Re: Copy GAL to outlook contact folder
Question? I'm kind of new to managing BES servers. Are you saying that if we are using a BES with a BB device that it can be configured to pull from the GAL for incoming calls for caller id. So far each of my users has duplicated our GAL in their contacts for things like caller it, and voice dialing. Is there a better way to do this?

Re: Copy GAL to outlook contact folder
Note: We have turned on Content Encryption on our handhelds (to meet with HIPAA requirements). This causes all Caller ID info to be hidden unless the client is actively logged in to their BB device. You see the phone number and that is all. Contacts or not.

You call me, and I see your name because that's how it should be setup. WM/BES/Whatever, having everyone downloaded to your contacts folder is awesome for about a month. Then people leave, new people come aboard, changes happen and pretty soon it's all stale data. So unless you are in this for the long run of maintaining that info, I would take some time to show everyone the GAL lookup functions for email and outbound calling. And if people want the added stuff, have them do their own or let their admins do it. 99% of the time I have been asked for this and I explain what happens to the data down the road (gets stale) people get it right away. -Original Message- From: Matt Plahtinsky [mailto:mplahtin...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2009 5:30 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Copy GAL to outlook contact folder Question? I'm kind of new to managing BES servers. Are you saying that if we are using a BES with a BB device that it can be configured to pull from the GAL for incoming calls for caller id. So far each of my users has duplicated our GAL in their contacts for things like caller it, and voice dialing. Is there a better way to do this?
