Setting up blackberries to connect to Exchange
Hi all, My bosses in their infinite wisdom have decided to give our roaming supervisors Blackberry Curve 8330 phones. They have already received them. However, I wasn't notified until today that they are expecting to receive their e-mail using them. I've checked on Sprint's website (useless) and Microsoft's website and could find information about if there's a problem but not how to do an initial set-up. My question is, is there anything I need to do to our Exchange server to allow this? If so, could someone point me to a step by step to do it. Exchange 2k3, fully patched on an SBS 2k3 server sp2 TIA BJ No trees were killed in the sending of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~

Do some looking on blackberry.com for enterprise software. Your bosses might be disappointed to know that they will need to pay again... My question is, is there anything I need to do to our Exchange server to allow this? If so, could someone point me to a step by step to do it. mapi.dll versions need to be synced between the two servers and a besadmin user with the send as rights to blackberry users needs setting up. As you might imagine, there's quite a bit more detail, but googling for how to setup bes or similar should find some hits. Also check out pinstack.com and blackberryforums. ~JasonG -- ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~
Re: Setting up blackberries to connect to Exchange
Do you have a Blackberry server? Look into Blackberry Internet Services (BIS) to pull their Exchange email via IMAP.

RE: Setting up blackberries to connect to Exchange
You have a few options. Ill post them in order of preference. Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES). This is the best method as it allows full wireless sync of everything. Email, calendar, contacts, tasks, etc. You need to buy this and set it up. Blackberry Internet Service (BIS): This is a web based portal that you can setup accounts on. It then polls your mailbox every 15 minutes for new mail. Point it to your OWA URL and it should work. This only sync's your email. No calendar, contacts, tasks. To sync those you use the desktop client. Other options are POP3 or Desktop Redirector. Both blow.

We got a call from a user in Amsterdam, 'I just bought a Blackberry'... 'Take it back and get a Smart Phone, we don't support it' was the response. Without a BES there is no point to getting Blackberries, even if they are a good Canadian company ;-) 2008/7/14 Sherry Abercrombie [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Well done Bob, ditto On 7/14/08, Bob Fronk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The best way is to install a Blackberry Enterprise Server. However, it sounds like you probably don't have the licenses for that. If you have your Exchange server setup for OWA, you can go to the BIS website of your cell provider and setup an account for each user and then add their email accounts. However, this will not work as well as BES. Calendars will not sync and the email does not sync as well in my experience. http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/internet/email.jsp#tab_tab_email_setup Really. you need BES to properly manage Blackberries in an enterprise environment.

They have already received them. However, I wasn't notified until today that they are expecting to receive their e-mail using them. I've checked on Sprint's website (useless) and Microsoft's website and could find information about if there's a problem but not how to do an initial set-up. My question is, is there anything I need to do to our Exchange server to allow this? If so, could someone point me to a step by step to do it. Exchange 2k3, fully patched on an SBS 2k3 server sp2 TIA BJ No trees were killed in the sending of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. -- Sherry Abercrombie Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
