Here’s another webcast on System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 in case you haven’t already seen it. This one is about an hour and a half long and discusses how to successfully (and cost effectively!) implement this product in the enterprise. I have the event description and a link below:

Language(s): English.

Product(s): Windows Mobile.

Audience(s): IT Professional.

Duration: 90 Minutes

Event Overview

System Center Mobile Device Manager (SCMDM) is a complex product with a lot of dependencies which must all be in place in order for it to work correctly. This session, which takes almost 2 years of hands-on experience of deploying implementing SCMDM in the field, steps through how to successfully (and cost effectively) implement this product in the enterprise. The objective of this session is to address the misconception that SCMDM is hard to implement while showing how MDM eliminates almost all of the overhead associated with Blackberrys while retaining and elevating both manageability and security.

jchornbe — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 22:54:00 GMT

We have a fairly new System Center Mobile Device Manager webcast available in case you haven’t already seen it. This one is about an hour long and discusses how to configure MDM so that uses can access the corporate network right from their Windows Mobile phone. How cool is that? I have the event description and a link below:

Event Overview

So, you are using Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 and Windows Mobile 6.1. Now what? You probably know that Mobile Device Manager can manage, secure, and install software on your phones. But did you know Mobile Device Manager also gives your users the potential to control the PC at their desk and access everything they need on the corporate network, including file shares, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, instant messaging, and internal Web pages. In this webcast, we present the best practices for a Mobile Device Manager installation that provides users with access to everything they need in the corporate network through their phone and (just as important) denies access to resources mobile users don't need. We review the basics of Mobile Device Manager and IP security (IPsec) virtual private networks (VPNs), and we discuss the tools that users can take advantage of so they can work wherever they would like using their phone. Discover how Mobile Device Manager eliminates the need to expose your organization's Microsoft Exchange Server to the Internet.

Presenter: Anthony Spencer, Mobility Consultant, Enterprise Mobile

The Microsoft Management Summit (MMS) is the premier event of the year for IT Professionals, offering deep technical information and training on the latest IT management solutions from Microsoft.

MMS 2009 will feature more than 9,000 Hands-on Lab places during the week, most led by experts providing a guided tour of the latest technologies.

MMS 2009 will offer face-to-face access to Microsoft and industry experts through a variety of networking opportunities and in the MMS 2009 Expo, where over 60 sponsors and exhibitors will showcase their latest products and services.

Of course the session info is subject to change but if Mobile Device Manager is your thing then so far we have 2 dedicated sessions:

There will probably be some hands-on labs as well and the full list will be published soon.
