One of the only problems we ran into was with Blackberry. We were using Blackberry Professional Server 4.1.4 and it would not work with Exchange 2010. Our support was expiring, and we didn\u2019t really want to pay to renew. However, we still had a few Blackberry users, so what were we to do?<\/p>\n<p>Well, lucky for us Blackberry has released their <a href=\"http:\/\/na.blackberry.com\/eng\/services\/business\/server\/express\/\" >Blackberry Enterprise Server Express<\/a> for FREE! That is right! It is free baby! This version can run directly on top of Microsoft Exchange if you want and support up to 75 users. However, if you already have a dedicated server for BES like we do, you can support 2000+ users with it. Why the hell would you pay for their full version?<\/p>\n<p>We installed it, and it is working magically with our new Exchange 2010 server without issue. Setup was easy, and administration is very similar to the full version of Blackberry Enterprise. Another cool thing is you or your users don\u2019t need to fork over the additional cash for Enterprise data plans, any Internet enabled plans will work!
