RIM has indeed pulled it down from their website, and there are several good reasons why. We installed it on both of our BES boxes (upgraded from 4.1.4 MR1) and do I ever wish I could roll back. The installation on one server failed altogether, which is apparently a known bug. I've had several C level users reporting appointments being randomly re-sent from the past, some of which other users generated originally. Handhelds randomly lose the ability for the user to delete messages from the handheld, so I have to wipe from BES and wipe the device then re-provision to fix that. In short its a nightmare, so do yourself a favor and wait until the next version is out. If you want some interesting reading, here's a link RIM sent me highlighting issues in 4.1.6 and advising to not use it in production. Hmm.
Go read KB16451 updated on 11/21 and you'll see what I mean.
We're using GroupWise 7.0.3 HP1 in SOAP mode now, we were using OAPI mode and thought (initially) that might be causing issues but so much for that.
Hope this post saves someone some time and potential issues.
