BES Express 5.03 and moving BES to Exchange 2010
So I just came to look on the Blackberry website to see what I'd need to do to get our BES Express 5.0.2 MR1 box configured to work with a new Exchange 2010 server (we're currently on 2003). I see 5.0.3 is now out so I'm just downloading it. A couple of questions I guess, firstly is anyone using 5.0.3 Express and is there any feedback on it? Second, obviously when I setup our BES Express I followed the Blackberry tutorial videos to configure it with Exchange 2003. Now we have an Exchange 2010 box I'm assuming I simply run the command/processes listed for Exchange 2010 here http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKCdocType=kcextern alId=KB22601 and I should be good to go? Any feedback would be grand prior to diving in.

Slowly going through our Public Folder hierarchy adding our new Exchange 2010

I have around half a dozen instances of:

Error = Element 0 in the multivalue property is invalid...
Where mail01 is the Exchange 2003 server.
I don't see any way of telling which, if any, folder/item the issue is with -
and Google isn't turning up many instances of that 0x6751000b error.
Just wondered if anyone has any suggestions?
I've used ExFolder to add the replicas, I did wonder if it's worth doing a
DACL/ACL check too?

RE: Am I in a corner?
Yes, but the separation of transaction logs and databases in older versions of Exchange was more about recovering from failures than i/o profiles. What changed in Exchange 2010 is DAG replicas. That being said, I still maintain logs and databases on separate spindles in my environment (I have 75,000 mailboxes, 3 replica DAG) because I maintain my AP-3 replica off-site for BC purposes. That replica could, potentially, end up running for an extended period of time as the only copy of the data... in which case I really would want the protection provided by isolating transaction logs and databases on separate spindles. -jim James Rupprecht Senior Systems Specialist Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Administrator University of Kansas Information Technology From: Michael B.

RE: Am I in a corner?
Dude, then you are doing it wrong. :) First, you increase the size of the slice on the SAN - how you do that on the SAN is dependent on the SAN. Once you've done that, viewing the disk from Computer Management - Disk Management should show you the volume with Unallocated Space. Then, you can extend the partition WITHOUT a conversion to dynamic disk. The switch to dynamic disk actually means you are creating a software RAID-0. Regards, Michael B.

That replica could, potentially, end up running for an extended period of time as the only copy of the data... in which case I really would want the protection provided by isolating transaction logs and databases on separate spindles. -jim James Rupprecht Senior Systems Specialist Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Administrator University of Kansas Information Technology From: Michael B.

RE: Am I in a corner?
The steps as you mention is exactly what we have been attempting... the gotcha I think, is there are other partitions already on the slice, that fall between the piece we want to grow and the unallocated space. It is the data in the middle, I think that causes the need to convert to dynamic. I'd love to be wrong, but that is what we are seeing. If there was only ONE partition, and it next to the unallocated space, I think I could grow it just fine. Our example: We want to grow DB02 Basic DISK 3 = |ExDBMount|DB01|DB02|DB03|DB03|DB04 |DB05 |Unallocated Space| Again, I'm feeling we just need to get these DBs onto their own disks.

RE: Am I in a corner?
I am trying to understand as well. Are you saying that you have all your Databases on the same LUN mapped via ISCSI to a single partition on the Exchange server, that's what it looks like by your diagram and description. The partition is what would be available per your LUN configuration from your SAN, size, type, etc to create volumes on. If you only have drive e and no other partitions after that then you should have no issue expanding the LUN, and then expanding the volume on the partition. (Multiple datastores on one partition/volume.) If when you open up Disk Manager you have multiple volumes on that partition then yes in that case when you add more space and try and expand Windows will only add to the last drive on that partition and not to the specific volume needing space.

RE: Am I in a corner?
I'm with you Michael, Just add another mount point and be done with it. DB and logs, one each per mount point, on the same disk, drive, whatever. It makes it much easier to keep track of them.With having well over a hundred Dags in just about every configuration one could imagine in just one environment I can't say keep it simple enough. As for virtual mailbox servers, not sure I'd go down that road but you already have. In my opinion, virtual servers are not all they're cracked up to be, even in less demanding rolls such as DC's they're affecting the performance and reliability of the orgs for a host of reasons (hehe that's a pun son.).

Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Robert Peterson [mailto:robert.peter...@prin.edu] Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2011 1:49 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Am I in a corner? All, Current Setup: Exchange 2010 using DAG - all servers are Hyper-V guests, spread across 4 hosts. 4 - Mailbox servers Each server mounts 2 disks - SAN volumes, presented as iSCSI attached disks. E:\ all Database storage ( 6 -250GB databases) --- passive copies on other servers. F:\ all Log storage (6 databases) 4 - CAS/HT servers Concern: All Mailbox DBs were partitioned as mount points on the same disk or volume (E:\) being presented from the SAN. Issues: . I need to allow room for one of the databases to grow OR create a new DB and move some of the mailboxes. o I cannot grow a single DB partition without letting it convert to a dynamic disk which looks messy and I understand is not supported by Microsoft. Questions: 1. If I present a new disk for a new database, is there a good reason to keep the log on a separate disk(volume), thus having to present two new disks? The examples I see from Microsoft show the DB and log file on the same path. 2. I am thinking I need to eventually get all my DBs to their own disk. 3. What am I not knowing, that I should be thinking about?

I've run into that and an awful lot of others and they're all different. My first response would be apologize up and down for the inconvenience and get that migration done as soon as possible. Nothing causes friction like a migration, we've had a number of clients run into this same scenario and put the brakes on the migration temporarily, thinking the problem would follow into 2010. All have felt the pinch of that decision. Well, hind sight being 20/20 I can say without a doubt you will be much happier when you have finished. I think our smoothest migration to date was for 80,000+ users all done in one weekend. Sure there were a few issues but they were all taken care very quickly in comparison. I guess that wasn't really how to fix it, sorry about that, more looking at the bigger picture. Get it done then track down the problems when you don't have a basket of snakes, venomous ones.

The user has permission to send on behalf of their boss. When they go into the from field and look up their boss the email gets sent fine. When they select the same from email address using the dropdown where it remembers the name the message does not go through. They get a NDR with the following: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

RE: Send on Behalf error
In my roundabout way I guess that was the main thrust of what I was saying. Get everyone on same side, shared mailboxes too. We seem to have the most problems like that when there are 2 versions at play. It does help a lot!

Don't know if it would matter but are boss and send on behalf people all on the same V of Exchange? FWIW we moved groups like that to try and mitigate problems, I like to think it helped a little.

I've run into that and an awful lot of others and they're all different. My first response would be apologize up and down for the inconvenience and get that migration done as soon as possible. Nothing causes friction like a migration, we've had a number of clients run into this same scenario and put the brakes on the migration temporarily, thinking the problem would follow into 2010. All have felt the pinch of that decision. Well, hind sight being 20/20 I can say without a doubt you will be much happier when you have finished.
