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
What version of 4.1? You'll need to upgrade to 4.1.7 first (DB changes) then 5.
How many users?

My advice, if you don't have to, don't do both upgrades at the same time.
We did. didn't have any big issues with upgrade/installations, but it's a
lot to take in for a busy production environment. you won't know till you
in the middle of it what issues the exchange upgrade will present,
especia
down time.

Interesting...
Could the new server be 2003 as opposed to 2008?

RIM support told me I could run it on R2, but only with the most recent update.

Do you have a link? I called two weeks ago, and was told that R2 support
wouldn't be coming until 5.0 sp2.
Thanks.

What about an in-place upgrade? I've read about this in the Upgrade
documentation. Has anyone tried this?

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

You can run it on 2003 just fine but going forward do you want to keep setting
up 2003 servers knowing EOS is not that many years off?

I too was given a 90 day temporary SRP. All I did was ask. It only came with
5 CALS and would not allow me to transfer my "NON-temp" CAL's to it.
