Configuring the BlackBerry Messaging Agent instances
to look up the user's status using only Microsoft
Exchange Web Services
You can configure the BlackBerry Messaging Agent instances to use only Microsoft Exchange Web Services to determine
the user's status, for example, whether a user is available, busy, or offline. By default, the BlackBerry Messaging Agent
instances can determine the user's status using Microsoft Exchange Web Services unless the user is an external user or the
user's email address is a distribution list. If the BlackBerry Messaging Agent instances cannot determine the user's status
using Microsoft Exchange Web Services and Microsoft Exchange public folders that are in your organization's environment,
the BlackBerry Messaging Agent instances can search the Microsoft Exchange public folders for the user's status. If your
organization's environment is running Microsoft Exchange 2007, it does not include public folders and the BlackBerry
Messaging Agent instances write error messages to the log files because they cannot find the public folders.
You can configure the BlackBerry Messaging Agent instances to look up the user's status using only Microsoft Exchange
Web Services to avoid the BlackBerry Messaging Agent instances writing error messages to their log files.
