Here's a link to Blackberry's page on BES and Exchange:<br />
<a href="http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/server/exchange/" rel="ugc">http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/server/exchange/</a><br />
I know in the past Blackberry recommended BES and Exchange be installed on two separate servers.<br />
<br />
Given the small number of Blackberry devices you expect, you may want to consider a hosted Blackberry Server:<br />

Can someone tell me if this is possible? I have a Windows 2003 server with Exchange 2003 set up only to handle calendar and contact sharing. &nbsp;Email is handled via POP3. I would like to install Blackberry Enterprise Server to manage about 10 Blackberry devices. Will the BES work in this configuration, or do I have to remove the POP3 accounts and handle email through Exchange.

Blackberry Enterprise Server

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
