You can use Security Configuration Manager Powertoy for Windows Mobile to provision standard security configurations to Windows Mobile powered devices.

To provision a standard security configuration onto a device

  1. Connect the mobile device that you want to provision, to your work station.

  2. Allow ActiveSync to establish a logical connection to the device. When the logical connection has been successfully established, Security Configuration Manager Powertoy for Windows Mobile displays the name of the device in the Status Bar.
