So if you are using the full version then you will need to use a separate machine. BES runs great in a VM, which is how I have deployed it for the last couple of years for clients.

We currently have 6 Blackberry users, 5 sales & 1 VP. I would be installing the Blackberry Enterprise Server Express on my Exchange 2003 box. It has a single 2.8 processor with 4 gig of memory, serving 65 mailboxes. I believe this would be enough horse power to also run the Blackberry ESE applications. I'm not sure what to do about the SQL 2005 requirement. Use SQL 2005 Express, on the Exchange box, or our SQL 2005 SP3 box that houses our MS Great Plains Dynamics application. Any suggestions are welcome.
