I have a quick question.

Wed I installed a new Bes 5.0 all good
Thurs. I installed MR2

Changed all the services to manual

Rebooted

Ran the update



The installation directions said select the run as mode

Enter the Administrators login info

I did this ran the update

All good no errors

Changed all the services to automatic

Rebooted

My blackberry Administrative service Application Server service

Starts and stops.

Put in my one free Complementary service call.

Send log files

The tech reviewed my service and notice all the services LOG on as

Had changed to domain\administrator

Today, I changed the BlackBerry Administration Service- Application Service to

Logon as domain\besuser

No problem now

So,

Can someone tell which of the Blackberry services are logon as domain\besuser and log on as local system

So I can change all the Blackberry services to the correct logon as.



And check your systems after the mr2 update.

Why did you change the services to manual?

I have had BAS installed since day 1 and installed MR2 yesterday, I have had no issues and no reason to change any of the default settings, so whats up?

EDIT: BTW all of my BAS services are started by DOMAIN\bbadmin which is not the "administrator" of the computer obviously.

Did you install MR2 as the "BESAdmin" or as the Administrator?

When the MR2 setup prompted for the password, was it asking for the "BESAdmin" or Administrator's password?

I performed BES 5.0.0 MR2 functionality testing for both Exchange & Domino yesterday for my carrier and didn't experience the problem you have mentioned.

Yes, I was logged in as the bes admin
I stopped the service and set to manual
rebooted before I did the upgrade to ensure all
the services were stopped

I also have a bes 4.06 server and during the course of all
the service pack updates the best practices kb04882
task 4 says change the services to maunal reboot
before doing the upgrade.

bes machine windows 2003 service pack2
sql 2000 service pack 3a
Thanks for the info
I now can access my bes 5.0 thru the admin console.

I don't think so.

I'm sure it means only if you are NOT running the installation as domain\besadmin account.

Very interesting. These instructions are completely wrong! Notice the Known Issues list at the bottom of the doc. Those instructions are only for 2k8... I suspect UAC crap. The main part of the instructions should be just like the instructions for 4.1.6 MRs. Go look at those instructions and follow them for this.

Even still, you should be logged into the server as your besadmin account when installing an MR or SP for that matter. I see how you thought that you could use just any old admin creds...

At this point, I am not sure if you should log back in and run the mr again as besadmin to see if that changes the services or just manually change them back the appropriate user in each service.

Actually maybe you have said you already got up running again.
