10. • Hardware properties for mobile devices are collected through the Device Management Authority as
well as Exchange ActiveSync (for Android)
• No software inventory for mobile devices to respect the Information Worker’s privacy on their own
device
Wipe option depends on the platform and management type (EAS or native)
• Complete wipe and reset to factory defaults – iOS and WP8
• EAS mailbox removal only - Android
• Only EAS mailbox removal if managed through EAS - Windows RT or Pro (x86)
• No wipe - Windows 7 and below (no change from wave C)

11. Distribute applications to new platforms
• Support for Windows 8 , Windows RT and Windows Phone 8
• iOS devices managed through iOS MDM and can install LOB,
Apple app store or web apps
• Android and WP7 devices are still managed by EAS, but can
install LOB, Google play or web apps

12. Download from Windows Store Side Load from Your Infrastructure

13. • Is side-loading enabled?
Make sure registry is enabled to allow trusted application installation
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsAppxAllowAllTrustedApps = 1
Right SKU, domain joined, or is it “activated”?
• Make sure code signing root certificate is installed on client
“Trusted Root Certification Authorities” store
• Manually install signed application
add-appxpackage fileserverContoso_Expense.appx [-DependencyPath <string[]>]
• Application management client side log files

14. •
AllowAllTrustedApps = 1
• To enable sideloading on a Windows 8
Enterprise device that is not domain-joined,
you must use a sideloading product
activation key

29. • The communication channel is push-based
instead of dependent on the client policy polling
interval. By using client notification, clients can
establish a persistent connection with a
management point.
• In SP1, all System Center Endpoint Protection
operations and the “Download Computer Policy”
client action are implemented by using this
channel.
• If the connection is dropped (e.g. because of a
network issue), notification agent will attempt to
reconnect.
