System Center Mobile Device Manager (MDM) 2008 Server Tools provides tools to help administrators manage deployment and cleanup tasks in an MDM system.
MDM Server Tools includes a set of tools to help administrators manage certificates in MDM, pre-enroll multiple Windows Mobile devices in MDM, remove unused managed devices from MDM, allow applications to run on managed devices, or completely uninstall an MDM system.
The following are tools included in this download:
• MDM Certificate Tool
• MDM Bulk Pre-Enrollment Tool
• MDM Cleanup Tool
• MDM Device Enrollment Cleanup Tool
• MDM Application Hash Code Tool
MDM Certificate Tool helps administrators to request certificates for MDM components. Administrators can also set Access Control Lists (ACLs) on certificates, place requested certificates in a specific folder, and invalidate Global Certification Manager (GCM) certificates.
MDM Bulk Pre-Enrollment Tool is a command line tool that enables administrators to pre-enroll in MDM groups of Windows Mobile powered devices in an organization. Bulk pre-enrollment can be simpler and more efficient than pre-enrolling a large number of devices individually. As part of pre-enrollment, the tool generates passwords that administrators can share with users so users can enroll their devices.
MDM Cleanup Tool is a command-line tool that enables administrators to completely uninstall MDM from servers. This tool is helpful when other removal options, such as the MDM un-installation wizard and Add/Remove Programs, have not fully removed MDM components and settings.
MDM Device Enrollment Cleanup Tool is a PowerShell script–based tool that helps administrators remove older or no-longer-needed managed devices from the MDM system. The tool removes entries for the devices that still exist in Active Directory and the MDM databases.
MDM Applications Hash Code Tool allows administrators to create an XML file that includes an SHA-1/MD5 hash code file. An administrator can use the file together with a Group Policy Object (GPO) to allow or prevent an application from running on managed devices.
