This article describes how to configure BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) Work Connection Notification Service monitoring for BES12 environments.
Instructions
When configuring BES12 servers, GSX Monitor recommends a list of Windows services related to it . The Work Connection Notification Service is not part of the default list.
The Work Connection Notification Service is required to allow Push notifications for Secure Workspace. This is due to specific restrictions in the Apple IOS.
