Good thing your wife doesn't work for my company.  She'd have been fired after 
the first non-approved update.  ;)

What a PITA it is that users can't upgrade their OS w/o having to bother an 
admin for a re-activation.  Every time a new beta OS comes out for my wife's 
Storm I load it on for her, and she has to call her IT department to have them 
setup an OTA activation...

Was just typing that out.  Another thing I do is (assuming the can place
bread in a toaster and make toast) I have them call me during MY work
hours and hold their hands.  Knowing which device and OS level is
optimal so you can say the spiel below.  Once I hear the people say that
they can now see ...waiting for services on their BB, I let them know to
have a nice day and keep their manual handy.  Preferably under their
keyboard where they keep their passwords!

Thanks!

I send them a simple email with these instructions.

1. goto Options
2. Advanced Options
3. Enterprise Activation
4. Type in your email address
5. Type in the following password. Then it's normally 4 numbers.

Then I sit back and watch the BES. Maybe less then 2% of my remote users

ever have any problems and if they do, it's normally not their fault and

it's a Anti-Spam rule that's blocking the .dat email and throwing it in
their junk email.
