Indeed endless possibilities. :-)
One (minor) comment though: what is missing is some proper version management of the Windows Phone 8.1 MDM protocol documentation. Just a timestamp on the cover page is imho not sufficient. Over time as this doc further evolves this will become confusing.
Fully agree – there is no reference in the document nor MSDN. Left a feedback item by the default feedback function ;-)
Hi,
this is very interesting, I just read your guest blog Pieter Wiglevens TechNet blog and it works perfectly. According to this documentention it should be possible to add an ActiveSync account to a phone using OMA URI, right?. This would be really usefull because Intune cloud only can only create mail profiles that connect you own Mailbox, not a shared Mailbox/Group account.
