Move user accounts to the new BlackBerry Enterprise Server

  1. On the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that the user accounts are located on, open a command prompt.
  2. Switch to the Tools folder on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation media.
If the transfer of user accounts was unsuccessful, check the log file for error messages.

BESMigration tool parameters

Parameter Description
-s <MAPI profile> <old server> <new server>
This parameter specifies the following MAPI information:
  • <MAPI profile>: The MAPI profile that you want to use when you move BlackBerry® Enterprise Server and user account information.
  • <old server>: The name of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server or instance that you are moving user accounts from.

-t <status file>

This parameter specifies the name of the status file and the path to it. The BESMigration tool uses the status file to track the progress of the transfer of user information.

-u <username> <password>

If you are using database authentication, this parameter specifies the database user name and password.

-p

This parameter runs the tool in preview mode without making any changes to the BlackBerry Configuration Database.

This parameter prints user properties that the tool retrieved from the user’s mailbox to the migration log file, for troubleshooting purposes only.
