Michael, I may well be running in what is officially an "unsupported" environment, but they didn't refuse to help me, and we were able to resolve the issues I was having. I am not able to use AD to login the the BES management interface, as far as I know that is the only thing that doesn't work. I am running 5.0.1 MR2(bundle 117). That is running on a R2 HyperV VM and tied to an E2k7 server environment. Again, if I had it to do over again I'd probably install 4.x for now.
