I'm getting increasingly frustrated though I'm not sure if it's my own fault.
Just as I thought it was working I decided to upgrade to IE 8 and now I can't get past the login screen.
I type in my login details and it looks like it's going to log me in but then go "error on page" in bottom left hand corner.

has anyone tried with a different browser?

Does any of the logs refer to this part of the BES?
there aren't any errors relating to it in event viewer.

Any ideas what i need to change?

One of the guys in our team did some testing and came to the conclusion that BAS is not IE8 compatible. Try downgrading to IE7 or use a machine with IE7 to administer the BES

See the official release from RIM about IE8

haha...oops.....
I'll downgrade it.

tried logging in from a pc with IE6 but get Page Can't be displayed.
tralalalala......

All I need to do is set an activation password.
How frustrating!

I have to run the site in IE8's compatability thing, otherwise it gives me an active x disabled error.

Besides the IE8 compatibility mode in IE8, Have you also tried to connect to the http port of the Admin interface ?
like:
http://bes-srv.somedomain.com:18180/webconsole/app
and not:
https://bes-srv.somedomain.com/webconsole/app
maybe IE8 does not like or has a problem with the certificate of the Server.

Weird, running BAS on IE8 without a problem. This is on WIN7 Ultimate RC, so I wonder if that makes the difference.

It should work when running IE 8 in Compatibility Mode, which serves as a rollback to IE 7 essentially. Just click the icon to the right of the address bar in IE 8 that looks like a ripped piece of paper.
