.55 out now, new feature: Selectively enable/disable BESUserAdminClient functions for BerryStats roles...

.55 is out, and the big addition is the new ability to select/deselect BESUserAdminClient functions for your roles.

This means if you only want to grant your helpdesk the ability to reset device passwords and Activation passwords (for example), then you can do so.  You can be as granular as you wish, making it easy to keep people from doing the wrong things in BerryStats!

What you don't see yet but is on my test bed is 'Self Service'...an additional role that allows your users to log in with their AD credentials and perform approved useradminclient functions on their own device (screenshots coming)!

New reports in version .54!

You can now create your own custom reports and make them available in BerryStats, version .54.

I will be working to make it possible to lock these down to unauthorized users, but if you don't have to worry about that, then give .54 a try!

New query page coming soon...

Right now, the queries are pretty limited (only a few to select from), but I am working out a new way of doing this - my intent is to have XML-based reports definitions that allow you to save and run any type of query that you like.

Not only that, but you should be able to trade queries with other users and completely customize your reports within BerryStats.

The page will have a way to define your own SQL query, and also grant you the ability to save and name a query that works for you. Also, I will add a feature to email the results to a SMTP recipient.

Should prove to be fun at the very least...

.53 released

This change should take BerryStats out of beta...

New home for BerryStats!

I am moving my main page for BerryStats from www.vbshf.com to Google Sites. They have a really cool interface and dynamic way of creating various pages which seems to fit my needs quite well, allowing you to see more of the guts of the project as it progresses, including a more dynamic changelog, feature & enhancement list, and more!

Check it out here:

This is where you will find the latest downloads from now on - I will update the link at the right accordingly!

0.52 uploaded: Setup.asp page + some updates!

.52 beta 8/13/08 newness:

• Modified backend XML save/load function, should now update only the elements that changed, rather than delete/saving the file altogether.
• Created 'setup.asp' page for first time installs, no more manual editing of configuration.xml!
• Updated/fixed Domino view to include username and groupname - you must apply this new view!
• Updated Exchange view to include username and groupname - you must apply this new view!
• Updated lite.asp so that it would run the besuseradmin client with Domino username (if username was present). Need people to test this!

.52 beta fixes:

When exporting a spreadsheet to Excel, it opens up as an .asp file instead of .xls - this is because the downloaded file was not being declared as an XLS mime-type menu drop down for licenses would show 1 more license than server status page BB Browser will now redirect to index.asp after a successful logon BlackBerry 8700g was showing no image - this is due to BES or BlackBerry reporting back as only 8700, new image created for 8700_small.jpg Mail server was showing up as 'Exchange' server, now is 'Mail' server

Self Service?

I'm thinking of also including a self-service page for BlackBerry users so they can reset their own activation password (they can set everything else on the device easily enough, I think).

What do you think?

I realize that there is a Web Desktop Manager that RIM is offering, but this requires ActiveX installations on each client that runs it. I figured this would be a bit lighter.

What other functions do you think should be included on a "Self Service" page?
