Blackberry Enterprise Server

This reveiw is brought to you by my good friend Howard Rappaport. I call him JR but don't ask why. He says the following: This book takes you through a step-by-step complete installation and configuration of the most common implementation of BES for Exchange. You’ll review everything from prerequisite configuration options and recommendations to wirelessly deploying applications to your BlackBerry handhelds. Starting with an introduction of BES, you're given a guided tour that explains each BES component and dependency, and then get to see an actual installation; step-by-step. After completing the installation you learn how to provision and manage users, secure those provisioned users, and then secure your data.



The remaining chapters of the book focus on getting the most out of your BES implementation and how to protect that investment from disaster. Details on deploying applications (one of the most confusing aspects of BES), advice on security, and contingency planning truly make this book more than just a simple installation guide. What really makes this book valuable is that you're not burdened with detailed configuration options that have no use or relevance for most people; but instead you're getting a clear, concise understanding of how to implement BES for Exchange all in one place. A fantastic reference guide for the new administrator or the administrator that “inherited” a pre-existing BES environment.
