Hi Knottyrope,

Appreciate if you can clarify below points:

As I am having a separate new setup, I had planned to install BES 5.0.3 on new server with same service account and connect it to OLD Database after restoring it on new sql server. Will it have any impact on existing users or they will function normally ??

Suppose If I do not create new service account on Exchange 2010, then what user migration process should I follow as I want to install new server with same service account and upgrade database which is restored on new sql server when prompted during installation? As in this way, I need not use BB Transporter and as soon as I connect to the existing DB, all users should function normally. Hence, I will start moving users randomly from 2003 to 2010. In this process, I assume that the BB users will work normally both on 2003 and 2010 during the migration process. Finally, in the end I will move the bb service account and make xxx8220;Edit mapixxx8221; profile. Please correct me If I am thinking otherwise.


Some of my previous questions still waiting for your feedback:

The document which you mentioned i.e. KB22601 , does not mention whether we should first move the service account mailbox to 2010 or the BB user mailboxes.

Also, it is not very clear whether both 2003 and 2010 users will work simultaneously. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Also, could you please confirm if task 4 ( throttling policy ) and task 6 ( Increase the maximum number of connections to the Address Book service ) are compulsory to apply.


Thanks a lot !!!
