One other thing to take a look at is a product called NotifySync. NotifySync is a 3rd party app that provides ActiveSync integration on the Blackberry. We have a variety of smartphone to support and just a handful of Blackberries so this has worked well for us. It's not perfect because it's a 3rd party app sitting on top of the OS but they've done a pretty good job with it. The good news is it also supports pushing password policies, timeouts and users can issue a device wipe from Outlook Web Access. They have a trial version so it's free to take a look; $100 per license. ****************************** David Vietti Systems Administration Manager Michigan State University Physical Plant Division Room 1 Physical Plant East Lansing, MI 48824 (517)432-0240 Office (517)353-5001 fax [log in to unmask] ****************************** -----Original Message----- From: Aldrich, Dak [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 10:55 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] BES inquiry... Ok. So... I'm new to this trend called a BlackBerry. (It will NEVER replace the iPhone, but for work, I just couldn't justify a second iPhone to keep work and personal phones separate...) In every way it is great for what I need, except for the main reason I got it.. It's email functionality is SO far under the bar, it's almost unusable without the BES. As I have a few BB users here, I'm going to be getting the BES, which i understand will solve all of my email woes... However, I haven't had a chance to read up much on it. I was wondering about others using it out there... do you run it on it's own dedicated server? or do you run it right on the exchange server? I will have no more than 5 users using it. Is there any advice that you all might have on it, regarding the setup or general maintenance, that might be useful to a newbie? Thanks! -dak ------------------------------ -dak aldrich -network admin -college of music, msu [log in to unmask] -517.432.5045 -http://comit.music.msu.edu
