Re: Blackberry and SBS setup

Thank you for the suggestion, he wants more ;)

He wants the full synchorization so contacts and calendar entrie all get
sync'd up. I ended up un-installing BES and re-installed. Got it working
although I inititally couldn't activate the corporate email with the pin.
It kept saying activating but nothing happened. All of a sudden I think
after a day or so, it activated no problem!

This is a good experience for me to work with BES anyway so I don't mind it.
He also understands I'm new to this so in case I screw it up, he will not be
"too" upset ;)

In his Outlook setup, he's downloading another POP3 account into his
Exchange Inbox. Any mail that goes directly to the Exchange account appears
instant on the Blackberry, but the other mail that shows up in his Inbox, it
takes a while. I know it takes time for the client to update the server,
but sometimes it takes up to half an hour or more?

I'm also not seeing updates if say he deletes an email from the BB, it
doesn't update Exchange Inbox for long time. Do I need to do something else
on the BB, or the BES setup to make the changes reflected immediately?

Somehow, I know calendar entries are updating instant I think. But Inbox
takes forever. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your boss wants blackberry working... impress him by getting it working
then play around with BES ( for one user I wouldn't bother)

You have already been given one option and another is create a contact in
Exchange with his blackberry email. His user account in Exchange get this
forwarding to the contact email address.

In his blackberry settings (handheld or web account) set up reply from
blackberry to be office email.

Ok, I have BES installed on VMWare, I was screwing around and I ended up
deleting the user and now I can't add any user. The software tells me 1
license is used, but I've deleted the user, how can I claim that free
user back?

Thanks.

One more thing, may be depending on provider. In the process of pointing
the
blackbery service in your boss' account to your server, make sure it is
in
the form; https://mail.yourdomain.com . Different providers may require
different formats.

Thanx.

Thank you, I'll give it a try. Would it be okay to run the BES setup
on a
VMWare?

RIM supplies a 15-user limit BES for free and it comes with one
license.
It installs fine on an SBS 2003 server and I have done two installs
so
far.

Okay, looks like the BB Desktop software will only synchorize when
connected via USB/Bluetooth. So instant email will still need to be
forwarded. Wasn't there some kind of BB personal BES server for demo
or
for single user? I might be able to give that a try?

Thanks again.

Hi,

My boss got a Blackberry while everyone else has WMP5, gotta be
different! Anyway, if my boss leaves his desktop on all the time
with
Outlook opens, does it mean with the BB desktop software, it can
synchorize the Blackberry over the data network just like if I had
installed BSE server?

I can do forwarding but I'm sure he won't like that.

I don't have any exposures with BB so I'm not sure exactly how to
set it
up properly. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
