• BDeploy BlackBerry Desktop Manager and have users activate with BlackBerry Desktop Manager
• CAdd the user to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and set an Activation Password, then have the users
• DSet the "Skip Enterprise Activation Password Requirement" option to True in the BlackBerry

• A

• B
  8% (2)
• D
  4% (1)
• E
  15% (4)

Explanation

Option A is correct because BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager (BWDM) is a browser-based self-service portal that lets users activate and manage their own devices without IT staff involvement - no software to install, no hands-on admin time per device, making it ideal for large-scale deployments with minimal overhead and cost.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (BlackBerry Desktop Manager) requires installing client software on each user's PC and more hands-on IT involvement, increasing overhead.
• C (Add user to BES + Activation Password) requires an admin to manually configure each user account individually - high overhead at scale.
• D (Skip Activation Password Requirement) is a security setting, not a deployment method, and weakens security without solving the deployment problem.
• E (BlackBerry Administration Console) requires admin-side activation of each device individually, which is time-consuming at scale.

Memory tip: Think "Web = Self-service = Scale." Anything web-based in these options signals that users do the work themselves, which is always the low-overhead answer when deploying to a large number of devices.
