HOW TO: Auto Accept Exchange Policy (HTC Only?)

[elephant007]

I finally figured out how to get my phone to auto accept exchange policies (Toast) without having to press OK after reflashing my phone, below is the proceedure

1. Download the attached filed labled "Elephant007PolicyToastAccept.cab"
2. Copy the following code to notepad and change the entries that are all capitols to your information
The code below will automatically download entire message and attachements... I've also scheduled peak times when to sync and excluded syncing tasks... if you wish to sync tasks change from 0 to 1

<?xml version="1.0"?>

Now after making all your changes in NOTEPAD, copy and then go to this site http://supware.net/CabGen/, remove their code and paste yours in, I named mine Exchange.cab... save it to your computer

Now store your two cab files on your SDCard so you can use UC to call them up...

3. Copy this script and put on your SDCard, I've named mine Tweak01.mscr
MORTSCRIPT

Call ("SilentInstall", "\Storage Card\Config\Cabs\Exchange.cab")
Sub SilentInstall
  fd=argv[1]
  runwait("\Windows\wceload.exe", """" & fd & """ /noui /nodelete")
EndSub
Delete("Windows\Startup\Tweak01.mscr")

Add this to your SDCONFIG.TXT for use with UC
Here is a snippet of my SDConfig.txt code

CAB: \Storage Card\Config\Cabs\Elephant007PolicyToastAccept.cab
CPY1:\Storage Card\Config\Files\Tweak01.mscr
CPY2:\Windows\StartUp\Tweak01.mscr

Basically what this does is installs HTCApplication Service on your device which must be installed and running before your device will auto accept the policies pushed down from your Exchange Server. The phone will reboot before installing the Exchange.cab file which configures your exchange account on the phone. Since the phone reboots first, it gives HTCApplication the opportunity to start thus causing everything to work!!

It took me a while to finally figure this out, here you have it in a short thread!!



edit:
Test on HTC Touch Pro device

Nice write up, I've been toying with this for awhile as well.

excellent, let me know how it works out for you
you're able to do a dry run test without having to flash your phone
install the Elephant007PolicyToastAccept.cab, then move the MortScript File to \Windows\Startup\ and reboot your phone.
