Hello,

We have 5 AD sites and one domain (domain.local), in 1 AD site we have Exchange 2010 (@site1.com) and BES 5.0.3,  we are going to install Exchange 2010 (@site2.com) to AD site 2 and install BES 5.0.3 on this site.

BES on AD site 2 should working with Exchange 2010 on site 2 (@site2.com).

Can I use existing BESadmin account to create and manage BES on site 2 for Exchange on site 2?

How many standalone BES servers can been installed in one domain (domain.local)?

You did not answer my questions so it is hard to answer.

if all server are in one geographical location then use the same BESAdmin account.

if not then make a new account for that location and make sure it resides on the mail store.

this is so if your main mail server goes down it will not affect your remote one.

Sorry, I missed your questions.

Are your AD sites in a diff geological location? - yes it is. That I should create new account (let say BESadmin2) on the new Exchange Server on site 2

running all BES on same database? - all BES servers stand alone servers and running dedicated SQL express from BES installation package.

with separate databases then yes do make a second BESAdmin account for that location would be wise.

Thank you for your answer and one more question.

We have following configuration with another customer, Exchange 2007 and BES 4.1.7 and we are going to migrate them to Exchange 2010 and BES 5.0.3 express. I am going to use Transporter to migrate blackberry users accounts to the new BES Server. All servers are located in one data center and as I understand I do not need to create additional BESadmin account?

Please criticize my steps:

1) Create new BES 5.0.3 server and pointed it to new Exchange 2010

2) Install Transporter on BES 5.0.3

3) Move blackberry accounts to the new BES 5.0.3 server (mailboxes still on old Exchange 2007)

4) Move mailboxes to the new Exchange 2010 server

5) Move BESAdmin mail account from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010

Thank you

[MarioTunes]

Correct me if I am wrong.

When we install BES 5 with BESAdmin account on 2007 mail store still, the MAPI profile should be pointed to 2007?

1)Then I should move everyone over to BES 5

2)Then move mailboxes one by one

when I should move BESadmin account to the new BES and mailbox to the Exchange 2010 mail store ?

Thank you
