Blackberry administrator client 5.0 to acccess a BES 4.1.6 server  

Notesboy  July 16 2009 11:12:30 AM


Here is a very baffling situation for which I am not getting a straight solution.

Scenario:
 
The environment is one huge Lotus Domino domino containing Lotus Domino 6.5.x, 7.x and 8.5 servers.We currently have 4 bes servers running version 4.1.x and working great. Now we need to set up  a new bes server for another division whose users will be housed on these 8.5 domino server. We have the  license to install BES 5.0.  and want to install BES 5 but using a different SQL database from the other servers.

Problem/Question:
  1. I was informed that if I install BES 5.0 in this environment described above, then I would not be able to access any of the bes 4.1.x servers from the bes 5.0 administration client. Is this true?
  2. The other issue that was mentioned was that if I used the blackberry admin client 5.0 to access my bes 4.1.x servers it will automatically initiate a upgrade of the besmgmt database that the 4.1.x servers use. Now I do not even see how this can happen as the client does not have the capacity to make db design upgrades, it only reads/modifies the tables/data. any advice?
  3. Any other gotchas/advice/experience that anyone has to share with me. (I did read this post on TurtleWeb )
