Since the launch of GroupWise 8 I have been receiving a number of
questions from customers about support from RIM for their BES.
Prior to
launching GroupWise 8 Novell were early adopters of the latest Beta BES
versions from RIM. We have multiple BES servers running, both in our
cutting edge development system, as well as our main corporate system.
We do this to make sure that we iron out issues before they get to our
customers.
So where does that leave support? RIM recently updated their support matrix, available here:
In short, GroupWise 8 is supported as long as the BES server is
running the latest GroupWise 7 client. RIM are currently in the process
of validating the GroupWise 8 client for use on the BES server - but
customers who have already upgraded their agents, or are planning to,
can be assured that they are not running an unsupported configuration.
