Note: Office Communications Server 2007 R2 is currently not supported with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

Prerequisites

• BlackBerry® Mobile Data System (BlackBerry MDS) is installed and running
• Microsoft® .NET Framework version 1.1 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is installed for Windows Messenger support
• Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) version 3.0 is installed for Windows Messenger support

  Note: If MSMQ is installed separately from the Windows Server 2003, clear the default Microsoft® Active Directory® Integration and Triggers subcomponents and select the Common subcomponent.

• Java® Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 update 9 
• Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 Service Pack 2 (SP2)
• Microsoft XML Parser 4.0 SP2
• Microsoft Real-time Communications (RTC) Client application programming interface (API) version 1.3

Preparing the environment

If the instant messaging environment supports Microsoft Office Communicator, the environment must include Microsoft Office Communicator Web Access. Verify that the Microsoft Office Communicator Web Access meets the following criteria:

• Mutual Transport Layer Security (MTLS) certificates are required for communication with the Microsoft Live Communications Server
• Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) certificates are required for communication with the Microsoft Live Communications Server

To support the Asynchronous JavaScript® and Extensible Markup Language (AJAX) service, install or configure an additional virtual server in the environment with the Microsoft Office Communicator Web Access that meets the following criteria:

• Uses all unassigned Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
• Uses Windows Integrated Authentication and Forms-based authentication 
• Supports HTTPS browser connections
• Contains an Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) filter for both the cwaauth.dll file and the ajax.dll file

  For more information, see the Office Communicator Web Access: Microsoft Office Communicator Web Access Planning and Deployment Guide at http://www.microsoft.com/en/us/default.aspx.

To support the AJAX service, download the following hot fixes:

• To download the Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005 update, see article 911996, or visit the Microsoft Support site and search for "Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 update".
• To download the Update for Communicator Web Access 2005, see article 915066, or visit the Microsoft Support site and search for "update for Communicator Web Access".

If the messaging environment supports Windows Messenger and uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) as the communication protocol, install or import the following certificates on the computer that will host the BlackBerry Enterprise Server:

• For Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005, install or import a Mutual Transport Layer Security (MTLS) certificate
• For Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005 SP1, install or import a server authentication certificate under the computer account

For more information on configuring certificates for Microsoft Live Communications Server, see Live Communications Server 2005 deployment resources.

Installation

The BlackBerry Collaboration Service can be installed using the following options:

• Install during the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server installation
• Incorporate into an existing BlackBerry Enterprise Server
• Install on a remote server

  Note: For more information on the installation options, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Microsoft Exchange Installation Guide.

To install the BlackBerry Collaboration Service, complete the following steps:

1. Run the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation file and complete the on-screen setup instructions.
2. Select Windows Messenger or Microsoft Office Communicator under Instant Messaging Connector.
   
   Note: If using the Live Communication Server 2005 with the TCP/TLS protocols you must select the Windows Messenger install type. If using the HTTP/HTTPS protocols select the Microsoft Office Communicator install type. 
3. 
   

   Note: The type of service selected during the installation cannot be changed without reinstalling the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and installing another service.

4. Complete one of the following:
   • For Microsoft Office Communicator, input the host name of the Microsoft Live Communications Server and specify the protocol. For secure connection using HTTPS, the port is 443. For non-secure connection using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), the port is 80.

     

   • For Windows Messenger, select Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port 5060, the default port, or TLS port 5061.
