hi all,
i am new to bes 5 . i have installed the express version and can not see the admin console on the windows.

I can however see a admin console which is accessed through a website, does the new bes no longer support local api interface to the bes and all has to be done through web browsers?


Thanks

correct it is web based only for past 4 years

I also was not very happy with the console from the original release.
But, RIM has made several improvements to it (you can even right-klick an item even if it runs in a web-browser session!).

And you can use the console also with a blackberry handheld.

If there would be a real console for Windows and, a Web-Interface, that would have been the best choice, but its not very likely for any developer to implement this.

All together I find it usable in the meantime, a little sluggish, but, given the option to administer it from Windows, Mac and Blackberry I dont miss the old console very much.
