I don't see this as a viable "test" solution though...because you have to modify your production BES database. What I have done is to create a second database for 4.1 and dropped the users off of the 4.0 server and added them to the 4.1 without clearing the exchange info and statistics. This still requires the devices to be provisioned on the new server but it still retains much of the preferences and settings for the user.

Well, that is exactly what i thought about this. But still it's a major issue for us because all the users are VIP's and asking them for re-activating the devices will not have very warm welcome.
I think that still only option is to build server, upgrade SQL and have it that way. Then later on upgrade the 4.0 one.
Anyway, thanks for the response.
