Good day all,



We are in the middle of a VoIP rollout which means that many more users in our org will receive BB devices. I have just received a requirement from our CIO to create 3 different IT Policies on our BES server. The one I'm having a problem with is removing the ability, through policy, to disallow users from surfing the web on their BB device. I have gone into the specified IT Policy--> Browser Policy Group--> Allow IBS Browser and set this to False as recommeded by several other sites. Needless to say, I have pushed this policy to a new device with no change. The device is still able to browse the web wether I use the normal Browser or the Vodafone Live! icon. They both need to be disabled or removed. I would greatly appreciate any assistance provided. Thanks in advance.

What version is your BES?

In a 5.0, try:

Global > Allow Browser > False

If anything still gets through, also try:

Browser > Allow IBS Browser > False
Browser > Allow Hotspot Browser > False

Hey Jadey,

Thanks for the reply. We are using BES version 4.1.3

The Global--> Allow Browser had already been set to False and the Browser--> Allow IBS Browser as well. Hotspot Browser I'm still looking for.

I've been BES 5 for a while, you might not have that setting in 4.1.x

Have a look at the link knottyrope posted...
