optionsmedia cardencryption mode: I use the device + security password setting and encrypt media files this will encrypt all future files you save on the SD card.

RE: Another Blackberry Question
Ah, I see what you mean. If you were able to format the SD card so ONLY the BB can use it - maybe that would solve the problem? But I don't believe you can do this.

You can also put the card in a reader directly in a computer and put files on there unencrypted. It seems to be a limit of the file based encryption rather than drive encryption. At least that is what my current reading from BB is telling me. I may be wrong as we are just cutting our teeth with BB.

RE: Another Blackberry Question
It seems like the best solution would be to remove the SD and force the user to use the device's internal memory. This would be encrypted and only accessible on the BB.

RE: Another Blackberry Question
If I recall correctly, you have to disable mass storage on the device after enabling encryption. Then use the Desktop Manager to transfer files after unlocking the device. - John Barsodi From: Kevin Lundy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 12:55 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Another Blackberry Question Yes, but you can use mass storage mode to put files on the card unencrypted.

Re: Another Blackberry Question
That's the conclusion I'm coming to. Although that doesn't still prevent taking the card out and putting files on it directly. That one I can address via policy and enforcement.

You could super-glue the card into the device. Removing the card would probably destroy it (and the phone). Prolly not appropriate for your environment, but I actually did something similar once. We needed to enable USB for a test equipment connection, but the powers that be were hostile to USB. Superglued the working plug in to one jack, and superglued a plug with the cable cut off in the other. TPTB were happy. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
