We have just setup some BlackBerry devices for upper
management. This devices are on the Nextel network
(meaning they use the Nextel radio feature). My question
is, in Outlook when entering a contacts phone number you
can pick the drop down menu and select Radio as an
option. If you enter the radio ID in this field it will
syncronize with the BlackBerry. The BlackBerry can also
lookup names and information based on Active Directory
when the BlackBerries are in the field. We would like to
be able to have active directory hold the Radio number
some where if possible. I can use the pager field to hold
the information however because this field isn't the
radio field the BlackBerry can view this information but
not use it. Is there a way to customize the Active
Directory Structure to represent the pager field as the
Radio field. I know that this is a little confusing but I
am trying to explain the best I can. The other benfit to
this would be when someone copies the contact from the
global address book to their local contacts that radio
field is field out here as well. Any ideas to this
problem.
Currently Active Directory only holds:
Telephone
Home Phone
Pager
Mobile
Fax
IP Phone.
Outlook has the ability to hold:
Assistant
Business
Business2
Business Fax
Callback
Car
Company
Home
ETC...
and then
*** Radio *** (This field is what the BlackBerry
syncronizes with.)
Since the BlackBerry can use this field when avaiable I
was wondering if I could edit the Active Directory or if
there already is a way to put this information in Active
Directory.
