Vista: WMDC 6.1 - HTC Excalibur

A new version of WMDC, that includes file sync for Smartphones (non-touchscreen, like our Dashes is out: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
Not sure what all the fixes are, but I do know after the 1st connection, my IE Favorites finally sync, something until this version I haven't been able to get working.

Thanks for the headsup

Terminal Service Client found on your PDA.
Need to be running 2000 or XP Pro on your desktop. Firewall needs to be open, (if the office allows you to use it they have a *MINOR* security Issue to say the least).
if your office is totally unsecured, there's also vncviewer for the pocketpc out there. i use that for my home computer which only has a router for protection

The best remote soft - VNC client for PPC
I attache this klient - it's only 72k
It's good enought - U must use only IP remote machine and have VNC server (or service ) installed on PC.

Problem with wm6 and Remote Desktop

When I startup the remote desktop application and try to connect to a server, I get an error message if I haven't already connected to the internet with another application. I've tried installing the wm6 terminal services client from several different downloads, but I haven't found one that will cause my 8525 to connect to the internet when you run it. The error message that shows up is this:
Connection status
Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:
1. Specified computer name or ip does not exist
2. A network error occurred while establishing the connection.
If I startup IE and browse to a website, it will work fine. Anyone know what I need to do to make the wm6 TS client initiate the internet connection?

It uses the "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:" setting in Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks. You can set it to the preferred internet connection, and that should make it trigger on attempting to connect with remote desktop.

I changed the private network settings to media net, but it still won't trigger a connection. I also tried setting it to isp, but that didn't work either. Any other suggestions? I can't be the only one with this problem.
I'm having the same issue.
From what I've read, this is about as good as it gets in wm6 unless microsoft decidss to release the terminal services client as a stand alone install for wm6. They changed the licensing in wm6. In wm5, the rdp client was a required piece. In wm6, it's an optional licensed addon. That means that unless our wireless phone provider is willing to pay to license the rdp client for our devices, it isn't officially available for them and definitely not supported. Unfortunately, the new AT&T didn't bother to mention that they opted out of the rdp client for wm6 on the 8525 in their upgrade notes. It's a shame really. I won't be buying another windows mobile powered device until it comes with the rdp client again or microsoft decides to stop being stupid and just release a free download for it like they do for all their other platforms. For now, I just hope that logmein continues to remane free and available. Technically, it's a far better solution for our devices than rdp anyway.

wtf...well anyways the client is around on the forums, so why worry about MS, and it has nothing to do with that, set your data connection to always on, and you wont have to initiate the connection with IE, Resco FTP, and the old aim client are the same way..
Built most of my site from behind the wm6 client, seems to work fine here.
RDP does not work with VPN
I have an 8525 with WM6.0. I am able to connect to the VPN through GPRS. However I am unable to use RDP. I have installed Remote Desktop Mobile but it will not connect to my terminal server running window server 2k. Does any one have any ideas?

SmartPhone Network Access?

I purchased my Excaliber/Dash SmartPhone thinking the only major difference from PPC was touchscreen support and Office applications but now I'm having difficulty finding information on how to access network resources from a SmartPhone. My next phone will be a Windows Mobile Professional device.
The environment is a Windows 2003 Small Business Server Professional network. I can access the web server but cannot figure out how to browse the network or join the domain. I had to disable certificate checking in the Dash registry to connect via WIFI through the Radius Server. ActiveSync 4.5 works just fine with Exchange and Outlook.
I'm thinking maybe some third party software might help but I have no idea where to begin. Can someone point me in the right direction?
No RDP or network share support in non-touchscreen (standard) mobiles. Closest you can get is some kind of FTP app.
Why would you want to join your phone to a domain? I mean I know the option is there in professional devices, but what does it actually do for you?
Thanks for the information. Microsoft Active Sync allows you to browse the device from a computer (limited) so it doesn't appear that it would be that difficult to have the device at least browse the computer and possibly browse the network.
I dislike devices that have limited functionality built into them. For example. My Samsung T409 has WIFI and Bluetooth and GPRS/EDGE but the WIFI can only be used for T-Mobile [email protected] and Bluetooth can only connect to headsets. I understand that there are many reasons for this from economical to technical.
Similarly, restricting networking capabilities in mobile devices just doesn't make much sense to me but I suppose the typical Smartphone user would not care. I mean that's supposed to be the nature of mobile devices - seamless connectivity. When my T409 switches from a WIFI hotspot to a cell tower it's seamless. I don't even know that has occured until I look at the display.
And as for joining domains, that is like so many other things techheads do like overclocking, running multiple monitors, using KVMs and multiple computers, running Exchange and Internet Security and Acceleration Server and Windows Server Update Services and other stuff. Most people wont need to do this but it's a must for a Techy. Using domains for security and group policy is just a great way to manage computers and devices. And also the option is in my version of the WM6.1 cooked ROM.
In my never ending quest I found a decent application called MyMobiler which will allow you to view your Smartphone on a PC and to some extent control it. http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/download-my-mobiler-v1-0.html

[Q] USB communication API ?

hello forum,
i wonder if there is WP7 APIs that are able to communicate with the host via the USB connection. i wish to write an WP7 app that can exchange data in realtime with an app running in the host PC.
thanks !
- lt
you can use network connection over usb to communicate between your pc and your wp7
just run WPConnect (i dont remember now if it is also possible with Zune)
the IP of your PC will be 192.168.55.100
and the IP of your WP7 will be 192.168.55.101
but you can only call a service from your WP7 (atm its not possible to run WP7 as a server)
so just create a service on your PC and use it from your WP7
mango is going to allow socket programming.. so this would be the better solution

Is it possible to spoof Device Update (Windows Update for Mobile)?

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to edit traffic between devices and Windows Update server? (Man-in-the-middle attack)
We used this trick before to spoof the traffic between the Windows Insider app and the Windows Insider server. It was possible to do so using Fiddler for a short period of time before the app was edited to check if the SSL certificate used by the connection was a Microsoft one (certificate whitelist).
The traffic is just a SOAP exchange. Everything is detailled here:
https://winprotocoldoc.blob.core.windows.net/productionwindowsarchives/MS-WUSP/[MS-WUSP].pdf
I am wondering if something like this would be possible:
https://www.contextis.com//media/documents/CTX_WSUSpect_White_Paper.pdf
(I know it relates to WSUS but the Windows Update protocol is the same.)
To delete.
