support for different types of user
access
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server requires access to the organizer application
databases for all users. You can define the location of the database replicas in
each user’s profile, create roaming user profiles, or use web access templates in
your organization's messaging environment.
synchronization of contact pictures The BlackBerry Synchronization Service synchronizes contact pictures between
users’ BlackBerry devices and the email applications on their computers. If
users use their BlackBerry devices to add, change, or delete contact pictures,
the contact lists in their email applications reflect the changes.
The BlackBerry Synchronization Service cannot synchronize contact pictures
that exceed 32 KB.
BlackBerry Attachment Service
The BlackBerry Attachment Service converts supported message attachments into a format that users can view on their
BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry Attachment Service processes attachments and converts them into a binary format
that retains most of the layout, appearance, and navigation of the original attachments. You do not have to install the
applications that are associated with the attachment formats on BlackBerry devices. The attachment viewer installs
automatically with the
BlackBerry Device Software.
The BlackBerry Attachment Service receives attachments that are embedded in messages from the messaging server,
through the
BlackBerry Messaging Agent. The BlackBerry Attachment Service also receives attachments that are
accessed through links in the BlackBerry Browser.
The BlackBerry Attachment Service enables users to play supported audio attachments on supported BlackBerry devices
that are running BlackBerry Device Software version 4.2 or later. The BlackBerry Attachment Service can convert .wav files
into an audio format that a BlackBerry device series supports (for example, .mp3 files on BlackBerry 8700 Series devices).
If the BlackBerry Attachment Service is hosted on a computer that uses Windows Server 2008, the BlackBerry Attachment
Service does not support .mp3 audio files on BlackBerry devices, and the BlackBerry Attachment Service does not support
any audio file formats on BlackBerry 7100 Series devices that support CDMA networks. You must host the BlackBerry
Attachment Service
on a computer that uses Windows Server 2003 if you want the BlackBerry Attachment Service to
support .mp3 audio files on BlackBerry devices and all audio formats on BlackBerry 7100 Series devices that support
CDMA networks.
