I sync my XV6700 PocketPC (WM5) with an Exchange server. When I set a custom
ring and a voice tag for voice dialing for a given contact on my device,
does this info make it back to the server (does it live only locally on the
device or does it live on the Exchange)? If I restore the database anew or
sync to a different device, or even just make a change to a given contact on
the server, will these settings be valid still, or are the only local to the
device and go away when downloaded from Exchange?

That information is only stored on the device, it's not synced back to the
server. So if you hard reset your device you will need to setup those items
again.

Yup, which is why I don't do that anymore. Too much of a hassle.

so exactly which events prompt this to be wiped from a Contact? Suppose I
change just the phone number of a Contact on the Exchange server; this
doesn't appear to mess up the voice tags/custom rings. What exactly has to
happen to a Contact for this info to be lost - does it have to be deleted or
can some other kind of update also wipe it?
