\"\"<\/a>( Courteous\u00a0of\u00a0http:\/\/www.edutech.me.uk\/bes-express\/installing-bes-express-on-sbs2008-server\/<\/a>\u00a0) for future reference<\/p>\r\n

First of all we need to install the Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1 if these have not already been done. You can download these from:<\/p>\r\n

http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?FamilyID=E17E7F31-079A-43A9-BFF2-0A110307611E&displaylang=en<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Your Server must also have Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 2 and all Patches Installed.<\/p>\r\n

Once you have installed the above, you then need to Raise Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Domain and Forest Function Levels.<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n\t
  1. To do this launch \u201cActive Directory Users and Computers\u201d from the Administrative Tools<\/li>\r\n\t
  2. Right click your domain and choose \u2018Raise Domain Function Level\u2019<\/li>\r\n\t
  3. Choose Windows Server 2008 and click Raise, Accept and Ok and then Ok upon Success<\/li>\r\n\t
  4. Close MMC and then launch \u201cActive Directory Domains and Trusts\u201d from the Administrative Tools.<\/li>\r\n\t
  5. Right Click \u2018Active Directory Domains and Trusts\u2019 and select Raise Forest Function Level.<\/li>\r\n\t
  6. Choose Windows Server 2008 and click Raise, Accept and Okay and then Ok upon Success.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    \u00a0Next, we need to create a Windows account and mailbox to act as the Blackberry Enterprise Server Express Account<\/p>\r\n

      \r\n\t
    1. Open the Exchange Management Console<\/li>\r\n\t
    2. Select the Recipient Configuration Node, and then the Mailbox Note. Click on \u201cNew Mailbox\u201d on the right<\/li>\r\n\t
    3. Select \u201cUser Mailbox\u201d as the type and then click next, Create a Mailbox for \u201cNew User\u201d and click next<\/li>\r\n\t
    4. Fill in the usual fields First Name, Name, User Logon Name and give a strong password to the account (BESAdmin \u2013 Recommended Username) and then click next.<\/li>\r\n\t
    5. \u00a0Select the Mailbox Database you wish to add the account too, click on next and then new<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

      Once that process has been completed successfully, you then need to configure some settings within Exchange Server 2007 using the Exchange Management Shell<\/p>\r\n

        \r\n\t
      1. Launch the Exchange Management Shell<\/li>\r\n\t
      2. Type in the following PowerShell command to set ViewOnlyAdmin role for BESAdmin<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

        add-exchangeadministrator “BESAdmin” -role ViewOnlyAdmin<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

          \r\n\t
        1. Type in the following PowerShell command to assign the ms-Exch-Store-Admin, Receive As, and Send-As Permissions for BESAdmin<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

          get-mailboxserver “ContosoServer” | add-adpermission -user “BESAdmin” -accessrights ExtendedRight -extendedrights Receive-As, ms-Exch-Store-Admin, Send-As<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

          \u00a0Next we need to configure the server that will host the Blackberry Enterprise Server Express Software<\/p>\r\n

            \r\n\t
          1. Launch \u201cActive Directory users and Computers\u201d<\/li>\r\n\t
          2. Select the hive Builtin and double click \u2018Administrators\u2019<\/li>\r\n\t
          3. Choose the tab \u2018Members\u2019 and click on Add, Type \u2018BESAdmin\u2019 and click \u2018Check Names\u2019, Click Ok, Apply and then Ok<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
              \r\n\t
            1. Launch Group Policy Management<\/li>\r\n\t
            2. Right click \u2018Default Domain Controllers Policy\u2019 and then choose \u2018Edit\u2019<\/li>\r\n\t
            3. Choose Computer Configuration \u2013> Windows Settings \u2013> Security Settings \u2013> Local Policies \u2013> User Rights Assignment and double right click in the right pane \u2018Allow log on locally\u2019<\/li>\r\n\t
            4. Click \u2018Add User or Group\u2019 , Browse, Type \u2018BESAdmin\u2019 and click \u2018Check Names\u2019\u00a0 click on Ok, Apply and then Ok.<\/li>\r\n\t
            5. Scroll down and double click \u2018Log on as a Service\u2019<\/li>\r\n\t
            6. Check \u2018Define these policy settings\u2019 and click \u2018Add User or Group\u2019<\/li>\r\n\t
            7. Click Browse, type \u2018BESAdmin\u2019 and click \u2018Check Names\u2019 and then Click on Ok, Ok, Apply and then Ok<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

              Once you have completed these steps, we will then need to configure the Database Server and Run the BES Setup but before we can do that we need to get you on to the RIM website to Register and Download the Software and get all of the Licence\/CAL keys you will be required to enter later.<\/p>\r\n

              http:\/\/na.blackberry.com\/eng\/services\/business\/server\/express<\/a><\/p>\r\n

              NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0You need to now Logoff from the Server and logon with the BESAdmin account you created earlier, if you DO NOT do this then the whole thing will just fail and give you a headache!<\/p>\r\n

              Run the download, unzip the contents into a folder C:\\BESExpress and the setup will start automatically.<\/p>\r\n

              Make sure that on the prompt it states you are logged in with the BESAdmin account and the domain shown is correct.<\/p>\r\n

              Fill in the details asked for, Username\/Organisation\/Country and accept the Licence Agreement.<\/p>\r\n

              On the next screen choose \u2018Create a Blackberry Configuration Database\u2019 and click on next, choose the defaults and then click on next, go through the checklist and make sure you do not see any warnings. If you do then please correct the warnings by installing any components you may be missing. (If your server is up to date then this should be fine).<\/p>\r\n

              On SBS2008 there is already a SQL 2005 Instance, you can choose to install the database into the SBSMonitoring Instance but I would recommend that you create a dedicated instance, the BES Express software will look after all of that for you.<\/p>\r\n

              So, on the next screen choose \u201cInstall Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP3 on this Computer\u201d, and then click on next.<\/p>\r\n

              Fill in the Password and the name of your server and then click on next, make sure you type in this information correctly otherwise again you will have problems further down the line, review your settings and click Install.<\/p>\r\n

              Go and grab yourself a drink, and some lunch if it\u2019s that time already and when you return it should be prompting you to restart the server. After the server has restarted make sure you logon again with the BESAdmin account otherwise it won\u2019t continue the setup.<\/p>\r\n

              *NOTE it won\u2019t fail if you logon with Administrator by accident, just logoff and login as the right user.<\/p>\r\n

              Once you have logged back on to the server, the installation should pop back up for you on screen, leave the settings as they are on screen and select next.<\/p>\r\n

              Wait a couple of seconds and then you will be asked to create the BESMgmt Database, Choose Yes and then the database will be created, Click on Ok once you the Success Info Prompts.<\/p>\r\n

              On the next screen you will be asked to fill in the CAL Key, SRP Identifier and Authentication Key, Click on Verify on both SRP Host and SRP Authentication Information, upon success click next<\/p>\r\n

              On the next screen, fill in the name of your server and the mailbox field is the user you created earlier BESAdmin, Select \u2018Check Name\u2019 and then Apply and Ok<\/p>\r\n

              Next, type in a password for the SSL Certificate and click on next<\/p>\r\n

              On the next screen type in the account credentials to allow the Blackberry Administration Service to Authenticate users in Microsoft Active Directory, NOTE: DO NOT use the BESAdmin account here, Use the account you created upon Installation of the Server Operating System i.e. Administrator and then click Next.<\/p>\r\n

              On the next screen I chose to use a Non Active Directory Account to manage the Blackberry Accounts, So Select \u201cUse Blackberry Administration Services Authentication\u201d and type in a Secure Password, and then click next.<\/p>\r\n

              Nearly Finished, Click on \u201cStart Services\u201d on the next page and sit back and wait in suspense, click on next and then you should see the results come back as Successful.<\/p>\r\n

              Then make a Note\/Save the URL\u2019s and then click on Finish<\/p>\r\n

              Finally, configure the firewall on the Small Business Server to allow access to the Blackberry Administration Service and Web Desktop Manager. I personally chose to do this via Command Prompt but it can be doing using the GUI via Control Panel.<\/p>\r\n

                \r\n\t
              1. Launch Command Prompt (Start > Run > CMD > Enter)<\/li>\r\n\t
              2. Type\u00a0netsh firewall add portopening TCP 3443 “BESExpress Management Port”<\/strong>\u00a0and press Enter.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
