Populating Messenger Via BES
 

Hello,

I have a quick question. Is it possible to auto-populate the Blackberry Messenger contact list, with users on our BES server? IE we deploy a new phone, and we can push all the users currently on our BES server to show up on their blackberry messenger without having to manually add them?

Thanks.

I think the simple answer is no but I am no BBM expert. That thread is about taking your BBM contacts with you when you change phone, which does work fine on 4.5+. If you are talking about having a new EA for a new user populate BBM with all BES users, I think it's a no, but would like to now how if it's a yes 8-).

Not in BES 4.1.x
I have not fully explored this functionality in 5 - what version of BES are you on?

Anyway, for 4.1.6 BBM data on devices is backed up and restored when a new device EA'd, but there is no way to push a list of BBM contacts from BES to BBs.
