Installing BES 4.1. But I think I need to install Exchange system manager?

hi guys,

I'm having to rebuild an old BES server. Available to me is only a windows 2008 standard server. I began installing BES 4.1, but as I neared the end, some error regarding the MAPI comes up. Apparently I have to install the Exchange System Manager on this server?

However, the entire environment is on a MS Exchange 2000. Can I install the Exchange 2003 system manager on this BES and for it to work? Or will I have to install the Exchange 2000 system manager?

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks
Yashy

Thank you both.

You mean the MAPI client will work? Remember the environment is a Exchange 2000.

Not sure the MAPI CDO compoent will work with that version of BES. It would work with BES 5 (which you can get on a free upgrade at the moment).

It didn't work:(. I think I need to install the actual System Manager.

Okay, question: I need to download Exchange 2003 now. Can I download Exchange 2003 SP2 and for it to work? Or will I need the version prior to SP2?

Did you reboot after installation of CDO? When I get back I'll see if I can find my old bes 4 documentation but I think we just used the mapi client. Been a few years though. Here's a RIM doc on mapi for bes 4.1.

Thanks man. I'm going to post something new, as we had a massive problem just now because of the MAPI installation.
