Asset Management and BlackberriesShawn, In that case, why don't you create a position code (or reuse an existing one), and have the Computer Name as the position of the owner of the phone. Chances are a blackberry item may change owners but the position may always remain the same barring a few exceptions... So a change of owner will in most cases not really affect the Computer Name...

This probably isn’t a huge issue, but I wonder if there is a downside to that, since the phone number is essentially dynamic. It basically means that if a Blackberry Asset record gets created with no Serial Number populated, it would potentially be lost in the system somewhere.

If so, what Class are you storing them in, and how do you track the phone number? Thanks, Shawn Pierson No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
