Preparing to upgrade from BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version 3.5.2 and earlier

You can upgrade from either BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version 3.5.2 or Version 2.1.5. When you upgrade from these versions, you migrate the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and user configuration information from Microsoft Exchange administrative extensions to the BlackBerry Server Management console. Prepare for this upgrade by migrating Microsoft Exchange administrative extensions, cleaning up the data, and creating backups before upgrading the BlackBerry Configuration Database.

If you want wireless synchronization to occur automatically after the upgrade process completes, you must also instruct users to synchronize their BlackBerry device capabilities before you upgrade the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. See “Synchronize BlackBerry device capabilities” on page 33 for more information.
