Planning for Mobile Device Manager

10/3/2008

The Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager (MDM) 2008 Planning Guide helps administrators design and plan a Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager (MDM) 2008 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 powered 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 WAN connectivity and helping ensure end-to-end security.
