I have 5 users (directors) that have Blackberry devices and they have asked me to setup the Blackberry Enterprise Server so they can use thier devices with our 2007 Exchange server.
I have downloaded the "Blackberry Enterprise Server Express v.4.1.3.16" and have installed this ona server running Windows 2003 Server. The server is also a domain controller.
BES has been installed and all the tests have been carried out to make sure everything is connecting and working. the BESADMIN account seems to have all the correct permissions set and the IEMSTEST seems to confirm this, the results were as follows:
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Utility - IEMSTest.exe (IExchangeManageStore), Version 1.0

I have tried adding a user, and the status of the user sits at INITIALIZING. I tried connecting a device directly to the server via USB and then allocating this device to the user I added. The device says it is being PROVISIONED but that is as far as it ever gets.
I am very new to Blackberry technology and am completely lost now.......
A couple of things I thought to ask:
1. Does the phone/device need to be setup with the operator (T-Mobile, O2, Orange) to work with the BES
2. How does the Device know where to connect to, the server is connected to some external location on port 3101 at srp.uk.blackberry.net
3.I have installed the MAPI subsytem but get an error now that says it is not available..... Is there a service for this I can stop and start?
All help greatly appreciated.
