In Windows Vista, Windows Mobile Device Center is the new way to create partnerships with mobile devices and synchronize items such as contacts, calendar appointments and email with Outlook.
My first attempts to use Windows Mobile Device Center resulted in a lot of problems. Neither my T-Mobile MDA (aka Cingular 8125, aka HTC Wizard) or my Cingular 3125 (aka HTC StarTrek) would synchronize with Outlook 2003. Instead the synchronization would fail with with an unhelpful error of “The Server Is Busy”.
Some Googling showed me other people with Vista having similar problems, but no solutions, so I thought I’d post the steps that got things working for me.
