Notes:
1 Requires free Outlook Mobile update
2 Only finds email address, no additional info
3 3rd party downloadable client available for purchase for RIM BlackBerry devices
4 Because this is an application, a remote wipe wipes all data in the application but not the entire device
5 S/MIME performance depends on how S/MIME is used[8]
6 Encryption is for the applications memory and not the entire device
7 Policy is available but is client-side only and thus does not respond to server-side policy settings
8 Phone number and email address only
9 can only create personal calendar entry, no meeting requests
10 Info is derived from other info sent from the device as opposed to sent in the protocol
11 E series devices do a full wipe while N series devices only do a wipe of the Exchange data
12 Some devices have a conversation view which is simply grouped by subject and is not the EAS based conversation view feature
13 S/MIME was not included in EAS 12.0 so it was added back at this point (it had been in EAS 2.5)
14 Information in this chart is additive. This means that information that is listed for a later version of Exchange ActiveSync does not list the features of the previous version but the product does include them. Compatibility in an earlier version indicates compatibility in the later version unless otherwise noted.
15 Follow-up flags are implemented as "stars" on the device.

This post would not be complete if we didn't mention Bing for mobile.  With Bing for Mobile you can:

  • Quickly find great local shops and restaurants, complete with ratings, reviews, hours, and directions.
  • See movie show times and call to buy your ticket.
  • Get the latest local weather forecasts.
  • Shopping? Do a product search to see if you’re getting a fair price.
  • Get interactive maps with turn-by-turn driving directions.
  • Help save time with maps that show current traffic conditions.
  • On foot? Get point-to-point walking directions.
  • Get quick, relevant answers to your questions about local listings, celebrities, and weather.
  • Create a mobile dashboard with stocks, traffic, weather, and movies.

    • Remember to ask your friends and family if they "Bing" yet :)

Is there any way to check policy-application state of each device with SCMDM?

    Answer: Yes, you can run the Resultant Set of Policy (RSOP) from within the Group Policy Managment Console.

    ]]>         SCMDM SP1 Support for Virtualization https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/mjimenez/scmdm-sp1-support-for-virtualization Wed, 27 May 2009 11:11:00 GMT https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/mjimenez/2009/05/27/scmdm-sp1-support-for-virtualization/ As you may know, with the Service Pack 1 release of SCMDM we introduced support for virtualization of our server roles.  This allows you to run the Windows Server 2003 x64 guest OS in a Hyper-V environment.  We wanted to clarify that this applies to the virtualization of the Device Management and Enrollment Server SCMDM roles, but does not apply to the Gateway Server role.

    The architecture of the Gateway server requires two network cards, one for the internet and one for the internal network, which the SCMDM VPN monitors traffic on.  We recommend that this should not be implemented on a virtual machine due to the complications that this introduces.  Therefore the supported setup is to use a physical server with 2 network interfaces for your SCMDM Gateway Servers.  For more information about the Gateway Server role and its requirements, please see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd252779.aspx.

    ]]>         System Center Mobile Device Manager support for Windows Server 2008 Certificate Authority https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/mjimenez/system-center-mobile-device-manager-support-for-windows-server-2008-certificate-authority Wed, 20 May 2009 17:39:00 GMT https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/mjimenez/2009/05/20/system-center-mobile-device-manager-support-for-windows-server-2008-certificate-authority/ We are happy to announce that we now support System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 SP1 with use with a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition Certificate Authority.  We’ll be documenting this on TechNet in the near future, but we wanted to let you all know that this is now fully tested and supported.

    For this to work on the device side, we require Windows Mobile build 6.1.4 or later.  For earlier Windows Mobile 6.1 builds, you can install update KB951840 from https://support.microsoft.com/kb/951840/.

     

    So now you can deploy SCMDM with Server 2008 issuing CA in a Server 2008 functional level domain.  For the complete list of system requirements for SCMDM please see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/dd261866.aspx.
