    The device object in AD is a regular computer object, only difference being that "Windows Mobile Device" is reported as OS name, the user of the device is listed under "Managed by". I find no "special" attributes by checking the object with ADSIEdit.

    Properties like IMEI, ID, etc are collected and stored in the SCMDM databases and not AD itself.

    SCMDM does a few modifications to your AD when installing. Gory details here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd252819.aspx

    When devices enroll a computer object is created in AD just like any other computer :)

    Thanks for your reply,

    I would like to know, wich attributes from the computer object are used by SCMDM. A mobile device has several IDs like DeviceID, IMEI,...

    Can someone give me a matching table for that or send me a printscreen of an SCMDM created device in AD?

    Thanx
