Default BesAdmin domain admin

Please Login to Remove!
Hi Folks,
BES 4.1.6.9 Server 2003, Exchange 2003.
I'm running BesAdmin on lowest priveledges as recommended.
Would anything break if I added BesAdmin to Domain Admins?

Thanks in advance,

If everything is currently working on your BES, why would you want to do this?

Off the top of my head, Exchange denies send as/receive as to domain admins on 2k3. I admin an Exchange 2k7 BES, but my history is in Domino, so I am not 100% on this, but I think you are heading into stormy waters trying to run a 2k3 Exch/4.1.x BES as a Domain Admin account...

Hi, thanks for the replies.
As a very busy domain admin, having a second "normal" AD credential just isn't practical. All my 110 users are fine, just my account fails on address lookup occasionally, and I have sync issues.

Have installed and configured bog standard, permissioning is correct.

Not sure I am understanding the issues here TBH.

If you are the only user having address lookup issues and sync issues, how would making the BESAdmin account a Domain Admin help with that?

TBH, RIM says do NOT put BES Admin as Domain Admin, it will cause problems.

So if you're having a side issue that you thought this might fix, please feel free to post the full issue and we will see if we can work it out. Either way, a good fix is not BESAdmin=Domain Admin

Dont do it, BESAdmin as a domain admin will break BES and cause you hours of fixing it.

Please tell me you're not using your own account for the BESAdmin account...

We're all busy people but I've found that if I'm going to log into a server to do something anyway, I might as well use admin credentials then and only then.

If you want your BES and handhelds to work correctly for everyone, all of the time, then you need to follow RIM's guidelines and best practices.

It's called the Principle of Least Privilege... and you're not following it.

Make yourselves normal users, and then create a secondary login with Domain Admin privileges. Only use that secondary login when necessary.

Hey... at least give me some credit here. I knew that blurb sounded familiar.

about time you picked up on it

I really liked the way you worded it that time.
