How many of you plan on loading SP5 immediately in a Production environment?

[alex555550]

Hy,

if they release the full install on the e-shop site, I`ll gona do it. But till yet it´s not there. 4.1.4 was there even 1 week before the puplic release.

I plan on loading it immediately in test ... I dunno about you but I really would wait a least a week (if not a month) after its RTM before installing any service pack (unless there is an acknowledged fix to a problem you're having).

Same here. It will go immediately in to test, and then eventually into Prod.

That's what I said to myself, but just shrugged it off.

That said; why upgrade to SP5? What does it give you with your current HH OS?

That's why I want SP5 to come out before OS 4.5. I'd like to have time to install it in Test, use it in test and finally install in Prod BEFORE OS 4.5 comes out.

I'm not going to put it on right away, 4.1.5 doesn't support Notes 8.0.1, so I'm waiting for the next point release to upgrade.

[cschrage]

I am planning on putting it on my Test/DR box.

Got a spanking new VM instance just waiting to be loaded with SP5 .. after I beat it up a couple weeks it will be put into production.

I'm itching for the monitoring service more then SP5 .. been waiting for what seems like over a year!

I'm interested in the new monitoring features. I'll probably install it later next week.

Huh? When did RIM have a good monitoring platform?

NEEDTEXT was not realy bad( ), only a bit slow.

[ts937km]

I am still running Needtext. They gave me a permanent eval key . Was getting ready to buy it when RIM bought the company. So I can't wait to implement it. I am probably going to roll it into our production Exchange pilot. So I will let you know.

Needtext was horrible and RIM had to remove a lot of inaccurate and otherwise worthless counters from the product. SNMP is not the way to go for reporting, accuracy, etc. As hdawg mentioned, prepare to be underwhelmed if you're actually used to monitoring applications; if you have had no involvement with any type of monitoring and do not know what to look for, then it might suit your fancy. Regardless, it's poo (but better than nothing, especially for those on a tight budget).

We're < 200 users, so I don't need anything special. I'm using BES Alerts right now, but it's only useful for BES <-> Exchange connectivity.
