When testing a new configuration’s security, it’s important that you have the right client software available to make connections to the secure server. Since most test labs are done in a virtual environment, you need to make sure that you have virtual clients available for testing. This usually isn’t an issue for client operating systems, since you can virtualize just about all of them. However, mobile device operating systems aren’t as easy to virtualize. However, if you need to test the security of your Windows Mobile client operating systems are their connections to Exchange Server, you can use the Windows Mobile device emulator.

Check out and download the Windows Mobile device emulator at:

Setup and configuration isn’t very easy — so here’s a link to a good article on how to get the emulator installed and configured:
