yes it failed for me when I first tried it, I didn't set the BES up originally so it was a bit all over the place. Despite the fact we are max 25 users the original configuration had the EU db on a SQL server box, whereas now I believe in just chucking MSDE on the BES and leaving it there. Our rollback was severe - format the HD, re-install w2K3s add to domain, patch etc etc, then re-install 3.6 and the SP's and manually re-add the users. Bit of a pain but as I only had 10 users and it wasn't (then) mission critical, I could get away with it.
8 months later we went for it again, and as the installation was much cleaner it went like a dream. I'd backup everything first (especially EU dbase) and if you have the tools to take a server snapshot that might be a good idea in-case you need to rollback.
cheers
