Since Activesync 4 is now released, I thought that I would have a go at testing Active sync 3.8 exchange server option. So I configured it with the name off our exchange server and fired it up. My email messages were transferred for me, but my entire calendar was deleted.

I thought that was a bit odd since Both of my desktops can see the same calendar, thus it must be stored on the server. Any way to cut a long story short. I can't get it to work at all. Can't really believe that Microsoft would disable and remove WIFI sync to the desktop, if the WIFI sync to server is inoperative.

Has anyone else tried this? Is anyone else actually syncing to an exchange server?

First time you did that there should have been an option to delete all on handheld and then sync, or keep the ones on handheld but then you'd have duplicates...I just did this too at the end of last week and it worked fine...I chose "delete from handheld"...

Yeah I did that. I also selected to delete from handheld. That explains why they were deleted, what I can't understand is why they were not recreated from the server. Perhaps it's an exchange server config setting. It's the second time that I've tried (once pre rom update) and both times it has done the same thing.
If I can get it working it would be great.

I have been doing quite a bit of work on this now. - Calendar only so far.
1. When I set the options to delete the calendar on my device, it does just that. However it does not recreate them from the Exchange server.
2. When I set the option to not delete the items on my device, then it duplicates them on the server. I have single items on my device and duplicate items on my Desktop PC.

It gets better....
So I backup my calendar on my desktop and then delete everything. Sync again and appointments still exist on my 4700. So let's delete everything.
Now I have no appointments on my ipaq and no appointments on my desktop. OK so this should be a good place to start. Sync it now and there is nothing at all. Now import the file into outlook on my desktop and ... Yes I have all my appointments back. So sync it again. And still my ipaq contains nothing.

Disable calendar sync with the server, and re-enable to desktop and my appointments get synchronised.

Considering that Activesync 4 will rely on this fow WiFi syncing, I should hope that it works a bit better than this.
