Good advice Chris, but the device selection almost has to come after choosing a service provider. To deploy 50 or so stable 7290's on to of a stinky service like Nextel will cause you a great deal of grief. Most devices Rim produces are duplicated to most of the service providers in the cellular...

By any chance is this user also a palm pilot user? I mean any type of palm os device?

Yes it will work just as simply as doing a back up from the 957 and a restore to the 7290.... on caveat... the incoming items will overwrite the existing data on the 7290.... meaning any messages he has accumulated since the install will be overwritten with the messages his old device holds up...

To install Bes on a box that has outlook installed will absolutely fail the BES installation. It wont even let you procede with the Bes installation if the Utilty detects outlook.

As far as I have ever known, Distribution lists do not sync down from outlook to a Blackberry, and they dont Sync up from a Device to outlook. Just one peice of functionality the Blackberry does not have.

Markdmac, Thank you That is exactly what I needed! Any suggestions on what areas of scripting I should bone up on to continue improving in this particular area? I read through my scripting book and found nothing close to the code you have there. Again, Thanks for the quick and accurate response

Hello, I am trying ( as much as a beginner can try) to write a script that will display a users default printer among other things. Here is the portion of the script that That I have so far that does indeed echo the default printer, but I would like to learn how to extract the printer name...

what was your solution??? i may need it

Hope the upgrades went well for you....

AGA, on a network that small you should probably just set up a host file manually match the server names to ip addresses and deploy it to the pc's by log in script. I say this because i did not see you mention that you have a dns server or wins server in the house.
