What CDO.DLL file am I supposed to use on my Blackberry server?

On my Exchange Server, I have a CDO.DLL in the following locations:

C:\EXCHSVR 5.5\cdo.dll (version 5.5.1960.6)

C:\WINNT\system32\cdo.dll (version 5.5.2658.10)

Which one am I supposed to use? The one in the Exchsvr folder is older than the one in the system32 folder.

I am trying to get this data because I noticed my BES has NO cdo.dll in the exchsvr\bin directory which is weird and is probably the reason my calendars won't synchronize properly.

The cdo.dll in system 32 is version 5.5.2658.10, how do I register this on the BES server? I just put it in the folder or do I need to do something else for the server to "see" it?

Basically you use the newest version of cdo.dll that you can find on any of your exchange servers.

From what you've said below put version 5.5.2658.10 in to system32 on the BES and then run 'regsvr32 cdo.dll' from the run line.

Restart BlackBerry controller service.

So I put it in the system32 and not the exchsvr/bin folder as the directions say?

It can be in either folder, system32 or Exchsrvr\bin. It doesn't matter, just restart the dispatcher service after registering the file so the BES will know.

I upgraded the CDO.DLL on my BES to the one our Exch 2003 server is using and also installed the Exch 2003 system manager tools.

Reconciliation and calendar sync is working again!

While our "service account" is still in the Exchange 5.5 environment, can I upgrade to 4.1 or do I have to put the service email account in our 2003 environment first?

Best to put the service account to 2003 first then upgrade.

Should moving that service mailbox from 5.5 to 2003 affect anything? I can't imagine it would but I'm sure the experts know more than I do!

Nah, as long as you have configured permissions on the 2003 Exchange server you'll be fine. If something does happen you can always create a new account and switch the BES.

Here's a KB for the permissions needed for the account:

When the account is moved just update the MAPI profiles to point to the new Exchange Server. Follow these steps:

1. Move the mailbox and configure permissions
2. Open the registry
3. Go to HKEY_Current_Users\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\
4. Backup and delete the BlackBerry Server and BlackBerry Manager(BES 4.1 and up) profiles
5. Open the BlackBerry Server Configuration utility
6. Click the BlackBerry Server tab
7. Click Edit MAPI profile
8. Enter the Exchange Server name and mailbox then click Check Name
9. Reopen the BlackBerry Manager and click Ok to create the profile again (BES 4.1 and up only)

This should get up you upand running on the Exchange 2003 server.
