Create a Microsoft Exchange 2007 account and mailbox

Before you begin:
  • You must configure Microsoft® Exchange 2007 to support versions of Microsoft® Outlook® earlier than 2007 by creating the public folder database. For more information about supporting earlier versions of Microsoft Outlook, visit http://support.microsoft.com to read article 555851 and visit http://technet.microsoft.com to read articles 123694, 124270, 397221, and 691120.
  • You must be an administrator with permission to create accounts.
  1. On the computer that hosts Microsoft Exchange, log in using an administrator account that has the correct permission to create accounts.
  2. Open the Microsoft Exchange Management Console.
  3. Create a Microsoft Exchange account that you name BESAdmin.
  4. To allow the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to check if a user has permissions to a public folder, assign this account the Owner permission to all public folders.
After you finish:
  • Verify that users have Read and Visible permissions to public folders.
  • To permit checks for meeting invitee availability for BlackBerry® Device Software version 4.5 or later, configure the Schedule+ free and busy information for the system public folder. For more information, visit http://technet.microsoft.com to read articles 629523 and 691129.
