data folder and files within
them get sync'd to your device.

To delete and recreate the partnership --

1. Disconnect the device from the computer.
2. In Activesync -> File -> Mobile Device.
3. Select the device whose synchronization relationship you want to end.
4. On the File menu, click Delete Mobile Device
5. Connect the new device and follow the onscreen instructions to setup a
new partnership.

If it is a WM5 device if go to start, settings, system tab and tap on about
there will be a device ID tab that will have that name. The reason it
created the name is that the activesync partnership was initiated by PC via a
get connected wizard rather than after software installed just connecting the
device and letting the device transmit the device ID from Unit. If PC
initiates the connection it will use a variation of the Windows Logon name
and push that name onto device ID field of the WM5 device.
