I've been having problems synchronizing my WM5 PPC with an Exchange server
(over the air) - it started to get hung during calendar sync. But I've
discovered that if I hard re-set and sync before restoring my system,
everything works. So, there's something in my restore set that messes up
ActiveSync. I've tried blanking out the calendar database and that doesn't
help - it must be something else. I've also tried not restoring the files in
\Windows\ActiveSync on my device, and one time I did it, it worked
perfectly. The next time I restored this way, it did not. So I'm a bit
confused but I think there must be other files (or registry keys?) in my
backup saveset that are messing up ActiveSync on the device. So, does
anyone have a complete list of the files and registry keys that are relevant
to activesync on the PPC side? There must be other state files and
who-knows-what and perhaps I can avoid restoring them from my set.

Hi,
Microsoft has never disclosed the registry keys that ActiveSync uses to
store the settings. Did you try deleting the ActiveSync settings to sync
with Exchange and re-enter them?

yep... I tried that; it gets stuck half-way through Calendar unless I do
it right after a cold reboot. There's something in my restore set that
causes this :-(

Hi,
Well there is no support for performing a restore with Windows Mobile 5 or
6. I suggest you sync from scratch with the PC instead of performing a
restore.
