Multiple Exchange 2007 servers with BES
 

Good Afternoon,

I have been searching all over for information on this and have come up with nothing...

I have just built out a new Exchange 2007 Mailbox/CAS role server and I need to connect the users on it to my BES.

Currently I have my MAPI Profile pointed to my "old" Exchange 2007 Server, which contains some of my BES users.

The problem comes in when I try to add a user from the "new" Exchange 2007 Server to the BES. It pulls the user from the GAL, but then when I try to configure folders for redirection I get error:
"Failed to retrieve folder redirection settings for the selected user. Please ensure that the MAPI Profile you used to login to Exchange has sufficient provledges..."

I have ensured that my BES Service account is granted Send As permissions to this user already.

My only thought is that since the MAPI Profile for BES is pointing at the "old" server, it can not properly connect to the "new" server.

I am running BlackBerry Manager 4.1.4.17

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Moved to a more appropriate section.

Turns out after doing some further research that multiple Exchange Servers running in the same domain do not need any new configuration.

The only thing I had to do was add the correct BES privileges to the new Exchange 2007 Server:

You need to run the following shell command on all of your Exchange 2007 servers:

get-mailboxserver <mail_server_name> | add-adpermission -user <service account> -accessrights GenericRead, GenericWrite -extendedrights Send-As, Receive-As, ms-Exch-Store-Admin

e.g. Server 1

get-mailboxserver bbforumsex01| add-adpermission -user BESadmin -accessrights GenericRead, GenericWrite -extendedrights Send-As, Receive-As, ms-Exch-Store-Admin

e.g. Server 2

get-mailboxserver bbforumsex02 | add-adpermission -user BESadmin -accessrights GenericRead, GenericWrite -extendedrights Send-As, Receive-As, ms-Exch-Store-Admin
