Hi all,

I have set up a brand new BDS10 server and all seems to work fine except i cannot send messages from my Z10.

Connection to the external relay SRP is fine and conected.

I'm using the same user as my current BES 5.0 services use so i know it is not a permissions issue, as users can send and revieve from devicies on that infrastructure.

Can any one tell me where to start to look and which log files i might find the answer, of find some info so i can ask a more direct question.

Thanks.

I have tried to reactivate the device.

It activates, but not mail flow in either direction.

What should the active sync server be? Our external mail address or the internal mail address for activesync?

Thanks.

Before Activating any users you have to create an email profile in BAS10. You can create users in BAS but with no email profile they will activate successfully on their device but no email will flow. No corporate email will show in the hub.

You have to create the activesync profile in the BDS.

There are no permissions requirements as we usually needed in BES.

when you create the Email profile, do you have to point it to the CAS server or the Mailbox Server (Exchange 2007) ?

To the mailbox server

Still didnt work, it says "Contacting server"...

What I tried also, I tried activating the old device using SIM card A, the email from RIM gets to the users mailbox but device doesn't pick it up and that I am guessing is BDS doesn't support legacy devices. However, I inserted the same SIM A into a BB10 device and activated using the email profile (which points to our Mailbox server as you mentioned), and tried activating the device using the details and in the server field used SXXXXXX (Server Address) which is what it says as the server and all it does is "contacting server.." ending up with "The server couldnt be contacted. Check that you are connected to a network and that the server address is correct and try again"

I don't even receive any email in the mailbox this time so seems the device isn't even talking to RIM infrastructure and I am sure the username and activation password is correct.

I have checked one site for the error Iam getting and shows the following KB32811 Error messages while activating BlackBerry 10 devices

Did you open the port 443 from bds to the infrastructure?

You should keep in your mind, that bds has changed the activation mechanism, no email will be sent to the mailbox, because the activation request goes from the infrastructure direct to the BDS server.

Did you use the SRP id, or Server address in the activation details? Try to open 443, and dont use this detail field.

Did you check the PIN status in the Blackberry Expert Support Center?

I am told by the Comms team that port 443 is open, Iam using the SRP id in the activation details. I am unable to leave that blacnk as its a required field. (just to verify, I am going to Work Accounts, entering the users email address in USER ID, activation email and the SRP id in Server Address)

[Kul]

I have looked at the firewall logs and can see that its doing a dns query and sending a SSL request to directoryservice.blackberry.com but then after few retries the Activation Error appears "The server couldnt be contacted. Check that you are connected to a network and the server address is correct and try again"

The User ID: is
activation password: xxx
Server Address : <SRP key>

The Email profile is pointing to the Exchange mailbox server

any ideas why device isnt activating ?

[Kul]

progress - got to a point where it is retreiving work space configuration from the server before i got the activation Error. Will check logs and see

Thanks.

Your ActiveSync needs to work externally so that BBRY NOC can communicate with it.

If I understand you correctly you have a user on both BES5 and BES10? YES? Well you can only have one user on one service not both especially not in the same organization either as the two BES servers will be fighting back and forth.

[Kul]

The user is not on BES 5 but only on bds - seems to activate but no info is synced (no contacts, no calendar and no emails)

I have checked the user has activeSync enabled in properties on Exchange, windows Firewall is disabled for now, will get comms to check network for 443 because it mentions that does come up with the below message when i try to update the account settings.

"The server for account [exchmailboxserver, port:443] cant be reached. The setting might be incorrect or the server could be temporarily offline. Check your settings and try again"

seems like some network issue blocking port 443 back to the server

Are you sure this is correct? That would seem to indicate that you cannot have both a Playbook (BDS) and a Blackberry 7 (BES5) operating simultaneously in the same organization.

[nobody7290]

You can have only one Device when using BES5, but, the BDS/BES10 is operating independent of the BES5. With BDS a user may have multiple Devices activated.
So, using a Blackberry 4/5/6/7 device plus Z10 plus Playbook is possible.

Having completed the activation, I still have no joy with the sync of email,contact,calendar entries

Running Exchange 2007 SP3, the email profile is pointing to the mailbox server. The FW is showing that its allow 443 from the BDS to the Exchange but the transaction is Incomplete !

The ActiveSync is enabled for the user, so not sure what I am missing, any ideas ?

[nobody7290]

Have you tried to setup the Z10 with active sync, without the BDS, using the same mailboxserver address ?

Is the certificate real, or, is it selfsigned, and, still valid? I dont know if the BDS service expects a valid certificate or if a self signed will do.

Yes, I tried active sync without the bds and direct to Exchange server and it worked. - so really cant see what is stopping the sync
