BPS is identical to BES with some MDS restrictions and currently does not support HTML email. Big features we have been SCREAMING for for months. If you want HTML, Full BES is the only option. No eta except first quarter for an upgrade to BPS.

I then type in any password, and on the device, go through enterprise activation. For this, all you need is their email address, and the password you created in the BES.

He is the only user on the server. He's getting ready to upgrade to a Storm. Depending on what I read, where, it will work with the latest firmware on the Storm, but he'll lose HTML email, something I don't think he knew he was getting. Normally, when a client gets a new Blackberry and wants to get it setup on his server, I just delete him as a user and re-add him then provision the Blackberry as if it's the first time the user been connected. I'm wondering if that's the best course of action here or if I should do something different. Anything anyone could add would be helpful. I was not the person who setup the BPS. The technician who set it up put the software on the wrong server (Despite my explicit instructions) and caused a real mess when it was added. The user is understandably a bit gun shy about the process, he knows this could get a bit messy, but I want to try and make this as painless as possible. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
