"We had one Sales person terminated one time who had a memory card in his BB (BB was the company's memory card was his, maybe paid using his corporate credit card but...) and when we sent the wipe command to the device it wiped his memory card."
Nope... didn't happen. That's not possible. A wipe from BES doesn't touch the memory card. From: bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com [mailto:bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com] On Behalf Of Chess E.

However this is why most companies don't allow personal blackberries on their BESs. The last place I worked as the BES was my responsibility and we changed the policy about personal BBs. Depending on the size of your company, most companies have an employee terminated distribution list. That's how we got notified. When someone was terminated we got an email listing the date of termination. Then we'd go on the BES and on the day of termination send a wipe and disable command to the device. Hell, I got to see mine termination email and wipe my BB when I left :) Still have that email. I don't like an auto wipe like the below user has suggested, but I believe it would work. However before wiping a personal BB I'd check with HR on the policy. We had one Sales person terminated one time who had a memory card in his BB (BB was the company's memory card was his, maybe paid using his corporate credit card but...) and when we sent the wipe command to the device it wiped his memory card. He was very upset and really gave the HR lady a hard time when she told him that the data was lost. Yes, I know you can disable the memory card slot using the BES, by my VP would not hear of that. (He used to store music on his device... maybe purchased on his corporate card) :) ________________________________ From: bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com on behalf of wrbdec...@gmail.com Sent: Wed 10/14/2009 5:12 PM To: A list for BES Admin's to discuss issues,etc. Subject: Re: [Bes-admins] Policy Question for exiting employees with theirownBBs I will have to look it up, but there is a command to wipe if policy not received (I think anyway). Have your policy interval set to a specific time period, (for those on vacation, etc) so it will push out every so often. If a device is out of contact too long it wipes automatically (which would happen if their account is removed/disabled). I don't think I'm making this up, but now you are gonna make me look it up lol Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T -----Original Message----- From: "Eggan, Mark" <meg...@co.napa.ca.us> Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:04:51 To: A list for BES Admin's to discuss issues,etc.<bes-admins@dataoutages.com> Subject: [Bes-admins] Policy Question for exiting employees with their own BBs _______________________________________________ Bes-Admins mailing list Bes-Admins@dataoutages.com http://www.dataoutages.com/mailman/listinfo/bes-admins http://www.dataoutages.com http://www.dataoutagenews.com RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Bes-admins --------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Bes-Admins mailing list Bes-Admins@dataoutages.com http://www.dataoutages.com/mailman/listinfo/bes-admins http://www.dataoutages.com http://www.dataoutagenews.com RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Bes-admins ---------------------------------
