Quoting San Antonio, Arvin N s...@nytimes.com:

First post here, although I've been using this list for invaluable   
information.


We're currently preparing for an Exchange migration from Notes and   
we have about 1000 BB users on our Domino BES. We're trying to   
figure out the most efficient way to get these folks activated to   
the new Exchange BES. I understand that since it's  moving to a new   
BES platform, all units must be wiped before getting activated to   
the new BES. Of course we would need to back up the items on the   
units, wipe the device and then reactivate. From a support   
perspective, it would just be a nightmare to have support touch   
every single device for these 1000 users. We're leaning more towards  
 a self-service route in which we provide the users with   
documentation on the whole process. Although we're concerned that   
they might lose data during the process either because a of user   
error with the backup or just a lack of knowledge EVEN with the   
documentation. We've also considered of setting up a support room   
and scheduling the users to have them come to this room and have   
support help them with the process. At least with this, we can have   
several users at the same time attempt the self service documents   
with tech support there to assist.


For those that have experienced this type of migration, please   
advise as to what worked for you and  issues to expect.


Thanks in advance,

Arvin

[Bes-admins] VZW/RIM Service Book outage

2009-05-20 Thread David Baker
Just got off a four hour support call to VZW and RIM when trying to send 
service books to a new device.  They have determined there is a wide spread 
problem affecting many many customers when trying to send service books.

Anyone else going through this today?


Thanks,

Dave
