Shame my Blackberry MOC didn't work during TechEd smackdown.

Greta tips Johann!

Do you have source for BES 4.1.6? I don't have access to RIM's technical knowledge center site.

Just deploy OCS 2007 which won't run with BES 4.1.4

Thanks

Hey, needing a BES server is a bit of a shame.

Is there no way the BB IM client can be configured to talk directly to the OCS edge server?

That is how it works with all other IM clients (PC, Windows Mobile, Nokia etc).

Hi Alec,

Unfortunately the OCS client for BlackBerry is actually written by RIM not Microsoft, so if there is a BES requirement this is something they have put in deliberately.

Other OCS clients (Communicator, web, mobile, Java/Nokia) only require an Edge server or CWA.
