Operating Systems for Mobile Phones and Handheld Devices
Configuration Manager 2012 supports management for several mobile phones and handheld devices. The level of support and the features vary per platform and client type, but each platform supports inventory, settings management, and software deployment. The support can be divided into two levels:
◆ Depth management
◆ Light management
Devices that are supported through depth management are enrolled in Configuration Manager 2012 and receive a Configuration Manager 2012 client, or the mobile devices can be enrolled into Configuration Manager 2012 via the Windows Intune connector. To be able to support the light management of devices, you need to connect the Configuration Manager 2012 environment to a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 (SP1) or higher on-premises or online environment.
