 Handy find - Remote Wipe policy!
Hi guys!
I have been working with bes for some time, 3.6 to be exact, and though I have combed through the policy editor many a times, this morning I found a setting, that simply dont recall seeing before!
If any of you have ever come across a used BB, this will make sence... quite often a used BB will STILL have the old IT policy, though its removable, its one extra step in place.... now I am sure SOME people will say no WAY this is like giving the keys away... but to me, it means less information is kept on the lost bb or stolen bb...
The setting is at the bottom of the Security Policy group, written as the "Remote Wipre Reset to factory Defaults" and reads as,
"Specify whether the BlackBerry device resets itself to factory default settings when it receives the Erase Data and Disable Handheld IT Admin command over the wireless network. Set this IT policy rule to True to require the BlackBerry device to permanently delete its stored IT policy and delete all third party applications, in addition to performing the BlackBerry device wipe process.
If you do not set this rule, a default value of False will be used.
This rule applies only to Java-based BlackBerry devices version 4.2.2 and higher."
Thought I would pass it along, handy if your worried about your information left on the device. Please correct me if I am wrong here in the meaning of this policy.
