Don't know of a single clear link yet... ActiveSync and MDM are independent. You can run either without the other, or both.
ActiveSync allows mail synchronization and a few policies (more in E2K7 SP1 with Enterprise CALs...) MDM allows a lot of polices, OTA software deployment, central console for inventory and reporting (functionality that Good/Blackberry have, but ActiveSync doesn't), and VPN access for the mobile device. And probably some other stuff. Notably, not email synch. ________________________________ From: Bahl, Atul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 3:48 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: ActiveSync / SCMDM ? Hi, I'm wondering if someone can explain (or provide a link to) how the new Systems Center Mobile Device Manager would fit into an Exchange 2007 infrastructure where we are interested in implementing a mobile solution (and to potentially get rid of BES)...I'm a little unclear if this replaces ActiveSync, works with ActiveSync, etc. Thanks ________________________________ This message may contain confidential, proprietary, or legally privileged information.
