Moving a Blackberry 4.x server running on Domino that uses the MSSQL Desktop Edition Engine

Ok guys, This post is far too long to put in a blog, so I have created the first PDF draft of instructions on how to move BES running on Domino.  This is a DRAFT and I would appreciate feedback and comments to make it more comprehensive and better, for the greater good.  I was of two minds to blog this or not, but after talking with Kevin and Warren, thought I would give it a go.  There are a few ways to skin this cat, and this is just one of them.  Please, if I have left anything out, just let me know and I will add it in, with attribution.

Objective:

Move the BES to a new Domino server, without affecting users (except for downtime of the move of course). This is the same “Domino” server, but you have moved it to new OS/hardware etc.

    Hey Paul I’ll be in touch. I will be moving from BES 2.2 to BES 4.1.1 this week and my objectives are the same, it is critical we have no downtime as we have lots off oncall staff. I’ll make sure I document it all and compare to your PDF.

    Good work son :o)

    Hey Daave – my suggestion is to move it first (as its just notes databases in 2.2) and then upgrade… Mail me if you want help on that
