Re: Blackberry BES Image Vulnerability

[David Liu]

I think bas only if u have bes running on it...my reading of this is that
5.03 MR3 fixes the vulnerability among other things & that the ISSU is only
applicable for 5.01 and 5.0.2

Been using lots of Eaton UPSs. So far so good. I also remember when APC
meant quality.

RE: same IP printer - two different print servers

Thanks again everyone... turns out I'm going to have to set them up sooner than 
later after all.  The former print server finally died of old age this morning. 
 The good news though is that it also means I can finally retire the 4 external 
modems that provided dial up.  Yes - I seriously had faculty and staff using 
dial up!

We set up a second server with the same printernames.

Then we used a vbscript in the loginscript to remap the old printers to the new 
ones for everyone.

Then you wait a while so most people get changed automatically before retiring 
the old printserver.

We didn't change the printernames to keep things easier for the users.

The only real issue I see is that your helpdesk might get some calls after the 
old printer server is retired. I have done this type of thing many times for 
our schools. Not sure how you have the students and staff access the printers, 
we would put shortcuts into the start menu for them to use based upon what 
there home school was. Then last year we setup the printer shortcut to run a VB 
script that got the location IP information and then based upon the the groups 
they were in would then bring up only the printers at the location they were 
at.  But if they have installed the printer from the old server they just have 
to add the one from the new server, but still a pain for the helpdesk if the 
staff is at least not sent an email about the change.
