When it comes to activating users, we have five options to choose from:
- BlackBerry Administration Service: We can connect the device to a computer and log on to the BAS to assign and activate a device for a user
- Over the Wireless Network (OTA): We can activate a BlackBerry to join our BES without needing it to be physically connected to our organization
- Over the LAN: A user who has BlackBerry Desktop Manager running on his or her computer in the corporate LAN can activate the device by plugging the device into his or her machine and running the BlackBerry Desktop Manager
- BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager: This is a new feature of BES 5 that allows users to connect the device to a computer and log in to the BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager to activate the device, with no other software required
- Over your corporate organization's Wi-Fi network: You can activate Wi-Fi-enabled BlackBerry devices over your corporate Wi-Fi network
Before we look at each of the options available to us, let's examine what enterprise activation is and how it works along with its settings; this will also help us choose the best option for activating devices for users and avoid errors during the enterprise activation.
