BESx 5.0.1 on SBS 2008 (SBS2003 Migration)

[Damatrix02]

Hello everyone,

After doing some extensive research on migrating from SBS 2003 to SBS 2008, I've come to the blackberry portion of it.

OLD SERVER:
-SQL 2005 with Management Express(db backed up)
-EXCHANGE 2003
-BESx 5.0.1

NEW SERVER
-SQL 2005 with Management Express(db restored)
-EXCHANGE 2007
-BESx 5.0.1

I can login to both SQL's old one is still running for the meantime, I just need one answer to something because I dont want to mess up the server. Even though I point the new BESx installation to the new database with cloned tables in it. BESx still insists on installing SQL 2008 Native Client? I have no idea why it wants to do that since I already have a 2005 instance with its required database in it.

Since its an SBS install, it uses the SQL 2005 for monitoring purposes. I would hate to install SQL 2008 overtop and have my system unstable in a month because the O/S cant access its database.

Please help.
