I'm working on a new server to run Blackberry Enterprise server.
The server is a p4 2.4 gig with 2 gig mem and 300 gig hdd.
I installed win2k3 with no problem, set up my local admin user for BES and then installed BES.
So far so good.
So, I install MS Exchange Management Console as required by BES and reboot the pc: BSOD and autoreboot. Continuous cycle
Boot in to safemode, no problems.
It won't boot to last known good configuration, which is weird.
So I launch safemode again and remove EMC and reboot.
BSOD.
I Start from scratch: Boot from install cd and reformat ( long ) new hdd - over 2 hours to complete)
Go to copy os install files and get the error that it can't copy files.
I'm getting really pissed at this time.
I replace the cdrom drive and try again: same error. Try new install media: same error. Try a copy of the new install media: exact same error.
I replace both 1 gig sticks of memory with new memory. Start the install process all over again.
BINGO SUCCESS!!!!
So, now I’m finally installing the OS, then set up my user permissions then EMC then BES. I really wanted to get this done tonight……
I’ll keep you all posted.
