No CALs required; seems like unlimited users, and only BIS data plan required.

The other thought was to even migrate from BES to BES Express, but I was pretty sure that there would be certain features unavailable to differentiate the two products. ________________________________ Ron Mendoza Windows Server Management Section Lead State of California From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of DOWER, BRIAN Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2010 9:31 AM To: A list for BES Admin's to discuss issues,etc. Subject: Re: [Bes-admins] BES vs BES Express Thanks for that, I hadn't noticed any other differences than you listed below. Items 1 and 3 aren't an issue for us here, unfortunately we already have a BES server so it doesn't look like we'll be able to use BES Express. I had wanted to keep the BES Server for our exec staff, etc and use BES Express for all the people who brought in their personal Blackberry's. Doesn't look like that's going to happen.

To be honest, the settings we use for password complexity and content protection are there, so I didn't notice what was missing/unavailable. * No MDS support? As far as I can tell, there is no MDS support which also includes accessing intranet via BlackBerry Browser. I also didn't see a way to disable the Internet Browser, thus forcing all web browsing through the corporate proxy/firewall (which we enforce), making BES Express a no-go for us. * No Instant Messaging support? Also as far as I can tell, there is no enterprise instant messaging integration. This is also a no-go for us as we integrate into our LCS environment. Did anyone else notice the same things or anything different? ________________________________ Ron Mendoza Windows Server Management Section Lead State of California ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email from the State of California is for the sole use of the intended recipient and may contain confidential and privileged information.
