Smartphone Exchg Activesync & Desktop Sync Rob E 12-18-2005

I recently turned on Exchange activesync on my SMT 5600 and it syncs nicely.
Only one catch... it no longer syncs my calendar, inbox and contacts to my
home PC. It wants to use it as a passthrough to the Exchange server. I
don't mind not having the inbox synced, but I'd really like to keep my
calendar and especially my contacts synced with Exchange and my desktop PC.

I'm sure someone before me has run into this before... any help would be
greatly appreciated
Thanks
Rob

Exchange ActiveSync will be the only one your phone will do. Are you able to
use your Outlook via RCP/HTTPS to connect to your Exchange? This way it sync
directly with the server, while not requiring to sync through the
Smartphone.

Well, a couple things make that less attractive to me. My home PC would be
on all of the time and I'd have to map a port to connect to my PC OTA. And I
wouldn't get the AUTD function. The next thing is then, I'd have all of my
personal contacts I want on the phone also on the exchange server.

Ideally, I would have contacts on the exchange server (some with a business
category set) and have contacts on my home PC in my pst (some with a
personal category set) I want my contacts in a PST because it's my master
list of personal contacts in case I change phones or do a hard reset. That
way my phone will have all of the contacts I may need while keeping personal
and business seperate.

And for the calendar, I want to have my appts in my pst so I can use the
hotmail sync utility so that my free/busy info is available from the web.

Thanks Rob
