Hi Dan,
 
I suspect that Provision were aiming for the market not covered by Citrix. 
However if you look at how it's put together, there's no real reason it 
couldn't work with Activesync. Having said that, it'd be more than nice to know 
the software officially supports Activesync 4 before you buy it.
 
Unfortunately, according to their web site, support for Activesync and USB 
twain isn't slated until the next release of the software in early 2006, by 
which time Citrix may actually have got their act together with Activesync 4.
 
regards,

It says "Currently, USB-IT® supports all BlackBerry models as well as any 
handheld running Palm OS." on their website. Does anyone know if this will work 
with Windows Mobile 5 and ActiveSync 4.1?
 
Regards,
Dan

        Hi Svein,
         
        Have a look at USB-IT (www.provisionnetworks.com). 
         
        The big advantage of using a virtual USB hub is that potentially you 
can use any USB device.
         
        Instead Citrix decide to hook into an Activesync driver, without any 
support for Palm/Blackberry, or even checking to see if it was compatibile with 
the latest and greatest.
         
        How to create opportunities for your competitors....
         
        regards,

        I have now this case confirmed from Citrix, PS4 will NOT support USB 
sync with Microsoft Mobile 5 devices, at least not untill PS5 (Ohio) is 
released next year.

        So all you guys who uses this feature, make sure your users dont buy 
new phones/PDAs with the newest software. 
        The support document CTX821115 will be updated with this info soon.

        Emne:   Problem getting the PDA sync to connect to the phone. 

        I have installed the Active Sync 3.8 on the server, and enabled PDA 
sync in the policy. (Win 2k SP4, PS4a - Published Desktop, running on VMware 
GSX)

        The phone I have uses Microsoft Mobile 5 (QTEK 8310), and does not plug 
and play the USB driver, even with Active Sync 3.8 installed on the client. 

        Since the Citrix document states you should upgrade the client to the 
latest Active Sync version to get the latest device driver for performance 
reasons, i did install Active Sync 4 on the client. When i do this the PDA is 
recognised, and the driver is installed locally as "Windows Mobile-based 
Device".

        This is not connected trough to the PS4 server. 

        Im stuck on this one, can it be that Windows Mobile 5 needs Active Sync 
4 to connect to the phone, and the Citrix Client dont recognise the device?

        Is there any other drivers out there i rather should use for this 
device? 

        I have no trouble getting it to work locally on any desktops. 

        Mvh 
        Svein Arild
