In finalizing our Upgrade of Lotus Notes and Domino from ancient versions (4.6.5/4.6.7(int) and 5.0.7 for BES on the server level and 4.6.5/5.0.7 clients) to current versions (6.5.6FP1 on server and 7.0.2 client). I performed the BES install today to 4.1.4 from 2.2.6a. It worked like champ without a hitch.
the BES portion was as follows:
- old box: NT 4.0 / Domino 5.0.7 / BES 2.2.3a
- Rev'ed BES to 2.2.6a at RIM's suggestion.
- new box: W2K3 / Domino 5.0.7 / BES 2.2.6a
- Moved server identity (same name, etc) to the new box, shut down old one.
- Rev'ed Domino to 6.5.6. Applied FP1 for 6.5.6,
- Rev'ed BES to 4.1.4 from 2.2.6a.
- Plan next consolidate our 16 user BES onto one of the existing mail servers and decommission the dedicated BES box.
May rev to R7 on the Domino server if I see anything compelling enough at the moment.
