Hi Lanwench,
I have one other question with regarding installing BES 3.6 on another
server. I am planning to install the BES server on a Windows 2000 Adv
server. Would I have to make this server a backup domain controller
in order to get BES to recognize the users in the domain?
Nope - it can (and should) be a member server.
You do need the Exchange 2003 management tools on the box, though - and
there's something you have to do with the mapi32.dll in BES3.x as I recall
(copy it from your SBS/E2003 box?) Check the documentation/BB site for more
help....
Thanks,
Helen

Hi Lanwench,
I called Blackberry.com today and the result is better than what
I've expected. The cost of buying the tech support is $597 / year
plus FREE upgrade to v.BES 4.1. On top of that, there is no issue
in working with SBS
2003 if I were to install it on another W2K box.
Just thought you might be interested to know the results.
Great....enjoy!
Helen

Thank you Lanwench. As far as the begging with Blackberry, I
don't think I will go too far. I don't think we have a support
agreement with them.
No - what I'm suggesting is, you *buy* one from Blackberry (and
get the included upgrade).
We purchased the software via a reseller and the reseller
said we have to pay for the upgrade.
Yes, if you did a regular upgrade. However, I personally think
it's worth having BB support anyway.
But I will am going to take
your work and try calling Blackberry anyway to see what they say.
Best o' luck - heed the above.

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,

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!
