Apparently when I followed these instructions I did not notice the controller service failed to start. After reinstalling BES (yeah its just me on the server otherwise that would have been out of the question) I was still dealing with the same issue I went back and noticed that it had failed to start. Tried to start it manually and still nothing. Did some google searching and turns out the DNS server on my SBS 2003 locks something that the controller needs to start. So I stopped the DNS server service, started the blackberry controller service and presto! Activation working.
I'm still unsure what initally caused this issue as I simply upgraded my OS but maybe this thread will be of some use to someone one day.
Thanks for all the help!

Followed these instructions from another forum:
1) wipe out the handheld data(Options -> Security Options -> General Settings -> Menu -> Wipe Handheld)
2) Delete the use in BES manager
3) Stop BES services ( Controller, Router, Dispatcher, Synchronization, Policy)
4) Run outlook as my Besadmin account, tools -> Send/Receive -> Send/Receive All
5) Run outlook as the user account, tools -> Send/Receive -> Send/Receive All
6) Restart the BES services
7) Readd the user in BES manager
8) Reset the user's activation password
9) On handheld, Options -> Advanced Options -> Enterprise Activation to reactivate the user
Now I dont get that error but it just sits there at Activating and in my inbox I see a message like this:
This message is used to carry data between the BlackBerry handheld and an associated server. Please do not delete, move or respond to this message - it will be processed by the server.
