Can wireless sync start before you Login to XP on?

[bryhank]

My office PC has wireless sync installed, but they often update this pc through the network and automatically restart it, problem is wireless sync doesn't start until I login which doesn't happen until the next morning after they've updated. Have any of you guys found a way to activate wireless sync prior to logging into windows xp prof? Perhaps modifying the boot.ini or registry?

Please please help!

thanks,

I don't think you'll have much luck with this. Until you login, sync won't know which profile it needs to use. Theroretically, there could be more than one user on a machine, which means multiple Outlook profiles, multiple favourites and that doesn't even get into the 3rd party tools that one could add on. To run a sync before a login means the sync tool would need to know all these things and need access to them. I don't expect that's possible.

but when i had a client installed for tmobile it worked fine before logging in. this verizon client just doesn't seem to fire at the same time as the tmobile one. who knows?

The T-Mo client sounds like it was setup as a service. That would be the best way to do it. Sounds like Verizon doesn't know what they're doing, or for some reason felt that this was a better solution. :?

Lets back up the sync bus here for a minute. What are you syncing? and what are you syncing to? Little more detail please. Verizon/T-Mobile have little to do with ActiveSync or ServerSync and your PPC.

So far it sounds like you are syncing remotely to your desktop, (implied by it not being logged in causing a problem). That implies you are not using WM5. You are on AS 3.something. Right so far?

To do that AS at least must be running, and that doesn't happen until and individual logs in. AS startup is in the individual user profile. It's irrelevent what carrier supports the phone. So if you had something going with T-Mobile prior to login, I would guess we aren't talking about AS sync, or we aren't talking about syncing with the desktop.

I got the impression that bryhank is talking about the carrier branded email sync tool. I don't know what T-Mo or Cingular offer. But that's what I got out of it.

[bryhank]

Right, this is the wireless sync that Verizon provides. It's a client that sits on my desktop at work and uses my work exchange server to grab the email then sends it to Verizon mail which in turn sends the email to my Moto Q. I actually input the exchange server address as well as my username and password, so essentially I don't need to be logged in for me to get email. If I can somehow get the program to execute prior to logging in would do the trick.

I know you are in the GWN, but I'm not and haven't a clue what that would be. I know T-Mo has some stuff that will gather e-mails and forward them to your phone, but that has nothing to do with your desktop. Haven't heard of anything T-Mo or Verizon has that does anything with the desktop and Outlook and WM PPC/SP beyond what is normally provided. That's why I'm asking.

It's just called Wireless Sync "Pc Monitor", "powered by intellisync", but this was downloaded from Verizon.

What carrier branded sync tool?

The desktop re-directors that you install on your desktop and it will redirect any incoming mail to your device. Very popular with the small business/home blackberry users. Most carriers also have 3rd party stuff that do this for other devices like WinMo. Although, they don't claim to be push-always on style. Bryhank mentioned Intellisync in his reply. There are a couple more out there. I just don't know them off the top of my head.

Now, I don't know what carriers have them in the US. But I thought most had one type or the other.

Hadn't seen, or noticed, ones that ran on the desktop. Have seen the ones you set up on the Carrier WEB site and it checks e-mail accounts you set up there and forwards to the phone number. At least it forwards some text, but that is over SMS. I would expect that is all a desktop solution could do. Not what I would call a sync solution.
