Install a BlackBerry Enterprise Server component on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
Before you begin: - Install a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server and the BlackBerry Administration Service in your organization's environment.
- Verify that the BlackBerry Administration Service
is running on a Windows®
account that has permission
to access and modify the Windows registry on the computer that you want to install the BlackBerry Enterprise Server component on.
- Using the Windows account that you created, log in to the computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. This account runs the services for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
components.
- In the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation files, double-click setup.exe. If your operating system is Windows Server® 2008, run setup.exe as an administrator.
- In the Setup type dialog box, select Use an existing BlackBerry Configuration Database.
- In the Database information
dialog box, perform the following actions:
- Type the names of the database server and BlackBerry Configuration Database
that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses.
- If you configured the database server to use static ports, select the Static option. If the static port number is not 1433, in the Port field, type the port number.
- In the Database mirroring options
dialog box, if you want to configure database mirroring, select the Add support for database mirroring check box and type the name of the database server that hosts the mirror database in the Name of the mirror database server field. The setup application does not create the BlackBerry Configuration Database
on the mirror Microsoft® SQL
Server®; it adds a registry key to the computer that contains the name of the mirror Microsoft SQL
Server.
- In the Setup options
dialog box, select or remove BlackBerry Enterprise Server components from the Additional Components
list.
- When the setup application prompts you to restart the computer, click Yes.
- Log in to the computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
using the same account that you used in step 1.
- In the Application extensibility settings dialog box, consider the following information:
- You can type a valid FQDN or IP address to create a BlackBerry MDS Integration Service pool or add the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service
instance to a pool that you created during a previous installation process.
- The setup application creates the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service
database on the database server that hosts the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
- If you add the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service
instance to an existing pool, the setup application selects the existing BlackBerry MDS Integration Service
database and the existing administrator account and publisher account.
- In the Administration settings dialog box, perform the following actions:
- In the Pool name field,
type an FQDN that the setup application can use to create the BlackBerry Administration Service web address. If you install only one BlackBerry Administration Service instance in the BlackBerry Domain, you can accept the default pool name. If you install more than one BlackBerry Administration Service instance in the BlackBerry Domain, you must create a DNS entry for the pool name that is not the name of a computer and is mapped to the IP address of each BlackBerry Administration Service instance.
- In the New password and Confirm password fields, type the password for the SSL certificate that the BlackBerry Administration Service uses to authenticate with browsers. You must use the same password for every BlackBerry Administration Service instance in the BlackBerry Domain.
- In the Microsoft® Active Directory® settings dialog box, in the User password field, type the password for the Microsoft Active
Directory account (for example, BESAdmin) that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses to authenticate to Microsoft Active
Directory. If, after you click the Next button, the setup application cannot
locate any of the global catalog servers that are associated with
the
Microsoft Active
Directory
account, you must choose the global catalog servers that you want
to add to the list manually. To add a global catalog server to the
list, click the Add button and select the appropriate server. Each global catalog server that you add to the list must belong to the same domain as the Microsoft Active
Directory
user account.
- In the Start services dialog box, start the services for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
components.
- In the Console addresses dialog box, copy the
web addresses for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components and paste them into a document for future reference. You can use the web addresses to log in to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components.
After you finish: - If required, add the name of the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service pool
to the DNS server, and change the name of the computer.
- To view the BlackBerry Enterprise Server component in the BlackBerry Administration Service, restart the BlackBerry Administration Service.
- If you reinstalled the BlackBerry Administration Service, in Windows® Internet Explorer®, delete the cache.
