From: John on 9 Mar 2010 13:48 Exchange Server 2003 SP2 running on 32-bit Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2, both with the latest patches installed. The server has 4GB of RAM installed. I've never used a Blackberry phone so I'm wondering what I need (hardware/software) to be able to access Exchange mailbox with a Blackberry phone. There will be 1 or 2 Blackberry user(s) to support. At the moment, OWA (over https) is already accessible over the internet. I'm using ISA 2006 to publish OWA. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

From: John on 9 Mar 2010 16:27 Thanks. I've signed up for the software but haven't received the download link yet. I suppose blackberry phones can't use ActiveSync or OWA to connect to Exchange mailbox, right? Is it a good idea to install BES on the same (Exchange) server or is it better to install it on a dedicated server?

If they did ActiveSync RIM would be out of business in eight minutes. BES on a dedicated server but the freebie is apparently ok on the Exchange box. Personally I'd virtualize the lot to maintain logical separation. |
