I have a user base of 200 Blackberry users, does anyone have a solution to import all of the users pins into the blackberries. Currently I am mapping the phone and notes field in exchange to the pin field on the blackberry and importing a contact list of all the users to the users outlook and resyncing. It puts the pins in the blackberry. I am looking for some way to automatically do this. Its alot of work to import an updated contact list to 200 users. Any help would be appreciated.

If they are BB 950/957 or 850/857 i know that you can do some neat stuff with the dos program.exe utility in their SDK available by request from RIM. I don't know about this for sure but it could be possible to extract the address book from one berry (because it's just a library or database) and pop it into others.

When i switched between my 957 and 6710, i did a backup of the 957 Internet edition using the windows software, then installed the new 6710 windows Desktop software and it was able to read the 957 backup file, so i did an ADVANCED restore to restore what items i wanted, including the address book. I did an advanced restore because i was afraid that if i did an all out restore, the 957 stuff would mess up my 6710.

200 BB users? THat's a pretty big user base. How do they like the Berry?

Rocket,

I may have something that addresses your issue with PIM's on the BB. LRW Digital, http://www.lrwdigital.com, developed an application for the US Senate. It may be the same thing you are looking for; let meknow and I'll be glad to send more info!
