Jeff, The services were all ok.
In one of the processes that I ran I made sure also that I stopped them and restarted them correctly (http://thebackroomtech.com/2008/03/05/the-correct-order-to-stop-and-start-bes-services/ ). They are all running under the admin account. In a more standard environment where you have a separate box for the BES, they'd run under the BES admin user (which in the end is also an admin account). I tore the whole BES set up apart, recreated it under a totally different user. I am not seeing any more errors related to default message store or messaging agent. I was able to activate a testing BB. A couple of users were also able to activate. So far it seems to be working. Let's see how stable it is. thanks for the help Regards, Julio Ochoa t...@webjogger.net 845-757-4000 On Jan 23, 2009, at 11:25 AM, May, Jeff wrote: I would suggest looking at the services and see what is started to make sure they are using the besservice account and the correct password and also verifying the service account is active and not locked out, past that and if you are still getting errors a trouble call to blackberry would be my next step.....Sounds like you have done all the proper tasks and still no go....so best step would be to work with BES and they should get you fixed up pretty quick. -----Original Message----- From: Julio Ochoa [mailto:t...@webjogger.net] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 11:19 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: BES Messaging Agent Errors Jeff, Thanks for the link. I went through the different options, but still no dice. Here's another error that is showing up right after I start the BES manager Event Type: Warning Event Source: MNGR Event Category: None Event ID: 20000 Date: 1/23/2009 Time: 10:57:13 AM User: N/A Computer: MAILHOST Description: [ExchangeAdaptorDLL::Initialize] Failed to open default message store, result=0x8004011d. This would indicate permissions issues with the besadmin account I'm using. However, I have gone through the permissions set up so many times I can do it with my eyes closed now http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&extern alId=KB02276&sliceId=SAL_Public&dialogID=1487349&stateId=0%200%201485666 In addition to the event viewer message above, I also get a warning to the effect of "Failed to open the default message store using the MAPI profile..." Again, these errors seem to point to permissions issues for the MAPI user.

Anybody's input would be appreciated. Here's the environment we're running Windows 2003 R2 SP1 running on a VPS Exchange 2003 SP1 BES 4.1.4A This is a very small environment with about 5 users so that is why the BES is installed on the same server as Exchange. We have similar environment running without problems, so that is why I'm confident this is supposed to run. Here's the error: Event Type: Error Event Source: BlackBerry Messaging Agent MAILHOST Agent 1 Event Category: None Event ID: 10277 Date: 1/22/2009 Time: 11:31:14 PM User: N/A Computer: MAILHOST Description: BlackBerry Messaging Agent MAILHOST Agent 1 failed to start. Error code 5305 I have made sure all the permissions are correct. I have uninstalled and re-installed BES a couple of times. I'm able to add users to BES, but the activation hangs there forever. Here's for example one of the entries in dispatcher service logs for BES (I replaced the user's private info) [30450] (01/23 10:03:50.273):{0x1C40} {XXXX-XXXX} User unchanged (disp): id=1, email=u...@domain.com, device=<none>, routing=<none>, agent=<none>, ext=1, wl=0, keys=(0:0:0) usually there would be a code in the routing and agent fields. Has anybody seen this and if so how were you able to deal with it. thanks!
