Hi Lanwench,

I like your answer. Thanks! I did not even think about begging RIM
to give up an upgrade :) I will do that right now.

See where you get. I found it affordable - and the tech support is really
awesome to have, too.

I also like your idea about install BES on another cheapo box and
that is actually the case right now. The BES is install on a W2K Ad
server right now

Cool - so no real reason to change that, then!

and it talks to Exchange 5.5 via a connector. Do
you have any step by step (preferable a link) for me to follow and
configure this server to talk to SBS?

In 3.6, you're usually best off reinstalling it. Since there's nothing much
on this box, I'd probably uninstall BES, disjoin it from the old domain,
rejoin the SBS domain (I'm presuming you have a new AD domain?), and install
the Exchange management tools (and whatever SP level you're on) and then
BES -


Thanks,

helen

Hi guys,

I am working on migrating our 5.5 Exchange server onto a new
infrastructure altogether and this server will get consolidated onto
a SBS 2003 box with all the major network core services. I am
pretty much a newbie with BES installation but not totally put off
by this endeavor. I am just wondering if anyone had gone thru what
I am experiencing and have to find ways to get the BES 3.6
Enterprise Ed to work with SBS 2003 Std. We ONLY got 5 users on
the BES and hence the ease of this installation projects. If you
can give me some pointers, links, idea...I can pretty much go from
there.

Thanks,

Helen


BES isn't officially supported on it, as far as I know. I don't like
to do it. It's not supposed to be on your Exchange box...but on a
member server. You might consider a virtual server for it - or just
get a cheapo workstation, install W2000/2003 server, Exchange
management tools, and BES.

Re upgrading - talk to Blackberry support. I found that if I bought a
maintenance/support agreement from Blackberry, the upgrade to 4.0 was
included at no extra charge - and 4.0 is WAY better. No cradles,
ever!
