I am interested in moving to 5.0, however, I still see there is nothing on the migration path for Small Business users. Has anyone heard anything? Tsupport looks like it has even been changed so buying a $400 dollar contract wouldn't even be a possible way to upgrade to 5.0

I had a storm for about 1 year so BB isn't "entirely" new to me. However I have never attempted to or even messed around with anything on the BES side. We have 2 guys running berries now and I just hooked them up through BIS on OWA. Works easy enough but now with about 25 guys about to get a unit, I would want something better if I went with BB.

WinMo would be easy enough for me because we are running SBS2003 with exchange. Mobile access is already enabled. All it would take would be some tinkering with settings and I can just hand these guys WinMo handsets.

How hard is the learning curve for BES. We would get the BES Professional Software to install on a server as opposed to the larger enterprise physical server. This is where another issue lies for me. I have to fight tooth and nail to keep a decent amount of space on our production server. My budget is low and cant do an entire overhaul right now. So I wouldnt want to install BES on the production.

I have a spare server running 2000 but don't know if that would work. I could buy a cheap new box to through it on but don't know what BES needs. Would I have to have to pay for server 2k7 just to run BES on it? How would I configure it to hook up with our Exchange 2k3 box?

Basically Im not sure what I would need besides the BES software (and CAL's) of course. How hard was it for you guys that just needed to get it done? ]]> BlackBerry Administrators trd2turbo http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=368624 http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=368496&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:35:31 GMT Just wanted to drop a note for any Admins that haven't messed around with the built in HA, its definitely worth looking at.

Not an Admin, but though you guys might be able to crack this problem I posted elsewhere:

OK, so my law school uses an exchange server for email. Since the webmail interface sucks (and is only useful in IE), and I refuse to run a VPN so I can use Outlook at home, I set up an auto-forwarding rule for all emails to get forwarded to my Gmail account.

I set up my Gmail account on my 9700 using BIS and the Enhanced Gmail Plugin.

The catch: Emails forwarded from my school exchange account to my gmail account aren't making it to my berry.

Any guesses? ]]> BlackBerry Administrators marker580 http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=368321 http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=367580&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:26:16 GMT Hi...I would like to allow blackberry users in my organization to access to the intranet However, I have no idea where to start and what should I...

Can't figure it out - it's been driving me nuts for the last couple hours (and I REALLY don't have hours to spend on these annoyances!).

I replaced one of my sales guys' Tours with an FRU replacement due to trackball issues. Straight DM backup, ESN switch, then restore. Then re-activated on BES (4.1.x). Activation took normal time, everything looked good. The phone seems to be receiving e-mails (it will alert and "add 1" to the unread count). But, they are NOT visible in Messages. I can open old e-mails from the restore, "get more", download attachments from those previous e-mails, start new e-mails using lookup to the GAL .... but the new e-mails don't show in the inbox. No filters or current searches.

I have...
- Battery Pull (duh)
- Resent service books
- Second round of Enterprise Activation
- Checked settings, filters, etc.
- Communication from BES (on BES) looks fine
- Resend IT Policy
- Double-checked PIN and MEID information w/Verizon and BES

Anyone ever experience this? Am I missing something stupid?

I won one of the Blackbook apps in last weeks contest. I inadvertently downloaded the app without using the free code. I ended up paying for it on my credit card. So if someone wants to use my code for a free app they can do so. By the way you guys run the best blackberry website in the business.

Our company merged with another one and the BES is in one office on a 192.168.1.x scheme. The other office is 192.168.10..x

Our networks are merged and we've got that all settled. Now, they want to take the BES and put it in the other office.

My question is...can the IP of the BES just be changed? Will that effect anything within the BlackBerry software? I'm thinking it won't.

Second question is about hard drive space. The BlackBerry software is installed on the C partition and I'm running out of space. I have a D partition with plenty of room but am wondering if there are any folders I can move over to D without messing things up. I've thought about re-partitioning the drive too but I'd have to buy software for that.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Within the past week we have migrated them to a new server being run to our company and another Admin has set up a BES server that we are going to be using ourselves.

I understand that these phones will need to have a security wipe in order to be able to activate them on the new BES server that will be run by our company.

These folks don't want to lose any of their personal settings, SMS messages, themes, etc.

I've been reading some things on the web and saw about doing selective restores on backups?

What is the easiest way for me to do a backup on these phones with the Desktop Manager (I downloaded 5 from the BB website) and what can I safely restore from the backups so that I don't prevent the new enterprise activation from going through?

Up to mid last week I had no problem having e-mail delivered to my handheld by setting up new mail account as work account using exchange and owa.

Last week I think they upgraded the mail server and now every three hours I get message that my password has expired. I go in and revalidate account and it validates fine but after hour or so the mail server starts blocking my request to retrieve new mail. At least that what the techs at BB told me was happening.

Is like it blocks me from grabbing new mail after an hour off revaildation but continues to allows me to ,using the work account, to send new mail and/or delete mail from hand held and outlook mailbox until the maxuim number of attempts are reach requiring revalidation of account.

Is there a sitting they could have turned on that would stop me from grabbing new mail via exchange and owa? If so why would it allow me to validate account and send new and delete old message but not grab new messages? If I'm blocked shouldn't I be blocked from all activity? ]]> BlackBerry Administrators idoacctg http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=364347
