    Server Software

    BES 4.0 can support any number of wireless carriers - at one point we had well over a dozen between North America, Europe and Asia. It won't support Treo, however. There will be new models like Treo coming out this summer using RIM's software that should be fully compatible. Steve

    BES Server "lost" all users in directory

    We had that happen when something went wrong with the SQL database. Call your vendor for assistance, they should be able to walk you through the steps to fix it (or escalate to someone that can). I didn't do the repair on ours, so I can't tell you what it was we did. Steve

    Calendar wireless sync

    Have you made sure the cdo.dll on your BES is at least at the same version level as the highest of any Exchange server? That will cause similar problems. Steve

    Blackberry Enterprise v3.6

    We learned from RIM that our problems were due to communication delays between the BES and Exchange servers. Threads on the BES get tied up, and after a while there aren't enough threads working to carry all the traffic. That's what causes the delivery delays you see. We're working with them...

    Emails only come in after one is sent

    Have user send themselves a PIN message. If that starts the flow, problem is in handheld not communicating with radio network until it's awakened (like me in the morning). If it takes email through your server, I can't think of *what* would cause that. Steve

    sync more than one blackberry on one computer?

    You can do this as long as there are appropriate Outlook profiles for each user. That usually means separate user logins with Outlook configured in each. Login as user, configure Desktop Manager, then you can synch up a storm. We have sites doing that for users who bought 7280s while still...

    Address Book Vanished

    Al;so, when all else fails in solving user-based config problems like this: - Close Desktop Manager - Delete <user profile>\Application Data\Rersearch In Motion folder - Delete registry key HKCU\Software\Research In Motion - Open Desktop Manager, reselect configuration Steve

    Blackberry ringing

    Most Blackberrys ship with the phone enabled, for emergency use, and they have a number assigned that's primarily for billing. So, these could be real phone calls (wrong numbers, presumably), though the number looks awfully strange. Steve

    Enabling wireless calender synch remotely

    This involves interaction between Desktop Manager, the handheld unit, and the servers. I doubt it can be done any way except remoting in. I don't think I'd trust any other way - even when you're at the desktop the standard procedure occasionally gives flaky results. Sorry! Steve

    Address Book Vanished

    Are the contacts still present in Outlook? Has the name of the Contacts folder changed? If they are there, try going into Intellisynch, configure PIM, Contacts. Remove the present pointer to his contact folder, close, exit that window, go back in again and reselect his Contacts folder. I've...

    Blackberry Enterprise v3.6

    We also have this problem, with delays often ranging up to 6-10 houyrs. It seems to pick on a dozen or so users for a few days, then switches to another set. No apparent pattern. Last time our server engineers asked support about this, it was not a known problem. I'll pass the word about it...

    Unable to delete certain older email messages on BB7210

    Does he get any error messages? Have you tried doing a hard reset, then deleting them? Steve

    BES 3.6 Wireless Calendat Sync Not Working

    Somewhere around the second or third synch after setting Blackberry Wireless Calendar, you should get a pair of messages that talk about deleting all appointments. Did you respond yes? If not, that's your problem. The messages sound scary, but are needed. If that's the problem, switch back to...

    Blackberry sync process...have to change betwn server name and IP addr

    That sounds like a name resolution problem - makes me think you have a DNS issue. Try doing nslookup to test, and using a hosts file and see if that helps. If it does, research the DNS problems further. Steve

    Windows 2003 SBS , wireless calender not working

    OK, it's cdo.dll, not ocx. My typo. Go to http://www.blackberry.net/support/faqs/enterprise/installation/index.shtml#q7 and q8 for info at the BB site, that links to MS pages as a source for the file. Choose the one that fits your version of Exchange. Steve
