RE: BESX
Any machine with the BES Manager for 4.1 or with access to the BESAdmin page 5.0 can activate, with BES Enterprise you can also allow user access to the web desktop manager to do their activation themselves. -Original Message- From: Glen Johnson [mailto:gjohn...@vhcc.edu] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2010 11:00 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: BESX Question for you BESX experts. When you run the server virtual, ie, no USB ports, can you activate a handheld by connecting it to my workstation, accessing the besadmin web page from that workstation or does the handheld have to be connected via USB to the server.

RE: BESx?
Express is free other than tariff costs to have a Blackberry. Regarding where to install it, my understanding is you can install it on the Exchange box for less than 75 users, but it's recommended to use a dedicated box regardless (apparently reboot the BES is quite a commonly proffered solution to problems but that's anecdotal).

RE: BESx?
The case for Blackberries over Iphone/Droid/WM currently is pretty straight forward. 1.Security on the phone is hardened. Its tried/trued. 2. Management. There is nothing you cannot control about a Blackberry from the tools. Droid, Iphone, WM, you have some semblance but not even close to a Blackberry 3. Activation. Its easy. Ensure your provider has it provisioned. They receive it, create the account on the BES box, give them a password or send it to their email through the tools and walk them through it. Done. Very hands off. Send one to the other side of the world and a monkey can activate it. 4. If you need to access files/folders or web sites on the same network as the BES server without complicating VPN's etc. They can do it all from the phone. Web access is built right in, files/folders takes some config work on the BES box. 5. Wipe and ensure your data is gone. Cant guarantee that with any of the other phones. If it gets the kill, it's a brick.. 6. Downsides. Management..Server resources..Another app to babysit, when it breaks..It breaks big..in my experience. 7. Free software, no cals required, free installation support, optional tech support contract, does 90% of what you want to do. Big Daddy BES does things with MDS, apps, tracking of SMS messages, compliance things mostly etc..Things most of our SMB's don't deal with. Saying all that we have 8 clients on BESx moved from SMB edition or Professional. Very little issues overall. Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.comhttp://www.acts360.com/ P.O.

RE: BESX Blackberry Enterprise express
Having got my hands on the software - it is for Exchange only. Fully supported with Exchange 2003, 2007 and 2010. Fully supported installed on the same server as Exchange - which includes SBS 2003 and 2008. Fully 64 bit. Although there is an issue with MP3 audio files when the server is installed on Windows 2008. It looks like for fully functionality you have to install it on Windows 2003. That is a bit poor from RIM. The lack of the over the air sync applies to BIS based clients only. If you have the Enterprise plan on the device then you can over the air activate as normal. You can also activate it through the Blackberry Admin Service. The major limitation is the security policies - full BES gives you something like 400, you get 35 on Express. The documentation is here: http://docs.blackberry.com/en/admin/subcategories/?userType=2category=BlackBerry+Enterprise+Server+Express+for+Microsoft+Exchange It includes the full config and admin guide, plus an Excel spread sheet of the policies available. Very early days, I am working on an installation at the moment, and will probably blog on it later in the week. However I have heard from Howie at port3101.org that he has a number of BIS only devices working fine.

I read that it does not do OTA activations which is definitely a negative but it's free and you can use it with just a plain old data plan (no BES plan needed) which seems like a major plus.

RE: BESX Blackberry Enterprise express
It appears to not be qualified on Server 2008 R2. sigh Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Simon Butler [mailto:si...@sembee.co.uk] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2010 6:49 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: BESX Blackberry Enterprise express Having got my hands on the software - it is for Exchange only. Fully supported with Exchange 2003, 2007 and 2010. Fully supported installed on the same server as Exchange - which includes SBS 2003 and 2008. Fully 64 bit. Although there is an issue with MP3 audio files when the server is installed on Windows 2008. It looks like for fully functionality you have to install it on Windows 2003. That is a bit poor from RIM. The lack of the over the air sync applies to BIS based clients only. If you have the Enterprise plan on the device then you can over the air activate as normal. You can also activate it through the Blackberry Admin Service. The major limitation is the security policies - full BES gives you something like 400, you get 35 on Express. The documentation is here: http://docs.blackberry.com/en/admin/subcategories/?userType=2category=BlackBerry+Enterprise+Server+Express+for+Microsoft+Exchange It includes the full config and admin guide, plus an Excel spread sheet of the policies available. Very early days, I am working on an installation at the moment, and will probably blog on it later in the week.
