MDS wont start + no server in BES Mgmt Console
 

After migrating mailboxes to new Exchange hardware(2k3 - 2k3), BES manager has dropped my BES server. Also the MDS wont start. Email still works though. How can I get that server to show up again and get that service restarted? Thanks!

What server version?

not logged into the BES machine as besadmin perhaps?

did you apply service pack 2?

I am on v 3.6.5.8 I think thats SP2...
I am logged in with BES admin account.

I tried updating using the add/remove programs BES wizard, no luck.

well if its that version then thats 3.6 sp5a i would say.

And if email is still being forwarded through, that means youre probably logged on incorrectly. Check the Blackberry services on the BES machine: what do they log on as?

Im logged in with the same account i aways use and the one that is assigned to bb services.
After moving mailboxes, the BES server showed up as <unknown> in BES mgmt console. Thats when I removed it and am now hesitating as to how to get it back in there. I have edited the MAPI prof for both server and server mgmt. Ran handheld cln -U. In veritas I do see an error that a .bin file in the event cache for the server cannot be opened.
thanks again guys.

is it possible to just readd the server if I have the srp and all the required info or will that screw up the db?
