Allowing Windows 7 devices to sync
Windows 7 devices cannot register with Ivanti EPMM, because Windows 7 does not have device management features. However, these devices sync using Exchange ActiveSync and are managed using ActiveSync policies.
Before you begin
If your Sentry uses a self-signed certificate, from a browser download the Sentry self-signed certificate and its signing certificate, the CA certificate. The specific steps differ slightly for each browser type. For information on how to download the Sentry self-signed certificate, see Downloading the Sentry self-signed certificate.
