BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 SP3

As lots of you probably (noticed) last week RIM released it’s SP3 for BES 5.0. Good to know besides all other functionality, we now have Lync support in the box. There is now support for additional instant messaging servers.

The BlackBerry Enterprise Server is designed to support the following
instant messaging servers:

• Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007 R2
• Microsoft® Lync™ Server 2010

BTW: if you would like to see how Blackberry can be integrated with Microsoft Lync feel free to contact me. We are running SP3 since its official release. Really works great. www.e-office.com/lync Check out this site since we are working on a indepth blog on this.

Good to know also: (read also the official release notes)

BlackBerry Administration Service fixed issues: When you installed Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or Microsoft® Lync™ Server, and navigated to BlackBerry Solution topology > Component view > Collaboration, the BlackBerry Administration Service listed IBM® Lotus® Sametime® as the component name in the Instance information section. (DT 890401)

Setup application known issue: If you rerun a setup application, it will mistakenly show the BlackBerry Collaboration Service as installed if the following events occurred during the upgrade process:
• you select Microsoft® Lync™ Server 2010
• you click Next
• you go back to the Setup Options page to unselect the BlackBerry Collaboration Service Release Notes Setup application known issues
you complete the upgrade process without the BlackBerry Collaboration Service (DT 1039504)

Upgrade process known issues: If you installed the BlackBerry Collaboration Service with BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 SP2, when you upgrade to BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 SP3 and select Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or Microsoft® Lync™ Server as the instant messaging server, the port numbers do not display the default values (5061 for TLS or
5060 for TCP, and 65061 for the listening port). (DT 1000050)
Workaround: You must type the port numbers to specify the instant messaging settings

UCVUG goes to Office365 - maintenance

Since we started with the Unified Communications Virtual User Group in late 2009 we are at the point to migrate the entire UCVUG.nl site to Office365. Since a couple of days I’m a lucky participant in the Office365 Beta! This opportunity really drives me to migrate the UCVUG to Office365. Therefor the next (72 hours) we started to migrate our sources to the new platform. 

When all the relevant content is migrated we will give you a briefed message on how we continue and how we are facilitating the community in 2011. See you soon. There will also be a online form to schedule for the next UCVUG session Q2 (2011).

TechNet Live 2011

Door de drukke agenda’s heen gaan we toch weer iets gaafs doen. Op 27 April 2011 zal ik met mijn mede community collega’s de stands bezetten tijdens TechNet Live 2011.TechNet_Live 2011 is opgebouwd rond vijf thema’s: client, server, security, management en productivity. Internationale en Nederlandse topsprekers zoals John Craddock, Corey Hynes en Kenneth van Surksum verzorgen de sessies. Naast de interactieve sessies kunt je ook een power training volgen of vragen stellen in de ask-the-expert-area en veel meer. Wil je dus meer weten van Microsoft Lync loop dan zeker even langs de ATE-booth (Lync).

Aanrader: (link) sessie over Lync en Hoge Beschikbaarheid gepresenteerd door Jeroen Reijling. [Lync als volwassen communicatieplatform biedt u ook de mogelijkheid van telefonie. Wilt u weten hoe Lync ervoor zorgt dat telefonie altijd blijft werken? Kom dan naar deze sessie voor een technische deepdive en een realtime demo zien om bovenstaande te bewijzen.]

Aanrader: (link) sessie over Lync Overview and Deployment gepresenteerd door Steven van Houttum. [Lync Server 2010 delivers a lot of new functionality for both the end user and the administrator. In this session we will look at this new functionality, with special focus on the voice related changes. We will also look at architecture, administration, deployment and migration with some examples from organizations that have chosen for Lync as the one and only telephony solution]

Schrijf je nu nog in! (link) Heel veel plezier daar en feel free om me even aan te schieten.
