Loading it up in ORCA ( -gb/windows/downloads/windows-sdk/ and then run C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin...\x86\Orca-x86_en-us.msi) shows that it installs batch files that either open or close and then open WMDC, and sets up the following registry keys:
When using Microsoft's Windows Remote Desktop Connection to remote into a PC, no mobile device connected to this PC will show as Connected in WMDC. This is a limitation of how Windows Remote Desktop handles USB connections.
Microsoft Digital has been involved in mobile device management (MDM) for several years and is evolving strategies and best practices to ensure the proper balance between convenience and security as BYOD becomes the norm in organizations of all sizes.
The Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Azure teams are working together to provide solutions so that Microsoft Digital can address a range of related issues: identity and access management, mobile device and app management, and information protection. The first step is to make Microsoft Digital cloud-based and enable a mobile workforce.
Organizations must consider the extent of their BYOD environment to determine if they need to perform a full user discovery, or whether the users who are allowed to enroll their mobile devices should be added manually to Configuration Manager.
Each device platform has different requirements for loading applications. Microsoft Digital worked with the Microsoft App team to acquire the certificates that are required for the supported mobile devices.
Configuration Manager includes many ready-to-use, built-in reports for MDM, including reports for apps, hardware inventory, and settings management, so it is not necessary to create custom reports. It is also not necessary to create separate reports for desktop device and mobile device management: the same report can be used to report on both types of environment.
By creating a solution that streamlined the administration and deployment of devices and applications, Microsoft Digital was able to increase the scope of its centrally managed devices by 10 percent at initial implementation, without having to add resources or administrative overhead. Microsoft Digital expects this number to continue to increase at a rapid pace and sees potential for centrally managing more than 100,000 mobile devices.
Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 came with Remote Tools, that could be used to edit the registry of a tethered mobile device, and view the running processes. These Remote Tools utilised the ActiveSync Service, part of Windows Mobile Device Center
Windows Mobile Device Center is a simple solution for data sync and transfer between mobile and tablet devices that use Windows Mobile and your Windows 7 or better PC replacing ActiveSync which does the same job for Vista. There are both 32 and 64 bit versions with an updated setup wizard and a streamlined layout. You have a simple set of buttons to choose from to access settings file management media and programs. Syncing is done in a few clicks. This software is a must-have for anyone who wants to regularly transfer files to their device or retrieve and save precious documents and photographs.
Windows Mobile Device Center is the Windows Vista ActiveSync application. It allows users to synchronize and communicate with PDAs or smartphones in Windows Vista.Basically, with Windows Mobile Device Center can do everything that ActiveSync can do. It also allows for a number of additional functions aimed at managing media.With Windows Mobile Device Center, you can synchronize email, manage memory of your PDA directly from the desktop, transfer all kinds of files and sync your digital photos and music files.Another new feature that comes with Windows Mobile Device Center is the ability to view or play directly from the memory resources of your device. For example, you can listen to a song without having to transfer it to your PC before.Features of Windows Mobile Device CenterBackups: Create a backup of your device.

Windows device management refers to the set of processes and tools that facilitate IT admins to simplify the management of the Windows devices used in enterprises. Managing the Windows devices used in enterprises is best done by implementing a Windows MDM solution to secure, manage, and monitor these devices from a single console. Windows mobile device management (MDM) helps IT admins to enroll Windows laptops, desktops, and phones, assign these devices to users, distribute apps and content to them, and enforce security policies on them to prevent data leaks.
Mobile Device Manager Plus enables robust Windows device management to support devices running on OS versions 8, 8.1, 10 and 11. This Windows device management software can empower your administrators to monitor, manage, audit, and secure official data on your Windows mobile devices. Additionally, MDM can be used for managing Microsoft Windows 10 and Windows 11 laptops/PCs, Surface Pro tablets, as well as Surface Hubs running Windows 10 or Windows 11 Team OS.

Certain circumstances prevent deploying ArcPad to a mobile device through the Deployment Manager. These could include intermittent connectivity to the device, or errors with Windows Mobile Device Manager. Under some circumstances an error is returned, however this is not always the case.
Instructions provided describe the steps to deploy ArcPAD to the device in these situations. Procedure Windows cabinet (.CAB) files are provided with the desktop installation of ArcPad in the following locations:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\ArcPad10.0\10.2
C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\ArcPad10.0\10.2\Sqlce\WinCE5_ PocketPC
These files can be deployed to a mobile device manually through a device connection or through the ArcPad tools for ArcToolbox.
Ensure that either Windows Mobile Device Manager (Win 7, 8) or Microsoft Active Sync (Win XP) is installed on the desktop machine. In addition, ArcPad must be installed on the desktop client.Navigate to the following folders on the desktop client and copy these folders to the mobile device:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\ArcPad10.0\10.2
C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\ArcPad10.0\10.2\Sqlce\WinCE5_PocketPC
An alternative would be to use the 'Deploy to Mobile Device' geoprocessing tool if ArcMap is also installed on the client.Navigate to the .CAB files on the mobile device. The ArcPad Application.ARM.CAB is the initial ArcPad .CAB installation file and the sample data, HARN tables, and VBScript .CAB files are all present in this folder location. Click these .CAB files to initiate installation. Also ensure that the SQL compact .CAB has been installed.

I was interested in the trial version of Mobile Connect until I found out that the software has to be installed on my mobile device. How is this possible when I am unable to sync my mobile device with my PC?
Managing multiple devices in a BYOD environment can be challenging for IT administrators. They need to ensure that the devices are secure, compliant, and up to date, while providing support and service to the users. That's where mobile device management (MDM) software comes in. MDM lets IT administrators remotely control and manage all your employees' devices, including desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. It makes it possible to provision, monitor, update, secure, and wipe these devices from a central console, too.
A lost corporate mobile device represents a significant threat. It's essential to be able to locate, lock, and potentially wipe lost devices. Being able to automate that process is even better. Many of the products reviewed here provide a geofencing capability that generates alerts and takes action should a device cross a specific boundary. This works great for a company with a local workforce, where the devices should never be more than some fixed number of miles away from the home office. This feature can be tweaked for traveling employees and, in many cases, time-restricted, as well.
Easy device control is another key feature, and by that we mean being able to quickly find a device and then take action, such as locking the device or performing a secure wipe. If you get a phone call from an employee who just landed at a distant airport, and they lost their mobile device, then you must be able to take action right away. Removing devices from MDM control shouldn't be a big deal, especially when you let employees BYOD.
