moving from Exchange 5.5 to 2003 and blackberry server |
|
|
I have a single Exchange 5.5 server and shortly I will be moving to Exchange
2003. Presently we have a blackberry server also. I'm not overly familiar
with blackberry stuff and I was wondering what would be the best way to get
the blackberry server working with the Exchange 2003 server. Presently, the
blackberry server is running on a Windows 2000 Server sp4. I have a Windows
2003 Server that I would like to move the blackberry server to, but I don't
want to cause much interuption to the blackberry users. Can I just move the
blackberry database from one installation of blackberry server to another?
Or do you just install the blackberry server for 2003 over top of the
blackberry server 5.5 stuff like an upgrade. It's hard finding good
documentation on this process. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I agree that it's difficult finding complete documentation on the process.
I just did this exact move recently. We upgraded from BES 2.1 to BES 3.6 in
the process. I believe BES 4.0 is out now. I have some notes at work.
I'll take a look on Monday and give you the process. FWIW, it was no big
deal. The cool thing is that all of the information required to migrate is
contained in the Administrator profile in Exchange.

I have just done this a couple of weekends ago.
1. Give the Besadmin account permission on Exchange 2003 - -you will need to
delegate ‘View Only Administrator’ permissions to BESADMIN at the
Administrative Group level. Also Assign BESADMIN ‘Administer Information
Store’, ‘Send As’ and ‘Receive As’ permissions to the Exchange Server
security properties in addition to those already inherited from the
Administrative Group level for all servers hosting user accounts destined to
be BlackBerry users.
2.

3. Stop the blackberry services and move all the blackberry users mailboxes.
4. Start blackberry services.
If you want to move the blackberry to other server you have to install BES
on the new server using the same settings as the original server e.g
• Windows service account
• Microsoft Exchange mailbox
• MAPI Profile name
• SRP Identifier
• SRP Authentication Key
• BlackBerry Enterprise Server name
Then before you start up the services on the new server, stop the blackberry
services on the original one (if both server are running the services
together you account at RIM will be locked out). If you are using Windows
2003 you have to download MSDE from Microsoft web site.
Hope this help and sorry about the earlier post I accidently hit the enter
key. |
