RE: OT (a little) Blackberry sync problem

[Ralph Smith]

Thanks all.  I went ahead and deleted her user account from the BES
Server and reactivated her device with a new account.  Except for the
fact that in the process her voice service and Bluetooth stopped
working, everything seemed OK for a day, and then yesterday she emailed
me a curt "email sync not working again" message.  

 

With her frenetic schedule in and out of the building it's hard to get
more information, and even harder to get my hands on the phone, so I'll
have to wait to get more details.  I have this feeling this issue is
going to be a long term problem, and of course it's the CEO.

No problem Ralph, 

One thing you may want to look at, is to see if the offending messages
have been given a refid by the BES. I've looked at this to get an idea
of timings for delivery, where users complained it was slow, and to try
and prove if the BES was slow or if the users carrier was causing
delays. In your example you may find the one that arrived on the BB had
a refid and the other didn't. If they both have refid's I'm stumped!

The link below points to a script that dumps the refid information.

Phil,

 

I have had her leave her deleted items folder full for several days and
there was no difference in behavior.  Reconcile Now also made no
difference, but thanks for the suggestion.

If a users empties their deleted items folder before the BES server has
reconciled with the mailbox the mail will stay on the BB device. Often
users at senior level don't have time to wait for the reconcile to work,
or have too busy a mailbox to worry about it. Their perception is that
it should work in real-time but it doesn't. If the user, or more likely
in this case, their PA has time it may be worth observing what happens
if they just wait for reconciliation to work in both directions.
Alternatively you can do the same sort of test but select Reconcile Now
on the BB to force the process.

Might also check for any BB filters - make sure none are active and the
default if none apply is to forward to BB.

Then I'd do as JB suggested and delete the account (don't save any data
if it asks) and reactivate it. If nothing else it may narrow down the

Thanks Richard,

In my test lab I have installed Ex2010CA and MBX on separate servers with and

However mobile traffic does not seem to fair so well. Mailboxes on the E2K10

In my test lab I have installed Ex2010CA and MBX on separate servers with and 
ISA reverse proxy in the DMZ.

OWA access seems to work fine. So if I access OWA on the E2K10 CA via ISA it 
redirects mailboxes on the E2003 to the E2003 OWA. If the mailbox is on the 
E2K10 MBX server it serves them up directly.

However mobile traffic does not seem to fair so well. Mailboxes on the E2K10 
server work OK but mailboxes on the 2003 server can't be accessed. .

for which google is less than helpfull. It appears it implies Active Sync isn't 
installed which will true if its being proxied to the 2003 backend server, but 
I can't find any evidence of that in the server logs. So any suggestions as to 
how to proceed with diagnosing this would be helpful.

I'll read the docs...

Folks,

Any chance of a quick sanity check. Am I reading the documentation correctly. 
According to :-

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332348.aspx

I need to set authentication on the Active Sync directory on the backend server 
to integrated authentication. However I don't have an ActiveSync directory on 
the backends. In 2003 don't the front ends sync via WebDav? Does this mean I 
need to install an Active Sync Virtual Directory on my backends. So does the 
Exchange 2010 proxy Active Sync rather than redirect as it does for OWA...

RE: Active Sync and Exchange 2010

[Dave Wade]

Thanks Richard,
 
It is  a migration so I have "classic" 2003 OWA FE in the DMZ and
Exchange BE mailbox server on the main LAN.
 
In my test lab I have installed Ex2010CA and MBX on separate servers
with and ISA reverse proxy in the DMZ. 
 
OWA access seems to work fine. So if I access OWA on the E2K10 CA via
ISA it redirects mailboxes on the E2003 to the E2003 OWA. If the mailbox
is on the E2K10 MBX server it serves them up directly.
 
However mobile traffic does not seem to fair so well. Mailboxes on the
E2K10 server work OK but mailboxes on the 2003 server can't be accessed.
