when you say migrate the BESADMIN account, do you just mean the permissions basically?
ta

No, I mean that there should be a "BesAdmin" mailbox on your system, and that needs to be migrated from the old exchange server to the new one, just like any other mailbox. While this account is being migrated, i would either shut down the BES server or stop all of its servers. And the commands from BES for exchange 2010 are permissions basically, they are all just shell commands and cant really be configured via the gui anymore like you did on exchange 2003.

Thanks,
Thats great, ive got 2003 -> 2010 interop working great now,
i want to migrate my mailbox over to the new server to test, but i have a blackberry....
So is there a way of making the besadmin accuont available to both servers?
Thanks

you just need to follow through with the besadmin install for the 2010 server. make sure you use the same account info (don't create a second account). besadmin (because it is a domain user) will detect what exchange server the user is going to and connect accordingly...just setup the 2010 server as specified in the docs and you will be fine.
