Planning for Mobile Device Manager
2/9/2009
The Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager (MDM) 2008 Service Pack 1 Planning Guide helps administrators design and plan an MDM 2008 SP1 deployment in an enterprise environment. It provides detailed information and recommendations to help you make accurate design decisions while planning your organization's deployment.
By implementing MDM, you can manage Windows Mobile devices similarly to how you manage desktops, laptops, and servers, including enforcing Group Policy settings, distributing software updates, and wiping data from mobile devices. MDM provides device management capabilities while addressing the challenges of wireless wide area network (WWAN) connectivity and helping ensure end-to-end security.
