If you mean running your Exchange server and BES server on the same piece of physical hardware, I do not believe that is supported by RIM, nor will it likely ever be supported. If you simply mean running ESM 2003 SP2 on the BES, and Exchange 2003 SP2 for your mail environment (on separate hardware), then it is supported.

I had ESM 2003 SP2 on my BES 4.0.3 and RIM said they were pulling back support for it. They did originally, but suggested moving the ESM down to SP1. I did this in a round of troubleshooting some MAPI issues. Although that in particular did not fix my problem, I have noticed a small performance increase since making this change. Not sure if it has anything to do with it, but my BES seems to run better with ESM SP1 versus SP2.

Go read over the release notes and decide what's best for your BES. If you are experiencing issues and they were addressed in this released, then yes. If not, then no.

considering no service pack has added any additional functionality to the BES, aside from Policy updates that enabled various items such as BT connectivity, i'd think its a safe bet to say that this update did not add any new 'features' (although it may have updated some policies).

What is involved in applying this service pack? Do I just run the application the same as a hot fix? Or, do I have to shut down all services, back up the DB and then do the update?

You can just run it. It will stop your services and you get the option to create an update of your DB.

Anyone had to reboot their server (not just BES services...the server)?

I know it always says a server reboot may be required, and I'm sure SP4 says that too. But I think only 1 BES 4.0 HF has actually required this in our environment.

New SP for BES....in the words of Homer Simpson "ooooohhhhhhhh"

As for running BES on the Exchange box, surely a techie rule of thumb says you don't run multiple mission critical apps on the same box - that's just asking for trouble and if you're box goes bang, you know it'll happen at 6pm on a Friday!!!

Quick heads up... There seems to be issues with SP4 and Exchange 5.5 mailboxes. I'd advise anyone to hang back on installing it in your environment if you are running 5.5.

<edit> There are definitely issues. Do not install it on 5.5 environments...

reboot the server, even if it prompts or not. one thing it does, upon reboot (that it doesn't during a services-restart, is update the database with the correct version of BES. this goes for hotfixes and service packs. i've had many times when i didn't reboot and it would either show the previous version or it'd show 4.0.0.0 for the version - might just be cosmetic, but may as well go ahead and take the extra few minutes just to be on the safe side.

my car manual tells me i only have to get an oil change once a year or every 10,000 miles - the dealership says that the manufacturer is simply trying to promote low cost maintenance rather than realistic upkeep (then again, the dealership may just want the money they'd lose out on otherwise - who knows).

OT, but Consumer Reports has long advised that oil changes more often than the mfrs recommendation are a waste of money. And if you use synthetic oil, you can go a very long time between oil changes.

If we had a dedicated BES server I'd follow your advice about always rebooting after install. Since we don't, I guess I can schedule an automatic reboot the night after the install. But it's nice to know up front if it actually REQUIRES a reboot, because then I'd know I need to do the update after hours.

Wonder why they can't stamp the new BES version on the database during setup? That seems odd. And if they can't, and BES services startup doesn't do it either...what in the world does? MSDE startup? Very odd.

Personally, I like to reboot any server once before and once after applying a Service Pack... Typically when I do that with the BES, it doesn't ask me to reboot after applying the SP, but I like to anyway.

And when I was talking about support for Exchange 2003 SP2, I was refering to upgrading the ESM on the BES server to Exchange 2003 SP2. Prior to BES 4.0 SP4, we were to remain at Exchange 2003 SP1. Outlook 2003 SP2 and Exchange 2003 SP2 (or SP1 with a couple of the hotfixes) introduced a whole bunch of different behaviour with Calendaring functionality, which is why you see soooooo many calendaring type fixes in SP4.

We've been running on SP4 since sunday, native Exchange 2003 SP 2 environment, and haven't had any issues or complaints or problems. Plus our BES Alerts are finally working again...

Oh, and we have 460+ BES users, nice sample base....

Default Extra lazy admin here

We are running BES 4.0 SP3 Hotfix 4.

Does anyone know how the list of fixes from the Release Notes relate to the fixes released with previous service packs and hotfixes? I assume the list is a cumulative list of all the fixes from 4.0 original release.

I assume I could print out the release notes for 3 other service packs and then the hotfixes and then cross reference them with the list from this service pack, but... who wants to do that??

the release notes only list fixes since the previous service pack. if you were on 4.0.0.0, then you'd want to view the fixes for SP1-SP4, but if you are on SP3, then view these only. it is likely (although i haven't verified) that the fixes in HF1-HF4 for SP3 are included in the documentation.
