We are running it on Hyper-V. There are some settings that you need to make on Exchange 2010 that effect performance. They will be corected in SP1 for Exchange 2010 which I should be installing next this weekend. The users will need to make sure thier data plan includes BES option. Most of the $29 data plans don't. I am talking with RIM and the cell compais to see if the BES Express could run with the lower data plan. Spirt website says BES Express should run on all thier data plans but I can't get it to work.

I just noticed that you can run up to 2000 users if you install it on a separate server or maybe more if you are willing to run on multiple servers.

Subject: [MSUNAG] BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (FREE)
Just an FYI to everyone that BES Express is free and supports up to 75 users. Below is the blurb from the RIM site and a link to the software.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/business/server/express/
Runs on the Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Small Business Server
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is certified for up to 75 BlackBerry smartphone users to be installed and run on the same server that runs Microsoft® Exchange 2003 SP2, 2007 SP1, 2010 or Windows® Small Business Server 2003 and 2008. This eliminates the
need to purchase additional hardware. If you require greater than 75 users, BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express has the flexibility to be installed on a separate server, supporting up to 2,000 BlackBerry smartphone users per server.
