Windows Phone 8.1 MDM protocol documentation
Windows Phone 8.1 provides an enterprise management solution to help IT administrators manage company security policies and business applications while avoiding compromise of the users’ privacy on their personal phones. A built-in management component in Windows Phone 8.1 can communicate with the device management server. There are two parts to the Windows Phone management component, the enrollment client, which enrolls and configures the phone to communicate with the enterprise management server and the phone management client, which periodically synchronizes with the management server to check for updates and apply the latest policies set by an IT administrator. Third-party MDM servers can manage Windows Phone 8.1 by using the Enterprise Device Management protocol. The built-in Windows Phone 8.1 management client is able to communicate with a third-party server proxy that supports the protocols outlined in this downloadable document to perform enterprise management tasks.
