Hi Doreen, We don't use EAS policies here, but if you want I can create a policy and set it on my mailbox and then configure my PB2.0 to sync with it and let you know the results? If so, let me know which policy items you're interested in.

Re: [Bes-admins] Playbook 2.0
Hi Richard, That would be great. I am mainly interested in remote wipe capability and whether it supports / requires a password before you can sync contacts, calendars, email. We use 8 character complex password and when we try to sync a device via activsync is should ask for a password before allowing the device to sync. I didn't see this happen when I tried to sync. We are an Exchange 2007 environment. What version of Exchange are you running?

Re: [Bes-admins] Playbook 2.0
The answer given today is no. Fusion consists of three products as I understand it. BES/BAS, Blackberry Device Manager (Playbook and BB OS 10), and Universal Device Server (Android iOS) fused together with a single management interface resembling BAS. Forgive me if I make minor mistakes in the names, but that's basically what they are called. Each has different, non-transferrable CALs.

Re: [Bes-admins] Playbook 2.0
We had a big rollout of AD/Exchange accounts over the past 3 or 4 months. With that a lot of phone activations with personally owned and branch owned devices. Our BBs went from about 60 to about 75 or 80. Our Android, iPhone and corresponding tablets went from 0 to about 220. In fact, we had branch users who were using BESX and switched to Android just to avoid paying the BES data plan. The CALs were coming out of our budget. We are using hosted MDM, and paying per device per month. Buying CALs for Fusion is looking like a very attractive alternative right now. -- Art Alexion Systems Engineer -- Infrastructure Engineering Group Resources for Human Development On 3/2/12 10:55 PM, Darhl Thomason darhl.thoma...@papamurphys.com wrote: No worries on the names Art, I won't hold you to them :-) I kind of figured the CALs wouldn't be transferrable, but anything's possible, right?

Re: [Bes-admins] Playbook 2.0
That's good to know. We're getting ready to open up for iDevices and are looking at MDM. We're not planning on allowing any personally owned devices, at least not yet...but we all know how things change, right?

With that a lot of phone activations with personally owned and branch owned devices. Our BBs went from about 60 to about 75 or 80. Our Android, iPhone and corresponding tablets went from 0 to about 220. In fact, we had branch users who were using BESX and switched to Android just to avoid paying the BES data plan. The CALs were coming out of our budget. We are using hosted MDM, and paying per device per month. Buying CALs for Fusion is looking like a very attractive alternative right now. -- Art Alexion Systems Engineer -- Infrastructure Engineering Group Resources for Human Development On 3/2/12 10:55 PM, Darhl Thomason darhl.thoma...@papamurphys.com wrote: No worries on the names Art, I won't hold you to them :-) I kind of figured the CALs wouldn't be transferrable, but anything's possible, right?
