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:
- 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?
- 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?
- Any other gotchas/advice/experience that anyone has to share with me. (I did read this post on TurtleWeb )

As I see it you don't have an issue. If you are using BES 5 against a NEW besmgmt DB then there is no issue. Just manage BES 5 with the new web UI (terrible as it is) and manage the BES 4.1.x with BlackBerry Manager.
While RIM has stated that BES >=4.1.5 (at WES 08 I think) can be managed via BAS 5.0 web UI, I'd be surprised if this would work with a non-updated database and this is probably a manual database upgrade.
