Browse All TopicsWe have a client that is using Blackberry Professional Server on a Windows SBS 2003 server that we are about to remove and replace with a new server.
Blackberry has not yet released an updated version of Blackberry Professional Server for Windows 2008, so I am thinking about installing the Blackberry server software on their other server - a Windows Storage Server 2003.
Question - Do you know if you can install Blackberry Professional Server on Windows Storage Server? We have not had a program yet that would not install on Storage Server, but I do not want to order licenses for Windows 2008 Server and then learn that I cannot install BB on the storage server.
Sure, I could always run Server 2003 on the new server, but I hate to install older software on a new server even though it will be fine.
Also, please remember that BB Server requires SQL MSDE or SQL 2005 Express.

I see nothing in the MS WSS2003 FAQ or the Wikipedia entry that would indicate BPS will not run. I think you should be fine. The Blackberry pre-sales people can answer that definitively for you though, their corp sales line is 888-746-5831.
