My Mobiler works better for me as self installs the files.
as far as active sync remote it did work fine for me. but i prefer the My mobiler as is more versitile and doesn't require copying files from the windows mobile power tools to the phone

How to make it work!
To get Activesync Remote Display working on WM6, just drop the attached two files into the /Windows folder on the phone.
The PC program will still whine that it doesn't recognise the OS, but once you click OK, it'll come up perfectly anyway! I just make sure the two files are baked into every ROM I flash because that way I don't have to re-copy them after a hard reset.
Enjoy!

Thank you ! It really works !!!

Thank you, Thank you Very Much.....

yes soti works good for me.

Nope....this is for controlling your Windows Mobile device from your desktop PC; you get a desktop window showing the device screen and you use your PC mouse/keyboard to operate it.
(My personal preference - as someone suggested above - is MyMobiler. That does the same thing as Activesync Remote Display - and then some...you can copy/paste between mobile & desktop, take screen shots of the mobile, etc.. have a look at http://www.mymobiler.com and see what you think).
Remote Desktop - for viewing/controlling PC desktops from Windows Mobile - is available in WM 6 and above, but it's got its limitations. You have to connect using a password for one, the scrolling is horrible....some people swear by it, but it's not for me
Hope that helps,
Mark.

Download the attached file cerhost.exe.
Run this program on the host computer
Done!

Yup, I tried the Mymobiler too, it's wonderful, great job.

Control pda using window

How can i control my pda using window through activesync? For example, i wan to read my sms of my pda on my pc. Any ideas?

USE RDCH
its called remote display control host made by windows back in 2002, 2 years after the millennium, when i was still a teenager. you know back then i used to love math. i still do but its really giving me a ...
try GOOGL'N remote display control host. i useit to control the ppc from the desktop. it shows thee 240 x 320 window, and uses the mouse as the stylus to operate the device..
I could upload the file if you can't get the download for it.
i also posted it plus pics of it on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376166

Try this, pocketVNCServer. You will need vnc client to connect on your pc. The IP Address should be 169.254.2.1 that you need to connect to.

Or try NTRsupport
I always use NTRsupport for controlling my Hermes from my Windows desktop.
Check out www.ntrsupport.com
It's commercial software but essential for professional support as you can do the support from anywhere in the world as long as the PDA (WM5 and WM6) and the Windows desktop have an internet connection.

Why not try my mobiler.Its a freeware and an excellent program.Go to this site :
http://www.mymobiler.com/

Yep, MyMobiler is the one. Its excellent and free.
Simply connect as normal using ActiveSync, then run MyMobiler. Then click connect.
Hey presto - the smartphone/pda screen is shown on your PC screen and can be driven using mouse and keyboard. Screen rotate also works. Its very good, and very easy to use.

Thanky you for this hint! It's excellent.

I use Pocket Controller Pro..
it has some other control beside remote display...

TrueConnect
I've found TrueConnect to be the coolest PC control app of my mobile device - you can move your mouse from your PC desktop onto your PDA as if it were another screen... very impressive and there's SMS integration with outlook. There is a small charge, but well worth it.

Remotecontrol PC from Touch HD

Hi Guys,
im looking for a tool to Administrate my PC at home over my touch HD (over the www). Any Idea ??
Thanks
Eat

I recommend that you use the included remote destkop software or VNC. VNC is often easier to setup with firewalls and such.

Hi I use UltraVNC on my Desktop and Notebooks and have discovered VNC for Windows Mobiles from Mochasoft works pretty good.
Cheers
Alan

logmein, you'll need to use IE rather than opera on your phone and the full keyboard not the touch friendly versions. I find it works very well and its free!

Thx for the answer
logmein is very nice, but only if u have a good connection like umts.
with edge is it very slow, but it works
i test VNC next

try some of the settings in the tools menu in logmein, quality and speed settings here. I found logmein quite fast compared to VNC or remote desktop.

You should also give RDM+ a try; i've been using it for a while and it works great.

Yes I have tied the included remote desktop software. However I did not manage to set it up to my own computer because of my firewalls but I could connect to other remote desktop servers.
I use VNC now, far easier to get everything to work and lots of options available.

ok i tried:
- www.logmein.com
- Remote Desktop
- VNC
All of this services works without any problem, but the best and fastes way is VNC 4 me, i love it (thx 4 the tip)
EDIT: @ Torusy

thanks for the information. Sadly I already knew about that part and had forwarded the ports and such still it was abit to messy with my firewall. And I like to follow my rule: when you can avoid software from Microsoft do it and yes im aware that im using Windows Mobile 6.1 by Microsoft

logmein.com
i've used the above, and it works well, the only draw back being though, unless you have a good data connection, it can be flustrating waiting for the action to happen at the other end...
other than that - yes try it.... well worth ago, as its free for the basic service!

I am trying the trial version but on their website it nowhere says how to setup a connection. Yeah i get this:
* VNC IP Address: Name of the VNC Server. Either a TCP/IP address as 155.22.11.2 or a DNS name.
* Port numberort number for the session. As default VNC uses port 5900 for Windows VNC servers, and UNIX/Linux uses 5901
* MS-Logon: UltraVNC can use the user ID/Password from the Windows OS
* User: Only valid for MS-Logon
* Password: Password for the VNC Server.
* Remember user/password: VNC will write the password to a local registry. Gives limited security!
But i dont know the VNC server, the password, or how to achieve those. How do they expect me to learn this? What do i need to setup on my PC in order to achieve those informations. RDM+ explains this much better, you have to setup a PC client, a WM client you get the password, and your done. But i was wanting to try out the mochasoft one to see if its any better, but cant seem to get an easy setup. Could someone please explain what i need to fill in to get a connection to my pc?

The fastest solution is the remote desktop, which is preinstalled on the Touch HD. You need at least XP Professional or Vista Business otherwise Windows has only the client and not the server service.

xp home
I have a Windows XP Home, and the build-in remote desktop software don't work then.
I Use UltraVNC on my pc and Mocha VNC on my HD, and i works ok, but it's a bit slow.

I don't know if this would help, but this was what I did:
VNC Server IP Address:
XXX.XXX.X.XXX:5900 (my ip address : port number)
Password:
(Right click on the icon in the taskbar on the server PC, and select Admin Properties. Fill the box at "VNC Authentification" with a password.)
Fill in the password on the Touch HD at "VNC Password, optional".
Then it just worked on my PC, but I don't know if your computer/firewall requires some extra settings.
Sorry for my bad english... Hope this will help you!

Using Opera with LogMeIn works! and you can zoom in with the Slider Bar

Click on the computer you want to access and the URL https://secure.logmein.com/connect_axtest.asp comes up, logme in will hang displaying a white screen instead of asking for the user name and password, click on the address and replace axtest for mozilla so the address will be https://secure.logmein.com/connect_mozilla.asp and hit enter, in the next screen LogmeIn may ask if you want to install the plugin, just click Skip, and you are done.
Logmein uses the mozilla Java not ActiveX.
This means you can use the slider to zoom in and get a better resolved image to read those hard to see small fonts. If you play around with the LogMeIn zoom and the slider bar together you should be able to get the resolution you want

but the TP2 comes with a fully featured version of remote desktop?
I've used both and RD is definately the better performance wise, just wondering why you'd choose logmein over it?

Maybe it's my age, but one of the PCs I want to control has a 1920 x 1200 display and the text is really. really, small and difficult to read on the TP2. This option lets you zoom in. Also the font on RDP gets a bit screwed up betimes.
My version of the TP2 didn't have RDP, I got a CAB from this great forum to remedy that.

I agree with Tomo. RDP isn't always the best solution especially going cross-platform. I access several OSX, Ubuntu, and Windows interfaces using Logmein which also helps to solve the dynamic IP issues on some systems. While RDP is faster, it also leaves out a lot of control. The Opera browser workaround is ok but I still use the WM client since I get a better refresh and I can also adjust zoom properly with the WM Client.

How do you manage the zoom?

fair enough. I actually also use logmein so am not an rdp fanboy.
I actually like the way LMI handles multiple monitors etc.

Thanks!
Hey Tomo,
thanks, it works pretty fine. I searched all day long for a solution like this.
bye

Hey,
Nicely played Sir.
It seems to work well with Opera 9.7, if it's only Java maybe we can get it working on other devices as well, Symbian? or Opera mini or skyfire? hmh...
Thanks!

I did as you say above and get to the point where I enter my login info, but then it bounces me back to the blah, blah, blah message about "...A Windows Pocket PC 2003 or newer device...." and wants me to download the CAB file again.
I never see the "connect_axtest.asp". The URL I'm seeing / overwritting is https://secure.logmein.com/connect_ce_check.asp could that be my issue?
Please advise...

I can't get it to work either. I get the same https://secure.logmein.com/connect_ce_check.asp page rather than the page referenced above. I changed the link above to /connect_mozilla.asp and I got further than before. I got to the password login for the computer and I was able to select remote control. But when I selected remote control, I was taken to the same page telling me to download the CAB file.

Do I have to use 9.7 or will 9.5 work. With 9.5 i've gotten all the way to the PC login but then I only get a white screen that says simply "ip mismatch". On the PC it shows that a connection has been made though.

If I remember correctly, I used IE first (full IE not pocket) using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=198923&stc=1&d=1245870498 to switch, it allows you to toggle between IE and PIE. Then downloaded the LogMeIn CAB. This is a one time only operation. Do this and then try the Opera fix. If this solves the problem I will amend the post to include it.

I am runing WM 6.5 with Opera 9.7.
No problem loging in with Java, it is a bit slower then ActiveX on IE.
I dont have 9.5 to try as it dose not have my local Lang support.

I'm pretty much in the same situation. I'm running Opera 9.5 and I really don't want to install the 9.7 Beta.
Speaking of the Opera 9.7 Beta, how stable is it? The last update was over a month ago. Are they're any release date rumors??

Bump it up.

I think that is a problem with the PC, try connecting on a normal PC to LOGMEIN..
Anywho I am using this method for some 2-3 weeks now and it works 100% on a daily basis..
thx alot guyz!

****remote desktop mobile - tilt2 ****

I use remote desktop from my tilt2 to manage a data center.
I have several annoying issues. I would like to know if any of you have a solution for:
1) I need to ability to /admin or /console into the server.
2) ZOOM into the remote desktop session.
3) Switch to landscape and portrait while maintaining screen ratio.
A freakin Iphone can do this. It can't be that difficult to get this to work on windows mobile 6.5. Does anyone know how to modify the remote desktop client to achieve this? Or write a new remote desktop client?
Using another solution that requires an agent to be installed on the server is not an option. Also, using shadow is not an option.
Thank You!

ya go an pay for VNC

Though it isn't related to remote desktop mobile, if you can SSH in to your data center, you could always try pocket puTTY.

Like I said I don't want to install anything on my servers. I want to use the built in remote desktop solution on the windows server on port 3389.
This currently works I just can't zoom in from my tilt2, and can't connect to console session. Also no ability to save connections as "favorites". Very limited RDP client. Seems someone would have developed a custom RDP client for WINMO since RDP is the #1 method for maintaining a windows infrastructure.

Open remote desktop, make your connection, then on the server run tscon.exe 0. This will connect you to the console session.
I typically start my rdp sessions with the keyboard slid out, so that I can use it for logins and so I can put my device down while I am working and still see the session. So I have not flipped back and forth.
What would be even more useful is if I could get a bt mouse/keyboard to work with the Tilt2....still searching for that fix. RDP without a mouse is a bit of a bummer.

You could try Bluemouse. It's a program which allows HID compliant bluetooth mice and keyboards to work on your device. But use the trial before you buy it, since I'm not sure it'll work due to the Widcomm bluetooth stack used by the TP2.

bump this, Is there a way to get the slider bar to zoom in and out of a RDP connection. Also, people are saying to pay for VNC, is VNC better does it support zooming with the zoom bar or does it support zooming in general. My desktops resolution is 1920x1080. I had a app on the iphone called jaadu and it worked perfectly with ultra vnc. It supported zooming and panning.

Remote Desktop
All we need to fix the Remote Desktop problem on the Tilt2 is for someone to modify the zoom slider so that it zooms not only on web or photos but on Remote Desktop as well. Should be simple!

I use RealVNC, which is great, but I saw another VNC program that allows drag scrolling (instead of scrollbars) to view the rest of the screen. I'll look up what program that was.
In the meantime, watch this YouTube video of Remote Desktop on the HD2. It looks very nice!! But I wonder if it is a feature of Windows 7 that has that interface, or a new RD app. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFiDZ_wBAtM
edit: That other app is called MochaVNC. Really cool features!

Very nice! Exactly what I am looking for except I don;t have an HD2. I have a Tilt2. There has to be a way to make that work with the Tilt2 using scroll bars instead of the "pinch to zoom"

Right, exactly what I love about it! I have a Touch Pro 2 (same as you, but on Verizon), and although we don't have multi-touch, the scrollbars would be great.

I was looking for this exact thing. Zooming with the zoom bar would be fantastic.
Also, does anyone know if I can connect using L2TP on the default client?

Has anybody tried the HD2 version of Remote Desktop to see how it behaves?
Update:
Here is a copy of Remote Desktop Mobile from LEO ROM 1.48.405.2 (WWE). I don't know if this is the one with 'pinch to zoom' or not.
It is in OEM format copied from \SYS\.

Its not working. I looking for the same solution with a small navigation window :/ and cant find any. Someone know from where we can get the same Remote Desktop Control with small navigation window ?

I use T2 Remote Touch which you can find thread here.
I have paid for the pro version, but you can also use a free version. Hope you find this helpful.
