Abstract
Embodiments of a method and system for managing configurations on mobile devices are described. A method under an embodiment utilizes one or more advanced commands defined by the OMA DM protocol. One such command is the 'Get' command, which can be used recursively to traverse a management tree to access the necessary nodes. A variation of this command is the 'Get[Struct Data]' command, which traverses a tree or subtree in a single execution instance. The “Get” command is used to get a snapshot from a management tree starting from a specified URI. For this embodiment, it is presumed that a “golden” copy of device exists. The golden copy can be initially configured either manually or by using a mobile device management platform. The method uses a golden device to make a configuration snapshot to be used later for a distribution to multiple targets.
