Hi All,

I hope it is ok to post a thread about BPSE here as I don't see where else I can post it.

I am having an issue installing BPSE as I get to warning/errors under the Preinstallation checklist:

1. Prerequisite Component Installation Information area - Exchange Server is not detected. A newer version of mapi32.dll may need to be installed. I removed and reinstalled the MDAC already to see if this would fix it.
2. Exchange Server Permissions area - The setup application could not verify the Microsoft Exchange permissions for the Microsoft Windows account. Before you continue, verify that the permissions are correct. I am following the procedure under the Getting Started Guide Blackberry Professional Software Version 4.1 SP4

I am running the install on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SE R2 virtual device on VMWare.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

YOu need to install Exchange system manager to get the MAPI32 and cdo files for BES to be able to communicate to Exchange.

Try this: besadmin - How To - Install ESM

Hi Ashworth,

Thanks for your reply, but I failed to state that I am running Exchange 2007.

MS just released a new version of the MAPI CDO download.

you could put this on the BES and it should let you get pass that screen:

Download details: Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1

I'll give it a try...thanks!

Hey Ashworth,

Same thing...could it be that I am running it on a virtual device? I'm thinking of just running it native on the server instead. I only created it on a virtual device because I was going to run BES on it, but choose to do BPSE instead since I only have one user.

Keep it on a seperate VM or dedicated Box.
It will be easier in the long run if you have to go full BES.

Ok, I went back through my setup to see if I missed a step. I'm following the Getting Started Guide Blackberry Professional Software Version 4.1 SP4 guide from RIM's site. The only thing I did different was that on page 20 it states to go to the Microsoft Exchange Server and go to Active Directory Users and Computers. I can't because I don't have this installed on my Exchange Server. Stupid question, but don't I make my Exchange Server also a DC if I add that feature?
