Post by bsrbennettFor anyone who might stumble upon this thread while trying to solve this
problem (like I did), the advice above is not useful. This error is not
caused by a certificate problem.
I tried two things that worked, although the second thing I tried should
probably be your first.
First -- if you're connecting your USB cable through a hub (and the USB
ports on the front of your computer *may be* a hub), try connecting it to the
back instead. This worked for me.
Hm... this seems to fix many USB issues... why did the USB norming group
come out with such a crappy interface spec? Going through a hub should make
NO difference, but as we know it does. You should be able to daisychain your
USB devices.. but as we know, you seldom can.
The problem is for anyone who uses a dock for a laptop and has their PDA
dock plugged in , its going to be plugged into the USB port on the DOCK, and
thus probably through the HUB that is built into the dock.
Plugging my pda dock directly into the latop by USB and not into the USB
port on the laptop dock just is not an option.
For the most part activesync seems to work, but just now it went wonky
spitting out this 86000108 error code. (When will microsoft developers be
required to ALSO include a line of text explaining the code in english as
well? That number means something to the person who generated that code #
reporting, so include a short line form him on what it means for christ sake)
Post by bsrbennettThe first thing I tried, however, also worked temporarily. First, uncheck
all the things on your sync options. The device will still sync some sort of
overhead stuff, but no application data. Then, add each application one by
one (go to options, enable an application to sync, like "tasks", then OK; it
will sync; then select another one, etc. etc.). While this worked for me
after the first time I received the error, about three or four syncs after I
got everything working, it happened again.
Well I unchecked all of the 'items' to sync. Synced.. ok, no problems
there. Then went back and turned on the items I needed syncing (Contacts,
Calendar, Tasks, Notes, Files) and did another sync. That sync wen tclean
without the error... but now my laptop's outlook calendar is polluted with
double appointments... so something is still wonky behind the scenes.
But it got it 'unstuck' from that error.
