A partnership is defined by two objects – a uniquecomputer name and a random number generated when the partnership is first created. An ActiveSync partnership between aunique client can be established to two hosts.When the mobile device is cold booted, the random number is deleted – and the partnership with the last one of the two hosts isalso deleted. The host retains the random numbers and unique names of all devices having a partnership with it. Two clientscannot have a partnership with the same host if they have the same name. (Control Panel | System | Device Name)If the cold booted mobile device tries to reestablish the partnership with the same host PC, a new random number is generatedfor the mobile device and ActiveSync will insist the unique name of the mobile device be changed. If the mobile device isassociated with a second host, changing the name will destroy that partnership as well. This can cause some confusion whenre-establishing partnerships with hosts.E-EQ-HX2RG-M [ 53 ] HX2 Reference Guide
