How to Establish Multiple Partnerships with a Windows CE Device

• Microsoft Windows CE for the Handheld PC
• Microsoft Windows CE for the Palm-size PC
• Microsoft Windows CE Services versions 2.0, 2.1

SUMMARY

This article describes how to create multiple partnerships between a Handheld PC (H/PC) or a Palm-size PC (P/PC) and more than one desktop computer running Windows CE Services.

MORE INFORMATION

Before you establish multiple partnerships with your H/PC or P/PC, please read the following list of issues and suggestions.

When you use multiple partnerships:

• Configure the desktop computers to use the same synchronization options.



• ActiveSync does not remove items from your mobile device when it is configured to do so in the synchronization options.



• You cannot have different schedules on the desktop computers with which you have a partnership.



• You cannot enable Inbox synchronization.



• You may get duplicate information if a remote Dial-Up Networking connection already synchronizes the desktop computers.



• The desktop computer stores the configuration for its partnership.

1. Create the initial partnership between a desktop computer and the H/PC or P/PC.
   
   NOTE: This first automatically created partnership is, by default, a single partnership. As a result, you are not prompted for the type of partnership you want. If you delete a partnership and then create a new one on your desktop computer, and you plan to use a second desktop computer, the first partnership you should create is a single partnership. Only on the second desktop computer should you choose a multiple partnership.



2. Connect the H/PC or P/PC to a different desktop computer.



3. When the New Mobile Device Detected dialog box is displayed, click Synchronize.



4. When the Multiple Partnership Synchronization dialog box is displayed, click Multiple.
