Notes:

  • It is recommended that you set up an authentication policy using Active Directory-based user authentication prior to using this feature. MobiControl will automatically set the user name when the Exchange settings are pushed down. You should leave the user name field below blank in this case, and MobiControl will automatically fill it in.
  • If you need to deploy a certificate to the device (because the Root Certificate Authority certificate is not already in the devices certificate store), then you should do so using a package that includes a script to install it. Please see the Script Command Set page.
