Re: [Bes-admins] BlackBerry IT Policy
Why would you want to restrict people from having the goodness of the appworld? The only thing I force on BB’s is a signature from our company. Else they have free reign of whatever they want to do. Unless you work for the gov. or don’t own your own BB, I would expect many others to be like this also.

Re: [Bes-admins] BlackBerry IT Policy
Good question! I've been meaning to post this on here for a while. My company has around 100 users on BES and we don't restrict anything, although most of our users don't know how to install an app, so we aren't too worried about them messing something up. However, I have had a few users "Error: 507" their devices before. -Dan On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 2:41 PM, Todd R.

Re: [Bes-admins] BlackBerry IT Policy
We don't allow personal BB on the enterprise. If you don't control user's ability to install 3rd party applications, a user could upload their business contacts and calendars to FaceBook or other social networking site? Are there any known security vulnerabilies with BlackBerry device that can be installed with a 3rd Party Application? -Dzung From: bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com [mailto:bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com] On Behalf Of Todd R.

Re: [Bes-admins] BlackBerry IT Policy
We view it as a coporate owned device (which all of our Blackberries are). We do not let anyone install software on their computers, so we extend the same policy to our mobile devices. Our policy is just as restrictive as Dzung's, plus we block BIS. Everyone (including myself) has all the tools they need to perform their job using this policy.

Re: [Bes-admins] BlackBerry IT Policy
“How come my previous messages are disappearing?” - because you’ve installed every app you can find leaving no memory for Messages. “How come I only have half a day of battery and it runs slow?” – because you have a bunch of apps running in the background constantly. “How come some of my unrelated to work applications aren’t working right?” -- [bangs phone against the desk a few times then hangs up.] We tried application restrictions but it was removing apps that were Allowed each time we added an app to the Allowed list. May try this again when we move to BES 5. From: bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com [mailto:bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com] On Behalf Of Todd R.

Re: [Bes-admins] BlackBerry IT Policy
I was suprised that the iPhone makes a good enterprise phone (at least from a feature standpoint). I would actually preferr them to a Windows Mobile phone. My biggest gripe with iPhones/Windows Mobile phones is that we cannot secure them to my liking using out Exchange 2003 environment, hence we converted to BES about a year ago. - Chris On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 2:55 PM, Eggan, Mark wrote: > "Why don't we have iPhones"! > > > > That is the issue that we have here.

Re: [Bes-admins] BlackBerry IT Policy
I control the IT policy and BES so I allow most everything on the BB’s. The only people that have them anymore are the exec’s and only 2 of them come to me and ask for help and that’s just long enough to setup a new one they purchased, after that I rarely hear from them except asking about the latest AT&T BB’s because I always have it.

Re: [Bes-admins] BlackBerry IT Policy
All of our BBs are company owned, however, our IT Policy is not very restrictive. We allow 3rd party apps. If I put in a lengthy password requirement, I would never hear the end of it! We use AutoLock for the standard keyboard lock. We don't disable USB Mass Storage mode because some folks like to have some photos or music on their SD card. All of our machines run a program called USBVirusScan, which automatically starts an antivirus scan anytime anything is plugged into a USB port.
