our 7290's need a software upgrade. instead of me doing this 1 by 1 on my pc is there a way to push the software via BES? (I am on 4.02 now but will be on 4.2 in january)
Not sure it is possible because it takes the device down while upgrading. At the very least if it was possible you would not be able to restore settings or if you would be it would have to require user input. In my opinion it is still safer (granting it is possible to do it remotely) to do this locally
Wireless OS upgrade is planned for the next major release of BES. The handhelds will have to be at a particular OS version (4.2 or higher I think) before it can be done.
