BES 4, user problems
Hi,
We have BES 4 and exchange 2000 server. Recently one of our blackberries has stopped syncing with the server. When trying to check the settings in BES I got the following error Quote:
When I try and add a user from the global address list I get the following error. Quote:
I called the support team again to get the response. Quote:
I’m hoping to find a solution as both of these routes seem very messy. Thanks in advance. |
"handheldcleanup.exe -u" should be run while the user is still on the BES, it helps the BES find any users mailboxes that have been moved, the BES then needs to be restarted.
Removing the User then running "handheldcleanup.exe -u" will do nothing for the user in question. Check that the Besadmin account the BES uses has the correct permissions to access Exchange, exactly as outlined in the pre-installation tasks section in your installation manual. If the permissions are correct; Remove user from BES once again. get hold of a copy of DBclean.exe from your Service provider or R.I.M. run DBclean from command prompt on Users desktop [Never use DBclean while the user is on the BES] when you get the message "nothing to delete" re-add the user to the BES and generate a new encryption key. |
If you haven't already, reboot the BES. Your issue could have to do with a locked thread that has booted itself out of the account. Some people have complained about this. You may want to check your Exchange logs and make sure they aren't filling up, either.

Thank you all for your help.
Before I go ahead and make and changes is there a utility I can use to backup the server incase every thing goes wrong? Thanks. |
There is a utility on the BES server called Blackberrybackup.exe. You can use that. Personally sound like a permissions issue. If the BB worked and then quit working, has the mailbox been moved to another store or server where the BES admin ID doesn't have the proper permissions?
|
the mailbox is in the same place as it was before and the user is working fine for email.
I have looked at th permissions and they look fine. All the other users are working ok on the same server and exchange server. I will try rebooting the server tonight I also ran the DBcleanup.exe and on first run it says "nothing to delete" tried to add the user back to the system with no luck. |
Rebooted the server and tried to add the user account back onto BES4.
I am still getting the same error. Quote:

download and install the Hotfix 2 for BES 4. it contains a fix for this issue
|
Did you try the IEMStest from the server to the users account - make sure that you can get that to work as well (just to make sure the BES can talk to the users mailbox).
|
I had the same issue. After making sure permissions weren't the case, I did the following:
1. Remove user from the Blackberry Enterprise Server. 2. Close user's Outlook (keep it closed). 3. Export user's mailbox to PST. 4. Delete user's mailbox (not domain account). 5. Create new mailbox. 6. Add user to the Blackberry Enterprise Server. 7. Import user's mailbox from PST. 8. Remove Blackberry profile folders from user's computer. 9. Connect Blackberry & sync. All working fine now. |
