Configuration tasks for managing
BlackBerry
OS devices

If your organization’s
BlackBerry UEM
domain will support
BlackBerry
OS (version 5.0 to 7.1) devices, you can customize the management of
BlackBerry
OS devices. If you upgraded from

to
BlackBerry UEM
, any configuration of the
BES5
components completed before the upgrade remain intact after the upgrade, so you may not need to complete additional configuration tasks.
