Deleting BlackBerry® Service Books – (BES)

Deleting BlackBerry® Service Books – (BES)

Service books determine which services are available on your BlackBerry® device.  At times, the service books become corrupt and will cause the Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) to fail upon synchronizing updates of PIM data such as Calendar or Address Book entries. These issues are frequently resolved by deleting and resending the service books to the device.  Please have the user delete all service books starting with the “Desktop” from their Blackberry device.

To delete the service books from the Blackberry take the following steps:
