Looks like RIM are shooting themselves in the foot again! Hopefully they are looking at a Lync App – if not they are going to be disappearing soon. I have always been a Blackberry man – but having see what Good Technologies can do we are now looking at deploying that too – in the end at the moment at least it looks like that solution will far outweigh the Blackberry very soon – and keep users happy (and integrate in to OCS / Lync!)

Hello,
I use a Blackberry that supports VPN connectivity. If I had a JAVA app that would let me connect directly to my OCS I could make use of inter-office chat anywhere I am. Would it be possible for Microsoft to make a Java based client that will work on my BB without the BES?

You shouldn’t require an OCS Edge server for your BB clients to work, but you will require an OCS Communicator Web Access (CWA) role – and a OCS 2007 R1 CWA version at that (the R2 version is does not work with BB clients yet). An OCS Access Edge is required for remote Office Communicator or Windows Communicator Mobile clients to connect externally. Also, I do not have much experience setting up the BB client to work with OCS, but I am told that need the Blackberry Collobaration Service needs to be installed. Hope that helps,

Is an OCS edge server (public facing) required to get the BB client to work? We have a BES server and OCS EE server running inside our network but clients can’t connect after configuring the services.

I’ve gotten the beta version of 5.0.2 but the ocs 2007 client does not work with it – where can I find the client to work with ocs r2?

Hello, Gav. thank you for your post. Will it be possible if you can provide me more details on how you were able to get the blackberry device work with OCS R2? I have the same requirement. Thanks in advance for your reply.
