The difference with these logs is they do not get auto deleted based on the retention settings in BES. So your log folder will have many date folders with just these 3 log files. Not a big deal since these logs are not very big, but something to keep a eye on. Also, this only logs devices with 4.x software.

I have done a few scans of these logs and people put way too much information in s SMS message; from affairs to drug dealing. Luckily the drug dealer left the company so I did not have to divulge the information.

Can't seem to find it in the hundreds of options. ________________________________ From: Senter, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2008 2:15 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Blackberry policy They can be logged. A BES will log SMS, PIN, and phone calls. There is a policy to enable this and it pulls the information from the devices and places them in the log files on the BES with the other system logs. We have that enabled here but nobody is looking at them, yet.

Aside from the expense of texting, are there any reasons to block SMS messaging on corporate issued Blackberries? I previously read an article about some security issues, but the article is 3 years old, so one would hope those issues are resolved.
