Hi all
I'm BES administrator. Sometimes for troubleshooting I need Blackberry device but there is no way to get it now. So I decided to use BB simulator for that. Simulator version used is 9530.
I followed KB article DB-00049

It's written there as soon as I turn on "USB Cable connect" Enterprise activation will be done via Desktop manager. But nothing happened. Moreover the question appears how can Desktop manager know my address and where the BES is if I'm located outside of BES (and Exchange) local network so there is no way to connect to the server directly.

I tried to run Enterprise Activation on the simulator. However it requested to turn radio on for this. I did it but nothing happened.

Also I noticed in Device Manager it tries to connect to the host activationBBR.mycompany.com:4101. I always thought BB device communicates to BES only via RIM servers. Do I miss anything?

Thank you for any advise
