Need to migrate BES 4.0, currently installed on our exchange server (6.5) . onto a standalone server. Patching issues with current configuration- it sort of breaks things causing a potental resume producing event. I've got BB's cutover to another server doc, but I'm a bit standoffish about ripping the BB DB from my exchange server. I'm to the point of moving the DB to the new server, but not sure how to do it correctly. thinking about calling BB, but if someones has done it already that would be better.

Thanks,
