I have one user with a personal RT in a BYOD scenario that cant connect in tthrough activesync and it appears this is a very common problem. Hope to see a fix from MS soon on this. Activesync policy is set to allownonprovisionable devices with minimal other restrictions and has worked for 100s of device types over the years. just not RT..yet

We have looked briefly at the RT devices for our on-call team but ruled them out straight away. We use a Sonicwall remote access device and after speaking with them we have found out that Microsoft have not written any APIs for companies like Sonicwall to create remote access software, so no chance of SSL / IPSEC VPN. This is the response from Sonicwall: “Unfortunately, the Microsoft Windows 8 RT Operating System doesn’t include SSL or IPSec VPN APIs to allow vendors such as Dell SonicWALL to support adding VPN clients to their devices. This is a current limitation with this OS. I know Dell now have “full blown” Windows 8 tablets available now, which might be a better option.” Also the only way to install software is from the application site, so no bespoke software can be installed.

I am curious to know if anyone is thinking or has deployed RT devices to their end users.
