Anyone see a problem with the below plan?  The goal is to upgrade our BES 4.1 
system without compromising our existing passive BES4.1 failover server for any 
length of time.

Set up two VM's for BES 5.  One is the passive for high-availability.

Migrate users from BES4.1 physical server to active BES5 VM.

Wipe the BES4.1 machine and install BES5 from scratch.  Also wipe the other 
BES4.1 physical failover server

Disjoin the passive BES5 VM from the active BES5 VM.

Attach the active BES5 VM to the newly installed physical BES5 server.

Manually fail the users over from the active BES5 VM to the passive BES5 
physical server.

Disjoin the BES5 VM (now passive).  Attach the Active BES5 physical server to 
the newly installed BES5 physical passive server.
