I found this somewhere on the web when I setup our BES, and I have never had any problems with remote users setting it up... I just select "Generate and Email Activation Password" for the user...

After supporting Treo in their late and flaky years, I expected BES to be a godsend. Yet, I still have to activate phones for about half the local people, and am having a hard time activating remote users. Based on the inability of local users to follow what seem to me to be simple instructions, I have to conclude that the problem is not technical; they are just doing it wrong. Does anyone have reliably easy to follow instructions for remote users? How do you make this work? -- Art Alexion MIS _______________________________________________ Bes-Admins mailing list [email protected] http://www.dataoutages.com/mailman/listinfo/bes-admins http://www.dataoutages.com http://www.dataoutagenews.com RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Bes-admins --------------------------------- Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message.
