Sorry - I should make it clear. 1. Tail is a unix style utility. You can get it from a lot of sources, but my favorite is the one in "Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools" (http://malektips.com/xp_dos_0001.html) . The syntax to use is "tail -f <logfile>" where you would replace <logfile> with the actual name and path to the log. 2. BES get's user's Exchange server from HomeMDB and msExchangeHomeServer attributes of the actual account. BES will create and maintain at least one agent per each of the mail servers that it finds users on.

Also, perhaps a dumb question but - how does a BES server know which exchange server(s) to talk to? I don't recall seeing where to set this up. We recently (1 year ago) migrated from Exchange 2003 to 2007, we still have our 2003 servers active and running but aren't hosting any mailboxes or routing mail. In our 2007 environment currently we have an NLB for our CAS servers and have the MBs set up in an active/passive mode. thanks Carlos Ceron Network Analyst Office of Technology and Information Services The University of Texas System Phone: (512) 579-5064 Fax: (512) 499-4599 E-Mail: [email protected] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kalnitsky, Yury Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 1:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Bes-admins] Finding out who your BES server is talking to It is talking to MB servers to get the messages. Both servers are being "worked" at the same time via UDP notifications to the agent. If UDP does not work, then "long" store scans are performed. This would cause major delays - up to 15 minutes or so. The easiest way to see what's going on would be to tail agent logs (for both agents). Those would also contain the queue size and queue status.

Currently we are experiencing a pretty long lag getting messages to devices. Does anyone know if there is a way to find out which one of the servers BES is talking to?
