Thanks. I saw even the KB article for 5.0.3 Exchange on the DBNS said the SQL server had to be on server 2003, but another article says it's now supported on 2008 as of SP1. I assume the original article was just never updated?
I'm a bit torn on the database. I really don't like the thought of moving it, but then if they don't figure it out soon, it's really going to annoy me. My BES servers are losing connection to the database much more than I'm comfortable with. I'm actually wondering if part of why they want to move me is that BES is the only thing actively complaining. -----Original Message----- From: hdawg [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 09, 2011 8:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Bes-admins] Moving BES database to new SQL server Do you have DBNS installed/configured?

Sounds like your SQL admin is guessing ... suggest that he setup some perfmon counters, or look at SQL BPA - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=da0531e4-e94c-4991-82fa-f0e3fbd05e63 before he starts finger pointing.

Its always at night, when backups are running. Would a bes database be doing much at 2am? All users are in the Eastern timezone, we're not international. ----- Original Message ----- From: Linares, Mo A [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2011 07:26 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Bes-admins] Moving BES database to new SQL server It is possibly - the bes database can be i/o intense - I have about 150 users - sql 2000- and I've noticed that during high peaks during the day the cpu and memory can clock a higher usage and it is all About the bes database. Haven't moved a ha database but I assume it is similar to a regular database - ----- Original Message ----- From: Peterson David [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2011 06:12 PM To: A list for BES Admin's to discuss issues,etc. <[email protected]> Subject: [Bes-admins] Moving BES database to new SQL server Our SQL admin thinks my BES database is overloading our SQL server, apparently at least in terms of I/O. To take the strain off, he wants to move the besmgmt database to a different server. What is the best way to do this? I have two BES servers (5.0.3) in HA. The SQL box is SQL 2005, I believe SP3 but not certain. I have approximately 200 Blackberry users. Personally, I didn't think the BES database was that intense for a SQL server but my server keeps losing connection to the database. At least once when it did this, things that used other SQL databases on that box stopped working until I rebooted it. RDP didn't work until I rebooted it a second time.
