We have found that the when inserting the EBS certificates into a outlook html email, even though it will be blocked on the outlook client, the mobile phone will see them.
This therefore allows for a detailed instructional email to be sent to the users and for them to seamlessly upgrade the phones without having to get the certificates manually imported to their device.
The Five Towns Area in L.I had a power failure this past Wednesday .
Our client in the TAP program has a robust battery power backup system in place, we were notified via email as soon as they lost power, and we managed to shutdown all non crucial servers to save the runtime.
In EBS you can setup failover DHCP which we had implemented, we shutdown management and 1 TS server, and all servers that do not run LOB, We feel that the granular control we have over the domain will show its benefits many times over during the life cycle of this release.
A nice tip, to ensure added security if a laptop is lost/stolen on non BitLocker enabled laptop
