Soooo here is an interesting one. I am trying to determine a few things and would love some assistance. With the WiFi & Blackberry combo being so new myself and my company have decided that enabling WiFi is a risk we are not willing to take just yet. I am now tasked in determining what I can do to disable the WiFi on the BB Bold via the use of IT Policies. I have searched the Blackberry site and oddly enough I couldn't find anything of any use. to sum up what I am looking for:
1. What version(s) of BES is required to push an IT Policy to disable WiFi on WiFi enabled devices? (BB Bold mainly)
Of course I can see an inherent problem with manually disabling Wi-Fi: it does not keep the user from re-enabling it. I cannot see where you or your business would be the first to have this problem arise (whether it be for Wi-Fi or other programs).
I would do a search for enterprise or professional software that would enable "locking" Wi-Fi from being used. This can be software utilized at either of two ends: via the Blackberries or via the actual network itself blocking the actual access of the Blackberries.
In all reality you will not be able to efficiently disable or remove Wi-Fi from each BB, but blocking its use is doable, just gotta find the software to do it.
