Has anybody managed to get BES installed on an SBS 2008 server? I've read varying reports of success via the Professor.

If it is indeed impossible, can anybody suggest an alternative? The client has SBS 2008 Premium so we have a spare copy of Windows 2008 Standard (which is also going to have SQL Server installed if that should affect matters).

Trying to find any information on the BlackBerry knowledgebase is like trying to find a needle in a haystack :)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately BlackBerry's are a requirement :(

Windows 2008 is definitely supported (as per the RIM site) - but I've yet to find confirmation that SBS2008 works =/

Does anybody know if the BES software has to be installed directly on the domain controller? Or can it be installed on another server in the same network

BES can be installed anywhere, but as per the White papers CANNOT be installed alongside Outlook (MAPI stuff).

Did you follow a white paper install? The permissions on Exchange/AD can be confusing.

Nope only started looking at it the other day to be honest - any links for good docs? Will take another gander at the RIM KB.

Thanks for the info btw - you've taken a weight off my shoulders :)

So the plan now is to install BES on the extra Windows 2008 Standard installation, which will also run SQL Server for a custom app the client uses. According to RIM Windows 2008 is supported, so there's hope :D
