Hi,

Have you look into creating groups - one for company owned, another one
for individual owned - 

Assign the software policy only to the company owned group.

Have you look at the web desktop for those users who may want to do the
updates themselves (that is if you have bes 5 and later)

Subject: [Bes-admins] OTA Updating and Best Policies

 

Hello all,

 

We have about 150 users in Exchange/BES environment.  About 130 of those
devices are not Corporate owned.  When an individual gets an OTA update
(Options - Advanced Options - Wireless Update) our BES is blocking the
ability to do this.  Works great for those Corporate owned folks,
however those devices that are owned by the individual, I seem to be
visiting a lot because they want / need the latest update, or they are
just bothered of seeing the desktop icon that says update available.

 

With this said, I know that my options could be to allow the updating of
personal devices, however how would you do this?  Users would have
different platforms making troubleshooting a pain.  

 

Is there a way to completely hide the icon (by policy) that appears on
the BBs desktop and also suppress the Wireless Update portion as
mentioned above?

 

Thanks in advance...
