TESTING SCENARIO

Each participating vendor's software was installed on a Dell PowerEdge SC1425 server with Windows Server 2003 installed. Vendors provided a client device for each client OS supported. Client devices included handsets from Hewlett-Packard, Nokia, Palm, Research In Motion and Samsung.

To test, we ran through three use-case scenarios:

» How does an administrator configure security policies for mobile endpoints, as well as enable passwords and any other lockdown features that exist?

» How does an administrator deploy software packages to devices?
