They let you have two SRPs at one time without paying? I know the
transporter tools were free.
We do have T support, but was told no multiple SRPs without buying
another server license or this migration option.

They don't really publicize it, but RIM has a migration plan you can
purchase. I think it costs $700, which I was willing to pay for the
comfort , peace of mind and convenience. It basically allows you to
have a second SRP ID and your new server and old server both connected
to the BB network for 90 days. With this and the free BES migration
tools, I simply setup my new server and moved users from the old
system to the new one at my leisure. No moving databases, knife edge
cut-overs or other silliness. The migration was easy, with no
downtime for users.
The only effect the migration had on users was each BB was restarted
remotely one time when I moved the specific user account.to the new
server.

Looking for any offers of advice or suggestions --
I will be upgrading our BES server from 4.1 to 5.0 in preparation for
our Exchange upgrade from 2003 to 2010. I have **no** experience with
BES so I need to familiarize myself with it first and go from there.
Lots to learn!
Just wondering if anyone is familiar with useful lists or forums? Is
the process straightforward or complex?
If there's anything at all that you'd be willing to share to get me
started, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
