If I understand what you are saying, you'll still need to set up a profile
on the new machine. Simply create a new partnership and you should be
able to sync everything just fine.

Hello!

I have set up a partnership with the same name as on the old comupter.
Then i replaced the \App Data\...\ActiveSynch\My_PPC with the directory
of the old computer. But ActiveSync doesn't work anymore.

I would reinstall activesync. I've never done the procedure you are
talking about where you actually copy the whole folder onto a new machine,
so I don't know what to expect from that. But reinstalling Activesync and
creating a new profile from scratch should fix it.

The partnership is with the computer, not with Outlook. In fact, if
you have an NT-based operating system (NT, 2K or XP), each _user_
(logon id) needs a separate partnership. I'm pretty sure you can get
around this by copying some registry keys from the "old" computer to
the "new" one.
