Well.. that's true. I am going to switch to Checkpoint Integrity! But until then (in process of purchasing) I need a solution. Temp. I have just added those users with PDAs to block my firewall gpo, and am doing their firewall settings manually...<br />

Hi Guys:<br />
<br />
OK google'd the heck out of resources I could find on this issue.<br />
<br />
All I came across are:<br />
<br />
Make sure you create Program exceptions for:<br />
wcesmgr.exe<br />
wcescomm.exe<br />
rapimgr.exe<br />
<br />
Make sure you create Port exception for:<br />
26675 TCP for 169.254.0.0/255.255.255.25<wbr />5<br />
<br />
<br />
I did this, yet people still can't sync. When I checked the firewall logs (pfirewall.log) I saw that ports:<br />
5679 UDP, 52 TCP, 52 UDP, 990 UDP were all &quot;dropping&quot; for 169.254 range. So I manually added them in the port exception list as well...<br />
<br />
STILL WONT SYNC! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR<br />
<br />
Can someone help me here? B/c of this stupid issue, I had to create a seperate inheritance blocked OU and drop my pda users there, re-linking non firewall gpos... LAME!<br />

Windows Firewall GPO blocks ActiveSync for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
