Setting Up BIS with Windows Small Business Server
March 18, 2009
If you are using BIS and have Small Business Exchange but have no web access to email then here is a way to get emails to your device.
First, create a BlackBerry email address using the online control panel that your mobile network provides. The good thing about a BB email address is that emails are received within seconds.
Then follow the instructions below to get emails forwarded to that email address.
STEP 1 ADD A CONTACT
Goto Start
All Programs
Administrative Tools
Active Directory Users & Computers
From the tool bar select Action
New
Contact
Enter Contact Name ( just enter the name as per exchange and add blackberry on the end ie johnsmithblackberry)
Click Next
Next to “email box” click modify
Select smtp address then click ok
Enter Blackberry email address and click apply then ok
Click Next
Click Finish
STEP 2 Forward exchange emails to blackberry address
On Desktop Select Server Management
Select Users
Double click the user whose emails you want to
foward to the blackberry
Once Users properties opens select the exchange general tab
Select delivery options
Halfway down you should see forwarding address
Click on Forward To
Then on Modify
Enter first 3 letters from contact name from step 1 then click check names
The contact name should appear
Select the contact name and ok
Tick the “Deliver messages to both forwarding address and mailbox” tick box
Click ok
Click Apply
Click ok
Job done!
