Blackberry Enterprise Server Express 5 on SBS 2008

Migrating from BPS4.x to BESx5 does not have a 'migration path'. However, you can install the two servers side by side on the same site.

However, ensure you create a new BESAdmin account for the new server, which will mitigate any issues you might have.

Another usefull addition is the Blackberry Enterprise Transporter. While not specifically listed for this scenario, it appears to work wonderfully.

The upshot is the users moved from the old to the new and never noticed.

The Transporter can be found here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/server_resourcekit.jsp

The reference post I found this on:
