Hi,

I've used OMA Client Provisioning as _setup.xml in cab files, as string to
DMProcessConfigXML() function.
But what is OMA DM? The Microsoft documentation gives 2 schemes for OMA DM
and OMA Client Provisioning, which are pretty much the same.. though some
things can be done with OMA DM that can not be done with OMA Client
Provisioning.

I have seen some OMA DM sample code, and it looks weird.. how is it used?
Who interprets OMA DM? How is it delivered?

OMA Client Provisioning (formerly WAP) is an older standard for servers to
manage devices. OMA DM is the newer standard used for servers to manage
devices, and this standard uses OMA client provisioning for bootstrapping
only. Any OMA DM compliant server should be able to manage any OMA DM
compliant device wirelessly. OMA is the standards body:

here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms890042.aspx.

When an OMA DM server wants to start a session with an OMA DM device, a
binary SMS is sent to the device, and then the device and server
communicates over an IP connection wirelessly.

Hi Jean Chak,

How does the OMA DM ADD command work ?
I am not able to add a node to the root dm tree.
Do you know of any possible issues ?

Also how does the OMA DM EXEC command work ?

Windows Mobile devices don't support OMA DM Add on the root node of the DM
tree. Here is a list of Configuration Service Providers that are supported
for OMA DM: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms890041.aspx

Exec works only on certain nodes, an example is
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa455916.aspx, for the
./FwUpdate/x/DownloadAndUpdate node.
