I know the feeling of your secure network being compromised by an end user… Passwords do fall into the wrong hands and then what do you do? Scenarios start running through my head and I make a mental list of all the passwords and system configs that need to be changed. These aren’t fun times [...]

You know the saying, “You can’t have too much RAM or too much storage.”
Well, there is at least one case where a lot of RAM can cause problems.
My current desktop had 1 Gig of RAM and I recently bought an additional 2 Gigs since the price was so low. (And of course I used [...]

Everyone knows your friendly neighborhood admin is all about shortcut keys and uber productivity.
I don’t know how I never found this one before… Check it out you have your quick launch buttons displayed next to your start menu for easy access.

We have used many different retail programs to recover accidentally or maliciously deleted files off of our PC, Digital Camera or Mobile device. We have tried a few free ones and they bring us back to the old saying… You get whatcha pay for! As such we never really covered the topic here on Ata, [...]

We have reviewed Crucial Memory in the past here when we gave away a 2gb memory module to one of our readers. So we were happy to plug them again when Jenny from San Fransisco wrote us asking:
Yo Admin can you tell me what kind of memory is in my PC without me having to [...]

Do you hate looking for and downloading drivers on every re-format?
Well if you can get to your desktop you should be able to run Double Driver and copy your drivers off your machine to a USB stick and then restore them right back into your fresh clean formatted system! We covered something a little while [...]

So are you wondering why you would want to save your searches?
Think about it… How would you like the ability to dynamically find the items you need with a saved search? So the boss called and said – I need all the purchase orders less than a months old and tagged Smith?
How about Power Point [...]

This morning we had a request for adding a “High Priority Folder”.
This would be a top level folder that shows up on your Windows desktop and in My Computer. Didn’t think you could do that? Well read on…
The folder we will be creating can not be removed – just like My Computer or My Documents. [...]

How many items are in the deleted folder?
I had this problem with other huge folders once I tried cuting all the messages from the folder and moving them to a temp folder
i then added 1 msg to the folder to by synced. And that fixed my problem.- it synced quick.
It turned out it was a corrupt msg in the folder. I just kept adding them in blocks of 20 until i found the culprit.

When you delete something from your mail client, you usually want it deleted from your PDA as well, and vice versa… Sorry if the syntax was confusing.

Slothman: Good question, they didn’t specify. I am assuming BES, because that is what the original blog post was about.

I was talking with my company’s BES admin, and he said that the latency from the deleted items sync going from Outlook back to the Handheld is normal and there isn’t anything you can do about it. He said that deleted items on the phone sync almost instantly, but backwards it can take some time.

Wow…that is not my experiences with the BES at all!
Must be an Outlook/Exchange issue! ;-)
Glad we’re a Notes/Domino shop! :-D
It might also help that we’re a very small shop…only 25 BES clients, but with the Notes/Domino BES deletions from Notes are sync’d via the air within 30 seconds. Changes via Notes, such as calendar entries and changes are reflected, via the air, within 30 seconds.
We have our BES and our clients set that the Notes client wins, meaning all actions performed on the handheld need to be approved during a manual sync on the Blackberry Desktop Software.
Crappy answer at best, but it is the answer.
