Thanks for your input, Doreen and Jeff. My problems come from the active node getting into a pickle and starts to do funny things. In this case, Enterprise Activations won't work, or for some users they cannot send email. Throughout, they can continue receive email with no issues.
Failing over to the passive remedies this for a few weeks, then we have to failover again.

We've found it to be extremely reliable have had no issues running on either one of them. We frequently failover (sometimes for days) for update etc. and it works great. We use a remote SQL 2008 x64 for our DB.

At one point both servers appeared as the primary. It has been one problem after another after I added that feature and right now I have it turned off. Let me know if you find some magic for this but I am very hesitant about it quite frankly. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sobey, Richard A Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 01:00 PM To: A list for BES Admin's to discuss issues, etc. Subject: [Bes-admins] BES 5.0 in High Available solution Just throwing a quick question out there to anyone running a pair of BES 5.0 servers in an Active/Standby config. Do you find it reliable? I've seen more problems in three months than I ever saw in three years with BES 4.1.6. Wondering whether to revert back to a single server configuration here.
