Domino 2 Exchange

[AshleyF2]

Hi,

I currently have about 30 users on BlackBerry 4.1 connected to a Lotus Domino server. I am in the progress of replacing the Domino server with Exchange Server 2010 using Quest migration tools.

Exchange Server 2010 is up and running and I have prepared a separate Windows Server 2008 R2 server for installing BES 5.0.2 on. I have a new CAL ID & key and a new SRP ID & key. This is the first time I’m working with BES, so I have a few questions on how to proceed.

My idea is to just install BES 5.0.2 on the new server using the new CAL & SRP info. (I’m using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Microsoft Exchange Installation and Configuration Guide 5.0.2 for guidance). Then reset the mobile devices and reconfigure them to use the new BES server.

As I’m new to this, I have no idea if this scenario is possible.

Some concerns I have are:
* Is this scenario possible?
* Is there another (better) scenario I should consider?
* Will the two BES servers conflict with each other?
* Are there any networking/firewall concerns I should be aware of?

Any comments, insights, tips and/or suggestions are most welcome!

Regards,

Ashley.

The scenario you have descibed is the right way to do things. You will have to wipe and reactivate all the handsets after you have moved the Domino mail file data into the users exchange mailbox.

The two BES servers will not conflict as long as they are not using the same SRP and auth keys.

The new server will need to talk to RIM on port 3101. If your in the UK then it needs to be able to talk too srp.uk.blackberry.net

Make sure you set the throttling policy correctly on the exchange 2010 server, and adjust the address book limit. These are covered in the install guide.
