The following are requirements for a BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express components that you install on a single computer that uses Microsoft Exchange. The requirements are for a BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express environment that includes users that receive 100 to 200 email messages each day. You can improve the performance and reliability of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express by installing the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express components on multiple computers. If you install all BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express components on the same computer as the messaging server, it is a best practice to support up to 75 users only on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express. If you want to support more than 75 users on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express, it is a best practice to install the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express components on computers that are separate from the computer that hosts the messaging server. If your BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express environment supports up to 1000 users, install the BlackBerry Configuration Database on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express. If your BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express environment supports up to 2000 users, install the BlackBerry Configuration Database and the BlackBerry Administration Service on computers that are separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express.

Unsupported environments
Item DMZ Description The BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express and BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express components, with the exception of the BlackBerry Router, do not support installation in a DMZ. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express and BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express components do not support installation on computers that host email applications. Email applications use data files that can cause conflicts with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express components. As a result, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express components might not function as expected. If the BlackBerry Attachment Service is hosted on Windows Server 2008, the BlackBerry Attachment Service does not support .mp3 audio files on BlackBerry devices, and the BlackBerry Attachment Service does not support any audio file formats on BlackBerry 7100 Series devices that support CDMA networks. You must host the BlackBerry Attachment Service on Windows Server 2003 if you want the BlackBerry Attachment Service to support .mp3 audio files on devices and all audio formats on BlackBerry 7100 Series devices that support CDMA networks. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express does not support upgrades or migration from the following products: BlackBerry Enterprise Server versions 5.x, 4.x, 3.x, or 2.x BlackBerry Professional Software version 4.1.4
