Calendar sychronization not working in BES Express 5.03 with Exchange2010 SP1 hosting
 

Hi,

I have an strange issue:
Exchange 2010 SP1 RU5 in multi-tenant mode together with BES Express 5.0.3 MR1 (on two seperate machines)
I am unable to get the calender synchronizsation working. ( mail and contacts are fine)

I tried ewstest.exe and found out that the server can not sucessfully pass the autodiscover test:

default: Initializing EWS Proxy... successful
Administrator: Configuring User... failed
Administrator: Begin inner failure
Administrator: Searching Active Directory for Autodiscover SCP... successful

Administrator: Calling Autodiscover... failed
Administrator: Begin inner failure
Administrator: Trying Autodiscover Service: <internal server name>/ Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml
...

As the Webpage as an external certificate, It comes always with an certificate error.

I used following guide to set it up for EWS in KB20157 to enable BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 to use Microsoft Exchange Web Services
where I used the external link to be fine with my external certificate.

When I list the values with the traittool.exe everything is set to the external link (SCP and EWS).

In the MAGT log is see following lines always without any specific errors:

[40700] (09/22 14:45:01.337):{0x169C} {bestestatdomain.com} Receiving packet from device, size=121, TransactionId=-1581650095, Tag=1276, content type=CICAL, cmd=0x3

[40279] (09/22 14:45:01.337):{0x169C} {bestestatdomain.com} SubmitToRelaySendQ, Tag=1276


Another strange thing which is unclear for me ( I am not sure if it is connected):
I can never get calender entrys from the BES device to the mailbox.
Only when I click on "sychronize calendar" in the "Blackberry administrative service" I get all calendar entries which were done in the mailbox to the BES device.

any help is welcome.

After getting RIM involved in that issue it turned out the implementation guide ist not yet completed:
our solution was the creating a separete management role for the blackberryservice like this for example:

New-ManagementScope -PartnerDelegatedTenantRestrictionFilter {Name -eq '*'} -Name BESEnabledOrgs

New-ManagementRole -Parent PartnerDelegatedTenantManagement -Name BESEWSAccess

New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role BESEWSAccess -User svc.bes -CustomConfigWriteScope BESEnabledOrgs

Wow...

Glad you got it figured out. Moving to the BES Admin corner....
