Two BES Accounts, One BlackBerry

WorldIRC · Thread Author #1 12-12-2009, 09:43 PM

Hey Guys,
I know the easy answer is no, but I understand there is some sort of workaround to make it partially work.

Here is what I need:

BES 1 - Push Email, OTA Calendar, OTA Contacts

BES 2 - Push Email, GAL Lookup

Right now, I am using NotifySync + Native BES to do this, but of course, if I could use Native BES on the Berry for both, this would be much preferred.

I have already given BES 1 (which is currently activated as "native" on my BlackBerry) a customized name.

What is next to accomplish my goal...if it's possible!?

The best you are going to get is BES for account 1, with push email, OTA sync and GAL lookup and BIS integration with account 2 either via POP,IMAP or OWA

It is important to note that the first enterprise activation is the master in terms of IT policy.

If you have a mix of Exchange and Notes (like me) then you will need to have two workstations to do the activations (one for Notes and one with Outlook).

My setup is one Device with my employers BES as the master. Then I have my own personal BES server that runs with Exchange.

Both email/address/calendars sync for both BES servers just as expected. Tasks/Notes come from BES1 only.

Very nice setup but not supported and many BES admins will tell you it's impossible to have a single device on two BES but it isn't.
