Upgrading Replication Devices

Upgrade a replication-based synchronization (RBS) device to a messaging-based synchronization (MBS) device. This option is available only to Windows Mobile devices, which support both RBS and MBS applications.

  1. In the left navigation pane, select Device Users.
  2. In the right administration pane, click the Devices tab and select RBS. View the replication-based synchronization devices.
  3. Select the box adjacent to the device you want to manage and click Upgrade.
  4. In the Register Device dialog, select the name of the template for MBS device registration. If you have not created any templates, only Default appears in the list.
    The template you choose supplies initial values in the subsequent device activation fields.
  5. (Optional) Change the default activation field values for the template you have chosen. If you use the default template, you must provide the server name, which is empty by default.
  6. Click OK.
