Exchange 2010 and Blackberry
in [Microsoft Exchange]
|
From: skymax_taf on 3 Mar 2010 12:04 We have a client that is running Exchange 2003 with a Blackberry Enterprise Server. We are going to upgrade the client to Exchange 2010. Before proceeding, I was wondering if there were any issues running Exchange 2010 with a Blackberry Enterprise Server. I was also wondering (hoping) that the functions the Blackberry Enterprise Server perform now had been incorporated into this new version of Exchange. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Assuming you run the correct release of BES you shouln't have any major problems. >I was also wondering (hoping) that the functions the Blackberry Enterprise Server perform now had been incorporated into this new version of Exchange. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. You mean "ActiveSync"? --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

I know you can use ActiveSync with OWA to connect a Blackberry to Exchange. What I was wondering (hoping) was the function the Blackberry Enterprise Server performs had been incorporated into Exchange 2010. The client would still need to get an Enterprise License from their service provider to allow mail, contacts, appointments to be sent to their phone wirelessly. No connection to OWA, Blackberry software of any type would be required. I was asked this question by the client who was hoping to remove Blackberry Enterprise Server from their server. I told them I did not think so but not knowing for sure would ask.

You can configure the Blackbery to use OWA, but that's not ActiveSync, it's Blackberry's BIS. >What I was wondering (hoping) was the function the Blackberry Enterprise Server performs had been incorporated into Exchange 2010. Yes. It's ActiveSync. >The client would still need to get an Enterprise License from their service provider to allow mail, contacts, appointments to be sent to their phone wirelessly. No connection to OWA, Blackberry software of any type would be required. Look to 3rd-party products like AstraSync and NotifySync. >I was asked this question by the client who was hoping to remove Blackberry Enterprise Server from their server. I told them I did not think so but not knowing for sure would ask. Give up the BB and move to a Windows Mobile device (or any other device whose OEM has licensed ActiveSync). --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
