I agree on the size of your environment. We are running BES 4.1.6 with 50 users and are not using full blown SQL. We have 1 virtual machine running BES and SQL express without issue. I am preparing to upgrade to BES 5.0 (exchange) and think after the upgrade that I will split SQL off to another box for growth's sake.
Currently our messages and all performance of the server are very quick (almost instantaneous for email messages to the handheld) ____________________________________________ Dan Mathews Systems Administrator Duncan Solutions, Inc.

If you were running the full blown BES with numerous users it would benefit you, but being your 30 users and under it doesn't provide much of a benefit and as Art stated it could be what's causing the bottleneck.

I just automatically assumed that SQL2005 would be better or more capable on a server for BPS.
