Hello All.

I am building a Blackberry Professional Server for our office. I am stuck and need some help badly.

Here is the breakdown.

Our office environment is Exchange 2000 SP3. Yes, I know its old, thats not my battle. I am the phone guy.

My Blackberry Professional Server a separate system running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise. I have installed the Exchange 2000 System Manager tools from our Exchange 2000 disk. I got the message about Exchange 2000 not being supported on Server 2003 that many others have mentioned is not an issue. I have all the ports opened. Installation is in progress. SRP has been validated. Now getting " Unable to find Exchange Server MAPI component".

I read a lot about the Service pack versions needing to be the same between the blackberry server and the exchange server. I downloaded and intstalled Exchange 2000 Service pack 3 on the Blackberry server. Still getting the same error.

From my reading, I know this has something to do with the MAPI dll file and CDO dll files between the Blackberry server and the Exchange server, but I have not found a clear solution that I understand.

This is all new to me and I really need some help. Any direction is appreciated.

Thanks

remove the Exchange 2000 management tools ( i dont think, they are installed anyway).
download
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

install these and try again.

i think the .dll files you mention must all be the same version on the exchange servers and the BPS. back them up on your BPS and copy the ones from exchange.

never versions should work also.

I removed the Ex 2000 tools and installed the stuff from the link you sent.

No change. Still getting the MAPI error like before.

I see others have mentioned copy the DLLs from the exchange 2000 server and put them on on the Blackberry server. Is this just a simple copy paste. Some things have mentioned "registering them". Im still lost.

you can try that also. (but, make restart after installing new versions).
If you copy the cdo.dll and the mapi32.dll in a directory where a path points to (windows system32 directory for example), it should be enough to open a cmd prompt and register the dlls with:
regsvr32 xyz.dll

also, search the complete disk for possible duplicates of other versions of these dlls and delete them.

Does Outlook need to be installed on the Blackberry Professional Server?

[nobody7290]

You should try to omit that - and, if its installed, remove it clean all traces of outlook mapi dlls. Everybody says its not allowed (I had running outlook 2000 running without problems, but never tried a different version).
