The BlackBerry UEM system administrator (BlackBerry Proxy & Control) periodically faced with situations when part or all of the BlackBerry Work clients cannot connect to their mailboxes / calendars. The reason may be on BlackBerry servers, an ISP or in home WiFi router.
To identify issues on the client side, I decided to write a PowerShell script that checks the availability of the main components that necessary for BlackBerry Work.
The script has several settings that determine which types of servers need to be checked. You can also change the server list.
The list of settings:
$country = "us" # <<<<<< 'ca' = Canada | 'ru' = Russia | 'us' = United States only (US)
$ShowBlocking = "no" # <<<<<< Set 'yes' if you want to check blocking IP and domain in Russia.
$ShowPush = "no" # <<<<<< Set 'yes' if you want to see Push Notification servers (a lot).
$ShowCloud = "yes" # <<<<<< Set 'yes' if you want to see BlackBerry UEM Cloud servers.
$ShowDirectConnect = "no" # <<<<<< Set 'yes' if you want to set dedicated BlackBerry Direct Connect servers.
$ShowBlackberryConnectivityNode = "yes" # <<<<<< Set 'yes' if you want to see BlackBerry Connectivity Nodes.
$ShowBlackberrySite = "yes" # <<<<<< Set 'yes' if you want to see BlackBerry site.
$ShowBEMS = "yes" # <<<<<< Set 'yes' if you want to see which serevers needed for BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Server (BEMS).
