That KB is how to do it in Exchange 2007 as it is different then previous versions
2. Update the MAPI profiles - **Only edit these if you have moved the BESAdmin mailbox to the new Exchange Server**
- Log into the BES as the BESAdmin
- Go into the Registry
- Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cur rentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles
- Backup the Profiles registry key
- You should see 2 profiles, BlackBerry Manager and BlackBerry Server
- Delete just those 2 profiles
- Close the Registry
- Open the BlackBerry Server Configuration
- Click the BlackBerry Server tab
- Click the Edit MAPI profile button
- Ensure that the BESAdmin account is listed and the new Exchange, if not correct both fields and click Check Name. It should come back highlighted and underlined
- Now open the BlackBerry Manager and you will get a dialog box that the profile doesn't exist. Click Ok and you get the same box to edit the name and Exchange server. Edit both if need be and click Check Name
3. Update MAPI32.dll - Only needs to be updated if you are running Exchange 2007 only. In a mixed environment, say Exchange 2003 and 2007, leave the 2003 Exchange System Management tools installed. When you de-commission the old Exchange server and are running only Exchange 2007 follow these steps.
- If you have the Exchange 2000/2003 System Management tools installed uninstall them. Follow this KB to get the right version of MAPI and CDO from Microsoft:
