connecting ipads to a windows domain

Question

Do iPads (version 1, 2, and/or 3) have the ability to connect to a windows server 2008 or 2008 R2 domain?

If not, is there a way to enforce security settings from a central location, rather than configuring each one individually?

Solution 1

There are management tools built into OS X server as well as third party tools from companies like JAMF and Absolute. There is no windows-native solution for what you want to do.

Solution 2

Afaik you cannot join those devices to a Windows AD.

You can, however, manage them centrally with some management tools like MobileIron which I heard lots of good things about.

Solution 3

Novell zenworks has mobile managment software, but that costs money and i'm not sure how much managment it gives with ipad. quick google search found this
