Definitely not Exchange 2007. You will get stuck at teh “Configure Exchange 2007 SP1 to use RPC over HTTP/S step if you use 2007 so don’t even try. Shame, I would love to get this to work.

Looks like Exchange 2003 to me, not Exchange 2007, can you please provide the settings for Exchange 2007

Thanks,

just a note to Actung, you said:

“Try wiping data off a stolen or lost iphone remotely. With Activesync you can send a wipe command but the user has to approve it and the person in pocession of the phone continues to enjoy all the data from the last sync.”

This is not accurate. Sending a wipe and clear from exchange to the iPhone does not require the user to “approve” it. The command is executed without user intervention and completely wipes the phone data and takes it to a restore state that requires the unit to be reconnected to iTunes to reinstall the base software on the unit. ALL USER DATA IS DELETED.

You can download the Blackberry Professional Server, it is free and the only requirement is a valid PIN and your phone needs BES data plan (not BIS). Each additional license will cost $95 each, with a limit of 30 (then you need to purchase the Blackbeery Enterprise Server) If you properly follow the detailed installtion instructions and get the permissions correct it works fine. I work for a technology company and setup Blackberry servers, Good Link servers (for Treos), Exchange servers (integrating iPhones with ActiveSync) and they all work well and have their plus and minus. The RIM rep information is correct for the plugin, but our customers don’t blink twice at spending $2999. The SMB accounts usually just use the free download. One issue with Blackberry is support isn’t good at all and the software can break with some Microsoft updates. I like the iPhone 2.0, works well.

You can not just purchase 1 license and have it work with the free-trial snap on. I spoke with them directly. RIM said I had to purchase “BlackBerry Enterprise Server Software v4.1, Service Pack 6 for Microsoft Exchange
Includes 1 user license” which cost $2,999 USD.

As for the Wipe aspect, change the persons password and contacts/calendar are wiped. The only thing left behind is emails. That is a downside i’ll give you that. But not worth the $2,999 IMHO.

Bottom line true OTA exchange account support with Blackberry Snap on for Exchange with cost you about $2,999 for 1 user

-Your info is not accurate. BES is available for free then you purchase $100 CALs per blackberry. Any blackberry PIN will allow to download your FREE copy. You cannot even compare and contrast BES’s power over Activesync. Try doing exchange migrations with Windows\Iphones in the picture. Try wiping data off a stolen or lost iphone remotely. With Activesync you can send a wipe command but the user has to approve it and the person in pocession of the phone continues to enjoy all the data from the last sync.
