BES 5 service pack 1


Wow, Monitoring.

Well I've been using BES 5 service pack one for about 2 weeks now, and I have to say this is a really good job by rim addressing some really fundamental issues. It seems like RIM is basiclly putting Boxtone out of buisness, which is good, because BoxTone sucks.
These are the changes that Ive noticed. .

*monitoring has been changed, and is now working correctly, also the Alarm panel and alerts are working correctly.
*Made some graphical changes, and from what I've noticed, you don't get logged out anymore for creating it policies and software configs like you use to. Thank God
*The BlackBerry API is now packaged in with BES so you dont have to install a separate package.
*Seems to be loading a lot faster in certain areas, especially during user adds and removes.
* Made some changes to MDS, but still working like crap as far as I can tell.
* Also, When rim came in initially they told us about LDAP integration, but for the life of me I still cant find it. You do need LDAP integration for the web desktop manager, but they still rely heavily on blackberry groups, with no signs of ldap integration in the future.
