The boys and girls in Waterloo (RIM) have released Service Pack 1 for BES 5.0 for Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Domino. I can hear the cheers and applause already (ok, not really). But seriously, Service Pack 1 has been somewhat anticipated by many out there… No doubt due to the number of fixes that are surely included.
New features you’ll with Service Pack 1 (via BBCool):
- BlackBerry device dashboard – Use the device dashboard to access the BlackBerry Monitoring Service which is now mobile friendly.
- Enhancements to the BlackBerry Administration Service – You can better manage user accounts, navigate search results and you can view user account info when add and manage apps.
- Enhancements to the BlackBerry Monitoring Service homepage – The homepage has been enhanced so you can view performance data and user statistics, graphs, messaging server mappings and overview info for BES components that are associated with all BES instances that the BMS monitors.
- Enhancements to the calendar sync process – You can now run a calendar sync process on a BES instance to find and correct differences between the calendar entries on the device and the desktop.
- More language support – BES is now available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Japanese.
- Support for importing WiFi profiles and VPN profiles from a .CSV file – You can add, delete, or update the WiFi profiles and VPN profiles that you assign to user accounts by importing a .csv file.
- Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
Release notes are also available for BES for Microsoft Exchange, and BES for IBM Lotus Domino. Happy Service Pack 1-ing! 🙂
