Installing BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express on a Small Business Server 2003 Premium (SBS 2003) is not as easy as it looks. The documentation from BlackBerry is not complete and difficult to understand. I have decided to write documentation with all screenshots for this installation. My customer has an excisting SBS 2003 Premium SP1 (not R2) so we will install a new SQL 2000 named instance and create a BES service account that will run the BES software.

This document assumes that you have downloaded the Black Berry Enterprise Express software from the BlackBerry website. Before we can install the BESExpress software there are several things we need to do on the SBS 2003 Server. Most import step is that we create a BES service account that will run the BlackBerry Enterprise server.

This document provides instructions for connecting a Macintosh running Mac OS X 10.4 to an SBS 2003 server. This document was prepared using Mac OS X 10.4.10, but should apply to any later updates to 10.4. The server used to develop these screen shots has an internal domain with a .lan suffix. These steps should work with any internal domain suffix, including .local. This document makes several assumptions:

The SBS server is a healthy setup and is configured according to best practices (DHCP running on the server, private IP address range on the internal network, etc.).

Daylight Saving Time

Official Microsoft Daylight Saving Time Help and Support Center: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst

Beginning in 2007, daylight saving time (DST) will be extended in the United States. DST will start on March 11, 2007, which is three weeks earlier than usual, and it will end on November 4, 2007, which is one week later than usual. This results in a new DST period that is four weeks longer than in previous years. Unless certain updates are applied to your computer, the time zone settings for your computer's system clock may be incorrect during this four-week period. In particular, you must make sure that both your Windows operating system and your calendar programs are updated.
