Google Apps Connector for BlackBerry Enterprise Server Installation and Administration Guide

Install Google Apps Connector

While installing the connector, use a Windows domain user with local administrative privileges
to the server. Do not use the built-in Administrator account on the machine you’ll be installing.

Set up server

1. Install Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008, and all applicable service packs

and Windows updates. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are supported.

Note:

Be sure to use a clean installation of Windows Server that is not used for any other

purpose.

2. Install Microsoft Outlook 2007 and Service Pack 2 on the machine where you will run the

Connector. If unsure, use the “Install Now” default configuration.

a. Install Microsoft Outlook 2007 from your standard CD or volume license.

b. Download Service Pack 2 here:
