SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Windows Media Player to copy a Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM)-protected media file to a Microsoft Windows CE-based device that is connected through Microsoft ActiveSync, you may receive an error message.



This problem occurs because of a bug in Cedrmutil.exe. This bug prevents Windows Media Player from retrieving the Device ID from a custom embedded device.
