Glen, Sorry to have to say this, but you realise your users will always say Initializing... until Enterprise Activation is complete?! I had to ask, it was too obvious not to. It seems that you may be having activation issues instead.

RE: DPS server
The situation has been resolved. The right files were located and copied to the DPM. Based on my experience this is the case: 1.)U need the version of eseutil.exe and ese.dll that matches the OS of your DPM server so if you are running the 64bit DPM server you can simply use the files off of the Exchange Server. 2.)If u are running the 32bit DPM Server u need the 32 bit files and u can copy them to bin directory on the DPM server.

RE: DPS server
Peter. I would qualify that first statement, in that, you need the version off the exchange server, IF the exchange and DPM are running the same os. I had just the opposite setup. 32bit exchange and 64bit DPM. Still wouldn't run. Got the 64bit files from a virtual EX07 test box and so far it is working. So basically, the eseutil.exe and ese.dll should come from an exchange server os that matches the DPM server os. How hard would it have been for MS to state this in the docs or error messages?

Ok. Maybe I'm confused but why would the SIM card cause an email from the BPS server to his outlook account not work?

RE: BPS reinstall.
Well, if your phone doesn't have a SIM card it's no phone I've ever used ;) The network needs to enable Blackberry functionality on the SIM to communicate on the Blackberry network. Otherwise it's just a dumb-smartphone. BES extensions are for BPS/BES, and BIS extensions are for Blackberry Internet Service (the consumer version). Often, the BPS/BES extenstion will cost more per month than BIS. In a nutshell (and there are parts of this for which I'll have used the wrong terminology) the activation email is generated by the Blackberry network. The handheld communicates with its carrier's Blackberry infrastructure to generate an encryption key. The key is sent, by email (with an ETP.DAT attachment), to the mailbox of the new Blackberry user. You BPS server will be monitoring the Inbox of that mailbox and looking out for this specific email in order to finalise the activation. If that email never arrives, your BPS server will never know which Blackberry to deliver mails to. Look at Options Advanced Enterprise Activation. It's also possible to activate a Blackberry through Blackberry Desktop Manager, or plug the handheld in to a USB socket on the server itself and deploy the handheld that way.

Also, I don't think any of ours even have sim cards as we are on Alltel and Verizon and I don't think they use sim cards. Correct me if I'm wrong here. As Mr. Sobey is using it, SIM really means wireless subscriber. If your phones use SIMs, the subscriber is associated with the SIM ID. If your phones don't use SIMs, the subscriber is associated with the ESN/MEID of the phone. The carrier has to provision the subscriber properly for BlackBerry to work. For some carriers, this just means a data plan; some carriers have to specifically provision the subscriber as a BlackBerry, or even as for use with a BlackBerry server. Contact your provider and check. It's a good idea. RIM can also check this, if you call them for support. For the two users that are on the system, when I added them, they received an email in their outlook account that had instructions to do something on their HH. Right. OTA activation works like this: The admin adds an Exchange user to the BB server, and makes up a password. On the BB handheld, the user enters their email address and the password. The handheld sends a special email to the address the user enters. The email includes the public key of the handheld, along with a hash of the activation password. The BB server continuously watches for such messages (for users you've added to the BB server). When it arrives, if the password hash matches, the BB server stores that public key, and uses it to initiate sync with the HH. If the user deletes the activation message using Outlook before the BB server can process it, then activation won't work. For our BES, the BB server sees it practically immediately. It may be that your BB server is not talking to Exchange properly, not seeing the I just checked the exchange tracking and could not find an email to this new user during the time I re-added him, reloaded and re-sent service books so it looks like the BPS server didn't/couldn't send the initial email.

RE: BPS reinstall.
Be sure that the email is not getting caught in a spam filter. Whitelist *.blackberry.net in all your spam filters. Be sure it's not ending up in the users junk mail folder. Part of the activation process if there is another email that is quickly sent to the users mailbox that the user will never see, but once in a while it will end up in a junk mail folder. There you will actually see it. I have seen this only in cases where the user has the OL junk folder configured to block all mail except allowed senders. -Original Message- From: Glen Johnson [mailto:gjohn...@vhcc.edu] Sent: Friday, September 04, 2009 6:42 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: BPS reinstall.

Oh yah, and: ESN = Electronic Serial Number MEID = Mobile Equipment Identifier IMEI = International Mobile Equipment Identifier All three of the above identify a particular phone. GSM uses IMEI. CDMA used to use ESN, but they used a small, fixed sized field, and are running out of ESNs. So they invented MEID, which is more like an IMEI, except administrated by a different agency because having all one system would make things easier, and the wireless industry hates that. SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards have their own IDs, and can also contain the phone book/contact list for a phone. Service (mobile telephone number) is associated with the SIM ID. Systems which use SIMs make it easy to switch phones. You can just swap the SIM to the new phone, and you get your number and phone book instantly. For systems without SIMs, you have to call the carrier and have them transfer service to the new ESN/MEID at their end. -- Ben
RE: BPS reinstall.
That particular email will be generated by the server. It doesn't strictly matter if the user never receives that, simply set an activation password manually (abcdef for example!) and give the user that password to enter into their handheld. As an aside, if the email isn't sent, it could indicate an issue with Send As. -Original Message- From: bounce-8649134-8066...@lyris.sunbelt-software.com [mailto:bounce-8649134-8066...@lyris.sunbelt-software.com] On Behalf Of Glen Johnson Sent: 04 September 2009 16:08 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: BPS reinstall.

RE: BPS reinstall.
We've found it easier to use the Set Activation Password... instead of emailing password. Then you would do the options-Advance-Enterprise-etc... As long as you have an unlimited data plan on the device and a good data signal (CDMA 1XEV or whatever the equivalent GSM signal is called) the BES/BPS activation should work. What could be confusing is that the users may have followed initial startup prompts to setup an email account. This would be a *BIS* account which works using the rim servers as a sort of POP3/IMAP4/SMTP proxy (to any publicly accessible email account). You probably do not want this :) Note that BIS accounts are associated with the ESN/MEID or likely the SIM card. Even when you do a full wipe on a device, BIS emails will start coming in again. Make sure there are no BIS accounts that have anything to do with your domain. and manually activate the BES/BPS account. As long as accounts are in the initializing... status you are stuck with an activation problem and need to resolve that first. ~JasonG -Original Message- From: Glen Johnson [mailto:gjohn...@vhcc.edu] Sent: Friday, September 04, 2009 11:08 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: BPS reinstall.

What Exchange version? What did you change? There are global max send limits and connector max send limits. -Original Message- From: Chris W. Parker [mailto:cpar...@aardvarktactical.com] Sent: Friday, September 04, 2009 2:34 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: mail being rejected because of size limitation Hi everyone, I'm having email rejected which I don't believe should be happening. I've used an article I gounf via Google to make some adjustments which I've verified I set correctly. I set the limits to 50MB and I'm trying to send a 17MB attachment but my server immediately sends back a 5.3.4 rejection notice. http://blog.justinho.com/2007/03/12/Resolving534ROUTINGSizeLimitIssuesInExchange2007ByIncreasingTheLimitAbove10MB.aspx Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Re: mail being rejected because of size limitation
I'm assuming 2007, based on the link he provided... Not running 2007, but 2003 requires this change to be made in multiple places. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322679 It appears that 2007 has limits in multiple places, too. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124345.aspx On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 3:41 PM, Campbell, Rob rob_campb...@centraltechnology.net wrote: What Exchange version?
