David,
thank your very much for your interesting article - configuring async via cab-file works fine!
Setting the parameter "CalenderAgeFilter" to values 0-5 seems to use the pre-configured values in the dropdown box at "calender sync options" in activesync on the device:
1 - All
2 - 2 Weeks
3 - 1 Month
4 - 3 Months
5 - 6 Months
I tried higher values, but this has no affect (seems so circle the above mentioned values)!
Du you have any idea how to set the calender sync period to more month? I would like to have the past 24 month on my device, but changing to "All" is too much data (slows down my device, because my outlook calender contains approx. 6 years...) 
A good day to all of you!
