Exchange 2007 - Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) Setup

Here are a couple things I had to do to get the Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) running with Exchange 2007. This stuff wasn't clear in the install guide. Especially number 1 below.

1. Give the BESAdmin account permission on my exchange databases. I had to do it on all of our databases. Here's the command for Database07

add-adpermission -user BESAdmin –identity “Database07” -accessrights GenericRead, GenericWrite -extendedrights Send-As, Receive-As, ms-Exch-Store-Admin

2. Give the BESAdmin account extended rights

Add-ADPermission -Identity "BESAdmin" -User "BESAdmin" -AccessRights GenericRead,GenericWrite,ExtendedRight -extendedrights Send-As,Receive-As,Receive-As,ms-Exch-Store-Admin

3. Add the BESAdmin to the Exchange View Only Administrators Group in Active Directory.
