Windows Phone Equivalent to iOS's .mobileconfig

Question

I'm trying to retrieve the UDID of a windows phone device without installing an app. Apparently you can do this for iOS devices by sending users a signed .mobileconfig file that installs a webclip that tacks on the device's UDID as a querystring parameter.

See: Read UDID from Iphone with javascript on mobile safari

I'd like to determine if something like this is possible on Windows Phone (either 7 or ideally 8). Basically e-mail a file to users that installs a live tile that links to a site that has the UDID tacked on the querystring.

I don't see the benefits of using UDID over something else? – Vinny Jan 11 '13 at 23:13 — Vinny, Jan 11 '13 at 23:13

Nope, unfortunately there is nothing like this to my knowledge ... I'd love to be proven wrong though :P

That is correct. The most you will get from a user visiting a web page from a Windows Phone is a user agent string. – Den Jan 10 '13 at 18:58
Not even in WP8? It seems to be much more enterprise friendly. – Lee Richardson Jan 10 '13 at 21:08
