As a courtesy to our faculty we create a "contact" in our AD with that faculty member's blackberry address provided when they bought their device. We create a forwarder in the AD under Exchange delivery options and send mail to BB address and faculty mailbox. We use BPS (less than 30 users) to secure mail for Admin Blackberries and I have no complaints at this point.

If you initiate a wipe, it performs a secure erase on the iPhone the next time it contacts the server once the wipe has been set. The app regulation problem applies to Windows Mobile and other ActiveSync devices as well. Blackberry is the best at wiping and application restrictions thus far. -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2009 4:42 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: PUSHING EMAIL TO CELL PHONES On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 14:33, Murray Freeman<mfree...@alanet.org> wrote: > We currently have a single user (our CEO) who we are pushing email to > from our Exchanger Server 2K3.

Verizon lied to us about that about 9 months ago, and I'm still pissed at them. 2) Standardize on one platform. If you can at all help it, do not try to support BB, iPhone, Windows Mobile, etc. I don't care if the semi-geeks have personality conflicts with their non-preferred platforms. If you only support one platform, your life will be easier, and your org will be safer. 3) iPhones suck for business use, at least from a security standpoint. That's a current assessment - they may get better, but I haven't seen it yet. For instance - E2k3 doesn't support remote kill for the iPhone, and there's no way to regulate what apps are installed on an iPhone. Also, breaking physical security on an iPhone is trivial - try youtube for demonstrations. Kurt
