Devices that have SMS 2003 Device Management Feature Pack installed have reduced battery life

Hmmm…

Consider the following scenario:

  • You install Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Device Management Feature Pack (DMFP) on a device that is running Microsoft Windows CE 4.0 or Windows CE 5.0.
  • You connect the device to a wireless network that is outside the corporate-managed network. For example, you connect the device to a Wi-Fi access point in an Internet cafe. Or, you connect the device by using a cellular data link.

In this scenario, you experience one of the following symptoms, or both:

  • The battery life of the device is significantly reduced.
  • The cellular data link that you use to connect the device to the network remains open. This device consumes lots of network bandwidth.

You do not experience this problem after you stop the DMFP client service on the device.
