BlackBerry® Professional Software and BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express

Background

I have an Windows 2003 SBS with Exchange 2003 SP2 and I am installing BES on it's own seperate server.

My understanding on MAPI and CDO versions are that you need to have the same version as is running on your Exchange or a higher version. For Example Exchange 2000 SP3 needs ESM 2000 SP3 or ESM 2003 or higher.

Question In my case I don't want to install ESM 2003 on my BES hardware and was wondering if anyone knows if I can install the MAPI and CDO 1.2.1 pack on the BES.

Thanks James

It'll work, but it isn't the recommended implementation. That said, I've done it and have had no problems ... but I'm generally a fan of matching MAPI/CDO dlls whenever possible.

It might have to do in this case as I don't have access to a Exchange CD to install the ESM

Thanks for the help
