They stand to gain more from their pairing with Windows Phone 8. Rather than pinning their hopes on a single OS, HTC are in the enviable position of being able to see which one is more likely to fly and then pin their hopes on that.

RDP is a necessary feature for <a href="www.thetechinfogroup.com/.../it-consulting-los-angeles.html">IT support</a> staff on the go. Not as glamorous as some other big name features ,like WIFI, but a working man's tool

Thanks for your question. The Mango release extends the Windows Phone manageability options through newly supported Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) policies, which include the ability to require complex (alphanumeric) passwords as well as the degree of password complexity. EAS policies are configured and administered through Exchange Server.

A white paper that was published in May provides an overview of how Microsoft IT deployed more than 50,000 Windows Phones to its employees from October 2010 to May 2011; some manageability information is also included. download.microsoft.com/.../0468_Windows_Phone_Article.docx

Hope this helps.

any more news on centrally managing Mango in an enterprise environment? we're looking at getting either a large amount of smartphones in the next few months - so far the contenders are Blackberry, iPhone and Windows Phone 7.5.

Manageability is paramount - Mango is attractive with built in Office and SharePoint but if it lacks Manageability we're going to to have to look at the other remaining options.

please could anyone give us any feedback on the above - information on this close to non existant

Also would like the option of "Leave messages on server" in my POP mail accounts like it was in WM 6.1

I just need the ability do device encryption. That feature and the fact that our cert server does not "support" WM7 is the only thing my new HTC Trophy cannot do.

I don't get the wall of silence from MS regarding RDP (built in and free) and VPN. Is Windows Phone 7 simply going to be nothing more than a consumer product with nice little games?

I'm starting to think I've made a mistake with this phone

I upgraded my dev device to build 7712, the "almost-RC" build of Mango, and ran a couple of tests:

- Device Encryption; still not supported. Anything you can share about the availability of this? (I know you can't tell us everything, but on the level "it's planned for a later version than Mango".)

- IRM; I have IRM configured, it works in OWA, and I can pull down the policies programmatically through the EAS protocol. But when I try to open it on the device it tells me that the message is protected and can't be opened on the phone. Is it something obvious I'm missing, or are there a bunch of configuration steps needed server side to make it work? (If so I await you guide of course.)

I know this isn't the RTM build, and that there might be bugs in it, but it is said to be API complete.

The Mango release will provide the ability to sync Tasks between Outlook and Windows Phone, and it’s already possible to sync contact and calendar information in the current release. For Notes we rely on OneNote and you have the ability to sync OneNote through SharePoint or Windows Live SkyDrive.

@troysch

Syncing the Drafts folder won’t be available in Mango, but as a workaround you can reconfigure Outlook on the desktop to save drafts to your Inbox. It’s an easy reconfiguration – File, Options, and then Mail. Then your drafts will sync to your Windows Phone.
