Actually, the Transporter tool does work with BESx with SP2.... are you doing anything more than adding your users to BES and having their Exchange data sync? Maybe some minor Policy changes? If not, then BESx will work fine... and for HA, since the BESx licenses are free, as long as your db is on a separate SQL box, you could fairly easily have a second BESx server up and running and move the users if the first box failed - a manual process for sure, but not too tedious a job...

thanks you guys
Depending on how you are using your current BES server as far as policies go you may not see any difference. We moved from BES to BESx and didn't see any difference. We don't use any of the specialized polices because we are such a small shop.
