This appears to be out in public now. You should be able to purchase this from your favorite carrier. There is also a hotfix out to bundle 26 (current production release) available on blackberry.com's site.

How are folks getting along with this? I want to roll it out at our company, but I don't need a farked up Groupwise system in the process.

Our current BB users are forwarding to BWC now, and they tend to fill up their 10mb fairly often. This *has* got to be better, yes?

Though I have yet to actually use this version of BES - BES IS a MUCH MUCH better option then forwarding. One note re: he 10 meg mail box - most carriers will increase the size up to 100 megs if you call and complain.

Does anyone out there have the beta and/or release instruction books for Gwise BES?

Thanks

Its still not confirmed what operating systems RIM support Groupwise on. First we were told Netware, then Windows, then both -_- I'm assuming it will be both Netware 6.5 and Windows 2000 sp4/Windows Server 2003, both for Groupwise 6.5.

It does support netware and windows-based post offices. GW6.5 is required I think.

6.5.4 groupwise client and novell client is required on the BES server, but your production network can be 6.5.2 or higher I think.

We've been using it for about 4-5 months now, and I have been very pleased with its operation. We've had a couple of hangups in the beginning, being beta and all that, but it has been very stable over the last 2 months or so.

We've also tested with GroupWise running on Linux, and haven't seen any problems with that either.

The only real bug I still know of that is noticable is that global address book lookups are broken. Returns no matches everytime. But I have the SRP info on this and supposedly this will be fixed in the SP1 release shortly.

Great. We're running Groupwise 6.5.2 agents on Windows. I had read a reference that they were only going to do netware, but I am glad to read that windows/linux are working.

I'm a n00b in the blackberry world (but I just got a 7100g!) and i'll report back if we are going ahead with this.
