WP8 enterprise

[based_graham]

Is it possible to connect my WP8 into my Active Directory domain? I searched all over for enterprise support cant find any documentation.

Any help will do.

Thanks

Out of curiosity, why?

No you can not. Windows Phone 8 and Windows RT can not be added as domain objects to the domain like Windows 6.x could be. ActiveSync and MDM via MS Intune and 3rd party apps are your options.

Just wondering I'm trying to make a business case to switch to Windows Phone's I want to see all my enterprise management options.

How can I deploy enterprise policies to Windows Phones through company hub? Does anybody know how to get that setup?

What is MDM? I'm pretty sure you can connect Win RT to Active Directory.

Speaking of company hubs can I add non corporate APPS to that hub? For example I want all employees to use Lync can I add the Lync app into the company hub?

Windows RT works like Windows Phone does... It gets it's security policies through ActiveSync. You can't add a WinRT device to the domain and apply group policy like you can the traditional full blown windows OS, or old school WinMo.

MDM is Mobile Device Management. Good, Airwatch, Mobile Iron, Blackberry Fusion, Intune.. etc.

Got it thanks. Got a tweet back from JB I guess I'm going to look into System Center next year cause apparently it supports WP8.
