ActiveSync 4.2 Beta Preview is an early look at the latest sync software release for Windows Mobile devices.

Microsoft ActiveSync provides a great synchronization experience with Windows powered PCs and Microsoft Outlook right out of the box. ActiveSync acts as the gateway between your Windows powered PC and Windows Mobile powered device, enabling the transfer of Outlook information, Office documents, pictures, music, videos and applications from your desktop to your device. In addition to synchronizing with a desktop PC, ActiveSync can synchronize directly with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 so that you can keep your e-mail, Calendar, Notes, and Contacts updated wirelessly when you’re away from your PC.*

The ActiveSync 4.2 Beta Preview delivers new features to improve the synchronization experience for customers.

Support for ActiveSync Beta 2 Preview will not be available from Microsoft. Limited peer-to-peer support is available with opportunity to provide feedback from the following site: ActiveSync 4.2 Beta feedback.

Because this is a beta, the ActiveSync 4.2 Beta Preview should not be used on production systems in mission-critical environments.

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

Nice. Thanks Chris.

So does this add the long-awaited return of the ability to sync Access databases? If anyone has downloaded this and could post a reply I would appreciate it.

here's a concern:

When I tried to run it, it said it wanted to upgrade Activesync 4.0. I have 4.1. Anyone know if this is an issue?

WJHamel

Worked fine for me, in fact, I see NO difference between this and the prior release.

sorahl

any chance it brings back wireless sync?

Lumsdoni

I hgot the same message when I instaled 4.1 - it said "installing 4.0" but it was 4.1!

karmalized

Installed without problems, fixed none of the issues I was having, and from first glance, offers nothing that wasn't in the prior release.

Leave it to Microsoft to update their software in such a way as that no one can notice what they did, and doesn't actually fix anything. Still no wireless sync, BT sync still doesn't work.

To summarize, it is still the same, crappy activesync we have had for years.

I had issues with Syncing with my Work Computer Running 2000 w/ SP 4. I could only mannage to sync using the IrDA, after I upgraded to 4.2 I was able to sync as normal.

My home PC had no issues. I can sync with cradle and BT. I only wish they would bring back the Database Sync and wireless. Oh, well.

4.2 works for me on my V51.

Now if I could get the WiFi to work.... ...

Any chance Microsoft is working on an upgrade that will sync files(that are not in the Axim directory)
