Follow the instructions...I did, and all works fine.

you may have an issue here or there depending on your setup. i could send you a document i created with a summary of the site and some edits i found that worked for me (also some commands for BES and exchange2011) if you end up having issues.

Thanks that looks handy.

I have a few questions,

can i have mailbox roles, and stores etc all on the same server?

And im wanting to do all that in one go, so i can just transfer them across, and once completed AD will see the new srver as the mail host?

Also, once thats done, do i simply point the bes express server to the new mail server? (is that easy?)

stop the services on the BES server...migrate the BESAdmin account to the new server (exchange) and restart services (or reboot server), if all is properly configured, including firewall ports, etc, BES should work fine. Keep in mind to research all the commands you need to run for exchange 2010.

Brilliant, Getting tehre

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

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.

  • 3 weeks later...

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.

    • Just for anyone reading, AdGuard (the free, standalone MV3 extension) is quite good now, a direct competitor to uBlock Origin Lite and much more built-out than it.

    • Yeah, when I saw that, I wanted to find the nearest nose. You can't find a good nose these days when you need one.
    • Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5, a state-of-the-art AI model that beats OpenAI's GPT-5.5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in April, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview, a frontier model with state-of-the-art coding capabilities. Due to the cybersecurity implications that would occur due to the availability of such a powerful model, Anthropic made it available to only a select set of companies around the world. The company's plan was to prepare appropriate guardrails before releasing such a powerful model to everyone. Now, after nearly two months, Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5, its most capable AI model yet for general users. The company also announced Claude Mythos 5, the same underlying model as Fable 5, but with safeguards lifted, making it more suitable for selected cybersecurity and biology use cases. Claude Fable 5 sits a tier above its Opus models and it beats most other generally available models across areas including software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and long-running autonomous tasks. To prevent model misuse, when Claude Fable 5 detects certain requests related to cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, or model distillation, the request will be routed to the Claude Opus 4.8 model. Anthropic claims that these safeguards trigger in less than 5% of sessions on average. However, for large organizations working on critical software, Claude Mythos 5 can be availed through Project Glasswing. Later, Anthropic has plans to expand access through a broader trusted access program. As you can notice in the benchmarks above, Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are state-of-the-art on most key AI benchmarks and they are well ahead of OpenAI's frontier model, GPT-5.5. For example, Fable 5 is the new state-of-the-art model for vision tasks. Also, Mythos 5 has the strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model in the world. Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 are priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, which is less than half the price of Claude Mythos Preview. Another big change is that Anthropic is making a change to the way they handle business customer data for both Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. The company will now require 30-day retention for all traffic on both first- and third-party surfaces. Anthropic promises that it won't use the data to train Claude models, instead it will use it against complex and novel attacks. Claude Fable 5 is available today on the Claude API and consumption-based Enterprise plans. It is also included at no extra cost for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise customers from today through June 22. After that, users on those plans will need usage credits to continue using Fable 5, unless Anthropic extends the included access window based on capacity. Developers can access Fable 5 through the Claude API using the claude-fable-5 model name.
