Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 Resource Kit - Best Practices Analyzer

rodtrent — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:15:39 GMT

System Center Mobile Device Manager (MDM) 2008 Best Practices Analyzer Tool helps you analyze a group of servers to determine if the prerequisites and best practices are met for MDM deployment.

MDM Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) Tool helps you to analyze the prerequisites for MDM setup and deployment. Because each MDM server component has different prerequisites, the tool helps you to plan and build a successful deployment environment by assessing each server's readiness for MDM before you run MDM Setup.

In addition to analyzing each server's individual readiness, BPA Tool helps you to verify the firewall configuration that MDM requires between servers running MDM Device Management Server and servers running MDM Gateway Server.

Finally, after you deploy MDM, you can run a post-deployment scan to help make sure your installation works properly and follows MDM best practices.

System Center Mobile Device Manager (MDM) 2008 Client Tools provides tools to help administrators to troubleshoot connections and monitor device synchronization for Windows Mobile powered devices as part of an MDM system.

MDM Client Tools provides tools to help administrators to troubleshoot connections and monitor device synchronization for Windows Mobile powered devices as part of an MDM system. The following are tools included in this download:

MDM Connect Now Tool enables users of Windows Mobile 6.1 managed devices to download new software updates queued since the managed device last synchronized with the MDM system. The tool initiates a session between MDM Device Management Server and a managed device. Once the tool establishes a connection, new software updates are downloaded to the managed device.

MDM VPN Diagnostics Tool helps users diagnose VPN issues between the MDM and the devices it manages. The tool allows users to see the VPN configuration and status on the managed Windows Mobile device and to diagnose any VPN-related problems. The tool also allows the managed device user to collect device logs and send them to a diagnostics team for further analysis.

Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 Resource Kit - Server Tools

rodtrent — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:13:22 GMT

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 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.
