Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method that includes accessing, by a mobile device management system, a profile for a mobile device. The method also includes negotiating, by the mobile device management system, with a certificate authority to obtain a certificate for the mobile device. The negotiating with the certificate authority includes imitating the mobile device based on the profile. The negotiating with the certificate authority also includes, based at least on the imitation, transmitting one or more certificate enrollment messages to the certificate authority. The negotiating with the certificate authority further includes, based on the one or more messages, receiving, at the mobile device management system, the certificate for the mobile device. The method further includes transmitting the certificate to a control agent hosted on the mobile device for installation.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a method is described that includes receiving mobile device usage data directly from each of a plurality of mobile devices associated with a particular enterprise, aggregating the usage data from each of the plurality of mobile devices at a central database, and generating one or more mobile device usage reports based on the aggregated usage data.

Abstract: In particular implementations, a mobile device management system allows network administrators to control the distribution and publication of applications to mobile device users in an enterprise network.

Abstract: System and method for remotely managing mobile devices. A virtual instance mobile device is maintained for each physical mobile device to be managed. Each virtual instance mobile device is executable in a computer runtime environment and includes a hardware emulation component configured to emulate the hardware components of the corresponding physical mobile device and a software emulation component corresponding to the software components of the physical mobile device, which is executable within the context of the hardware emulation component. Synchronization between the virtual instance mobile devices and their corresponding physical mobile devices is maintained, and data obtained from the physical mobile devices is stored. The physical mobile devices are remotely managed by utilizing their corresponding virtual instance mobile devices respectively.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a control client is configured to determine whether or not the most current configuration profile has been installed within a corresponding mobile device. In particular embodiments, the client is configured to store its own copy of a configuration profile and to compare its copy with the most current configuration profile generated by a device management system as well as to the configuration profile currently installed and applied by a configuration manager within the mobile device. Each configuration profile includes an embedded verification token that facilitates this process. Furthermore, the client may be configured to inform the device management system as to whether or not the current configuration profile has been installed. The device management system may govern enterprise access by the mobile device based on whether or not the current configuration profile has been installed.
