SUMMARY
This article describes how to create multiple partnerships between a Handheld PC (H/PC) or a Palm-size PC (P/PC) and more than one desktop computer running Windows CE Services.



MORE INFORMATION
Before you establish multiple partnerships with your H/PC or P/PC, please read the following list of issues and suggestions.

When you use multiple partnerships:


 * Configure the desktop computers to use the same synchronization options.
 * ActiveSync does not remove items from your mobile device when it is configured to do so in the synchronization options.
 * You cannot have different schedules on the desktop computers with which you have a partnership.
 * You cannot enable Inbox synchronization.
 * You may get duplicate information if a remote Dial-Up Networking connection already synchronizes the desktop computers.
 * The desktop computer stores the configuration for its partnership.

To create multiple partnerships for an H/PC or P/PC, follow these steps:


 * 1) Create the initial partnership between a desktop computer and the H/PC or P/PC.

NOTE: This first automatically created partnership is, by default, a single partnership. As a result, you are not prompted for the type of partnership you want. If you delete a partnership and then create a new one on your desktop computer, and you plan to use a second desktop computer, the first partnership you should create is a single partnership. Only on the second desktop computer should you choose a multiple partnership.
 * 1) Connect the H/PC or P/PC to a different desktop computer.
 * 2) When the New Mobile Device Detected dialog box is displayed, click Synchronize.
 * 3) When the Multiple Partnership Synchronization dialog box is displayed, click Multiple.
