With secure messaging, Plazmic Inc. has decided to implement the S/MIME support package. How can the IT department deploy this for all the BlackBerry device users? (Choose one)

Question

Options

• AUse a software configuration to push it to all BlackBerry device users
• BUse the BlackBerry Desktop Manager to upload the S/MIME support package
• CUse the BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager to allow users to install the S/MIME support package
• DHave the user download it from the S/MIME website on the BlackBerry device

• A

• B
  78% (14)
• C
  11% (2)
• D
  6% (1)

Explanation

Option B is correct because the S/MIME Support Package for BlackBerry must be installed through the BlackBerry Desktop Manager, which is the dedicated PC-based tool that IT administrators use to manage and push software packages directly to BlackBerry devices via a wired connection.

Option A is wrong because software configuration pushes (typically via BlackBerry Enterprise Server policies) do not support deploying the S/MIME package - it requires the Desktop Manager's direct installation method, not a wireless policy push.

Option C is wrong because the BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager is a self-service portal for end users, not a tool for centralized IT deployment - it puts control in the user's hands, which is not appropriate for a security-critical package rollout.

Option D is wrong because the S/MIME Support Package is not available for download directly from a website on the BlackBerry device itself; it must be sourced and installed through the proper desktop software channel.

Memory tip: Think "Desktop Manager = Desktop Installation." Any time a BlackBerry security or support package needs to be formally deployed by IT, the Desktop Manager (the PC-side management tool) is the answer - not wireless policies, web portals, or device-side downloads.
