Explanation

When both BES instances are upgraded to version 5.0, the system's administrative framework is rebuilt using the new BlackBerry Administration Service (BAS), which means existing administration roles and accounts from the previous version do not survive the upgrade and must be manually recreated - making C correct. Additionally, BES 5.0 automatically pushes refreshed service books and IT policies to all enrolled devices after the upgrade completes, which is standard server behavior - making D correct.

Why the distractors fail:

• A is wrong because the old management console is replaced by the new BlackBerry Administration Service; administrators must use the new interface, not the old one.
• B is wrong because older versions of BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager are not compatible with BES 5.0 - the updated version is required.
• E is wrong because already-activated devices do not trigger a slow synchronization (enterprise re-activation); they simply receive updated policies and service books normally.

Memory tip: Think "5.0 = Fresh Start for Admins, Fast Push to Devices" - the upgrade forces a clean slate for admin accounts (C) but automatically delivers updated configs to devices without user action (D).
