The following procedure shows you how to import a certificate for managed Windows Mobile devices. Importing a certificate adds it to a list of known certificates. After you add the certificate to the list, you can install it, or remove it, from a managed device. For information about how to install or remove certificates, see Installing a Certificateand Revoking a Certificate.
