Installation and Configuration Guide
Overview: BlackBerry Enterprise Server
1
Overview: BlackBerry
Enterprise Server
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server is designed to be a secure, centralized link between an organization's wireless network,
communications software, applications, and BlackBerry smartphones. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server integrates with
your organization's existing infrastructure to provide smartphone users with mobile access to your organization's
resources.
You can manage the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, smartphones, and user accounts using the BlackBerry Administration
Service. You can access the BlackBerry Administration Service web application from any computer that can access the
computer that hosts the BlackBerry Administration Service.
You can optionally install BlackBerry Management Studio in your organization's environment to provide a simplified
administrative console for your organization's helpdesk administrators and an integrated view of the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server and other MDM domains. For more information, visit http://www.blackberry.com/go/serverdocs to see the
BlackBerry Management Studio Feature and Technical Overview.

Installation and Configuration Guide
Planning a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation
2
Planning a BlackBerry
Enterprise Server installation
You can install all BlackBerry Enterprise Server components on one computer, or you can install specific components on
separate computers. You should consider any impact to system resources before you decide where to install the
components.
You install all components on one computer if you do not plan to activate many BlackBerry devices, if you determine that
the computer can manage the volume of traffic for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components, and if it is acceptable
that the computer has direct access to the Internet, without being located in the DMZ.
If you want to configure high availability, you must install an additional BlackBerry Enterprise Server on a computer that is
separate from the computer that hosts the primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server. During the installation process, you
specify that the duplicate BlackBerry Enterprise Server is the standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
For performance information, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Performance Benchmarking Guide.
For more information about high availability, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Planning Guide.
Installing all BlackBerry Enterprise Server
components on one computer
If you want to evaluate the BlackBerry Enterprise Server or complete a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation for a small
number of users, you can install all the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components on the same computer.
During the installation process you can choose to install the BlackBerry Collaboration Service and BlackBerry Web Desktop
Manager with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. All of the other BlackBerry Enterprise Server components are installed
automatically when you install the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
8
Installation and Configuration Guide
Planning a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation
Installing the BlackBerry Administration
Service
The BlackBerry Administration Service permits you to manage a BlackBerry Enterprise Server domain through a web-
based application. A BlackBerry Enterprise Server domain consists of one BlackBerry Configuration Database and all
BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances and remote components that use the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
You can install the BlackBerry Administration Service with other BlackBerry Enterprise Server components or by itself on a
separate computer. You can install the BlackBerry Administration Service on a separate computer to limit the impact that
the BlackBerry Administration Service might have on system resources and to prevent administrators in your organization
from accessing any part of the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. If you install the BlackBerry
Administration Service before you install a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the installation process will complete successfully
but it will not function properly until the BlackBerry Enterprise Server is installed.
When you install the BlackBerry Administration Service, you can install the BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager and select
whether you want administrators to use Windows authentication or BlackBerry Administration Service authentication to log
in to the BlackBerry Administration Service. You must verify that all administrators have access to the BlackBerry
Administration Service web address (https://<computer_name>:<port>/webconsole/app).
Installing the BlackBerry Attachment
Service
The BlackBerry Attachment Service converts supported attachments into a format that users can view on their BlackBerry
devices. By default, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server includes the BlackBerry Attachment Service.
The BlackBerry Attachment Service might use increased system resources when it processes numerous conversion
requests simultaneously. If you want to increase the number of conversion requests that can occur concurrently without
impacting message delivery, you can install a BlackBerry Attachment Service on a computer that is separate from the
computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
You can connect multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances and BlackBerry MDS Connection Service instances to a
BlackBerry Attachment Service instance.
When you install the BlackBerry Attachment Service on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the installation process installs the BlackBerry Attachment Service and BlackBerry
Controller. The BlackBerry Controller monitors the BlackBerry Attachment Service and restarts it if it stops responding.

Installation and Configuration Guide
Planning a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation
Installing the BlackBerry Collaboration
Service
The BlackBerry Collaboration Service provides an encrypted connection between your organization's instant messaging
server and the collaboration client on BlackBerry devices so that BlackBerry device users can start and manage instant
messaging conversations on their devices.
If you want to maximize the number of sockets available so that the BlackBerry Collaboration Service can respond to an
increased amount of requests from the collaboration client, you can install the BlackBerry Collaboration Service by itself on
a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. (Microsoft Office
Communications Server 2007 R2 and Microsoft Lync Server 2010 do not use persistent socket connections.)
If you install the BlackBerry Collaboration Service on a separate computer, the installation process installs the BlackBerry
Collaboration Service and BlackBerry Controller. The BlackBerry Controller monitors the BlackBerry Collaboration Service
and restarts it if it stops responding.
You can connect multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances to a BlackBerry Collaboration Service instance.
A different type of BlackBerry Collaboration Service exists for each instant messaging environment. For example, a
BlackBerry Collaboration Service exists for Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, and a different BlackBerry
Collaboration Service exists for IBM Sametime. You can install only one type of BlackBerry Collaboration Service for each
BlackBerry Enterprise Server in your organization's environment. Users can use only one type of collaboration client on
their devices.
Installing the BlackBerry MDS Connection
Service
The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service provides users with access to online content and applications on your
organization's intranet or the Internet. By default, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server includes the BlackBerry MDS
Connection Service.
The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service might use increased system resources when it processes content requests. If you
want to minimize the impact this has on message delivery, you can install the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service by itself
on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
You can connect multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances to a BlackBerry MDS Connection Service instance.
When you install the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service on a separate computer, you must assign at least one BlackBerry
Enterprise Server instance to it during the installation process. The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service uses the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server information to connect to the BlackBerry Attachment Service.
10
Installation and Configuration Guide
Planning a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation
When you install the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service on a separate computer, the installation process installs the
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service and BlackBerry Controller. The BlackBerry Controller monitors the BlackBerry MDS
Connection Service and restarts it if it stops responding.
Installing the BlackBerry Router
The BlackBerry Router connects to the wireless network and sends data to and from BlackBerry devices.
You can install a BlackBerry Router with other BlackBerry Enterprise Server components or by itself on a separate
computer. You can install the BlackBerry Router on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server if you want to install the BlackBerry Router in the DMZ, or to install standby BlackBerry
Router instances as failover components in case the primary BlackBerry Router is unavailable.
You can connect multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances to a BlackBerry Router instance.
If you install the BlackBerry Router on a separate computer, the installation process installs the BlackBerry Router and
BlackBerry Controller. The BlackBerry Controller monitors the BlackBerry Router and restarts it if it stops responding.

Hardware requirements:
BlackBerry Enterprise Server
The following are requirements for a BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components that
you install on a single computer, and excludes the BlackBerry Collaboration Service. The requirements are for a BlackBerry
Enterprise Server environment that includes users that receive 100 to 200 email messages each day.
You can improve the performance and reliability of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server by installing the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server components on multiple computers. If your BlackBerry Enterprise Server environment supports up to 1000 users,
install the BlackBerry Configuration Database on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server. If your BlackBerry Enterprise Server environment supports up to 2000 users, install the BlackBerry
Configuration Database and the BlackBerry Administration Service on computers that are separate from the computer that
hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

Configuring connections for the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server database
The database for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server is the BlackBerry Configuration Database. You create the BlackBerry
Configuration Database when you install a BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BlackBerry Administration Service or when you
run the CreateDB executable.
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server can connect to its database on the Microsoft SQL Server using Windows authentication or
database authentication. By default, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server logs in to its database using the Windows account
that you use to complete the installation process or the database credentials you provided during the installation process.
To support database mirroring for the BlackBerry Configuration Database with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft SQL
Server 2008, you must use Windows authentication.
Specifying permissions when you connect to the
BlackBerry Configuration Database using Windows
authentication or Microsoft SQL Server authentication
If you connect the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to the BlackBerry Configuration Database using Windows authentication or
Microsoft SQL Server authentication during the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation process, the Windows account or
Microsoft SQL Server account that you specify must have database permissions on the database server. The type of
permissions that you specify is determined by the setup option that you select and whether you create the BlackBerry
Configuration Database on the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components or on another database
server.

Specifying permissions for the Windows account or Microsoft SQL Server
account
If you install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition during the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation process,
you might need to specify permissions for the Windows account or Microsoft SQL Server account, depending on the type of
authentication you select.
When you select Windows authentication during the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation process, the setup
application automatically assigns the required permissions to the Windows account that you use to complete the
installation process.
When you select Microsoft SQL Server authentication during the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation process, you
must assign the required database permissions to the Microsoft SQL Server account that you use to complete the
installation process.
Assign permissions to the Windows account or Microsoft SQL Server
account
Perform one of the following actions:
•
If you create the BlackBerry Configuration Database on the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and
you require the setup application to install Microsoft SQL Server Express during the installation process and you choose
Windows authentication, you are not required to assign Microsoft SQL Server permissions to the Windows account. If
you want the setup application to install the BlackBerry database notification system, you must assign the Microsoft
SQL Server permission for the database system administrator (also called the sysadmin server role in Microsoft SQL
Server Management Studio) to the Windows account.
•
If you create the BlackBerry Configuration Database on the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and
you require the setup application to install Microsoft SQL Server Express during the installation process and you choose
Microsoft SQL Server authentication, you must assign the database creator (dbcreator server role) Microsoft SQL Server
permission to the Microsoft SQL Server account. If you want the setup application to install the BlackBerry database
notification system, you must assign the Microsoft SQL Server permission for the database system administrator (also
called the sysadmin server role in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio) to the Microsoft SQL Server account.
•
•
If you create the BlackBerry Configuration Database on the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and
the computer already hosts a Microsoft SQL Server, you must assign the database creator (dbcreator server role)
Microsoft SQL Server permission to the Windows account or Microsoft SQL Server account that you use to complete the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation process. If you want the setup application to install the BlackBerry database
notification system, you must assign the Microsoft SQL Server permission for the database system administrator (also
called the sysadmin server role in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio) to the Windows account or Microsoft SQL
Server account.
If you create the BlackBerry Configuration Database on a computer that does not host the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server, you must assign the database creator (dbcreator server role) Microsoft SQL Server permission to the Windows
or Microsoft SQL Server account that you use to complete the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation process. If you
want the setup application to install the BlackBerry database notification system, you must assign the Microsoft SQL
Server permission for the database system administrator (also called the sysadmin server role in Microsoft SQL Server
Management Studio) to the Windows account or Microsoft SQL Server account.

Creating a BlackBerry Administration
Service pool that includes the BlackBerry
Web Desktop Manager using DNS round
robin
When you install the BlackBerry Administration Service, BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager, or both, the setup application
installs the BlackBerry Administration Service services automatically. The BlackBerry Administration Service and
BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager require the BlackBerry Administration Service services to run.
If you create a BlackBerry Administration Service pool using DNS round robin, you can install the BlackBerry
Administration Service and BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager on each computer in the pool or you can install the
BlackBerry Administration Service or BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager on some of the computers in the pool. If you install
the BlackBerry Administration Service and BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager on each computer in the pool, you can use
the pool name that you specified during the installation process in the URLs for the BlackBerry Administration Service and
BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager (for example, https://<pool_name>/webconsole/login or https://<pool_name>/
webdesktop/login).
If you do not install both components on each computer in the pool and you try to access one of the URLs using the pool
name, the web browser might display an HTTP 404 error message. The HTTP 404 error message occurs when the web
browser tries to connect to a computer in the pool that you did not install the component on that you are trying to access.
For example, you can install the BlackBerry Administration Service on two of the computers in the pool and the BlackBerry
Web Desktop Manager on two other computers in the pool.
To make sure that the web browser does not display HTTP 404 error messages, you can choose one of the following
options:
•
You can create separate pools within the BlackBerry Administration Service pool for the BlackBerry Administration
Service and the BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager. You can provide your organization's administrators and BlackBerry
device users with URLs that include the specific pool names.
•
You can provide administrators and users in your organization's environment with URLs that include the FQDNs of the
computers that you installed the BlackBerry Administration Service or BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager on (for
example, https://<FQDN_of_computer>/webconsole/login or https://<FQDN_of_computer>/webdesktop/login).

Create the DNS record for a BlackBerry
Administration Service instance
To configure multiple BlackBerry Administration Service instances for high availability using DNS round robin, you must
create a DNS record. The DNS record permits the clients of the BlackBerry Administration Service pool to access the
instances using a single DNS name. You must create the DNS record in the same domain as the computers that host the
BlackBerry Administration Service instances.
Before you begin:
•
Configure a static IP address for each computer that you want to install a BlackBerry Administration Service instance
on.
•
•
Obtain permission to manage the DNS.
If you configure DNS round robin, configure clients to resolve the DNS name into a list of IP addresses and distribute
traffic equally across the BlackBerry Administration Service instances in the pool.
1.
2.
Log in to the DNS server.
In the DNS management console, access the forward lookup zone that you want to add the BlackBerry
Administration Service instance to.
3.
To create a new host, perform the following actions:
1. In the Name field, type the name of the BlackBerry Administration Service pool that you want to use.
2. In the IP Address1 field, type the IP address of the computer that you want to host a BlackBerry Administration
Service instance on.
3. Select the Create associated pointer (PTR) record check box.
4.
Repeat step 3 for each BlackBerry Administration Service instance that you want to install. When you add entries to
the same pool, you must use the same pool name for all BlackBerry Administration Service instances.
After you finish: To remove a BlackBerry Administration Service instance from a pool, delete the entry for the IP address of
the BlackBerry Administration Service instance from the DNS server.

Installing a standby BlackBerry
Enterprise Server
To configure the BlackBerry Enterprise Server for high availability and disaster recovery, you install a standby BlackBerry
Enterprise Server on a separate computer from your organization's primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server. During the
installation process, you assign a standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server to a primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server. You can
assign only one standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server to each primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The setup application
assigns the SRP credentials of the primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server to the standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server
automatically.
When you install a standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server, you can install the same BlackBerry Enterprise Server
components that are installed on the primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server, or different components. For example, you
might want to install additional components with the standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server if you want to use the system
resources on the computer to distribute the performance load.
You cannot change a primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server to a standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server by running the setup
application again.
By default, the standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server enables you to fail over the following components if they stop

Configuring the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server to use Microsoft Exchange Web
Services
By default, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses Microsoft Exchange Web Services to manage calendars on BlackBerry
devices. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server monitors periodically whether a user account can use Microsoft Exchange Web
Services. If a user account cannot use Microsoft Exchange Web Services, for example, because of a configuration error in
Microsoft Exchange, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses MAPI and CDO libraries to manage calendars on devices. A
BlackBerry Messaging Agent on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server can include a dynamic mix of user accounts that use
Microsoft Exchange Web Services and user accounts that use MAPI and CDO libraries.
You can use the BlackBerry Enterprise Trait Tool to configure the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use only Microsoft
Exchange Web Services or only MAPI and CDO libraries to manage calendars on devices. You can configure a specific
BlackBerry Messaging Agent instance, a specific BlackBerry Enterprise Server instance, or all BlackBerry Enterprise Server
instances that share one BlackBerry Configuration Database.
To use Microsoft Exchange Web Services, your organization's environment must include Microsoft Exchange 2007 SP1 or
later.

Restrict database permissions for the
BlackBerry Attachment Service
The BlackBerry Attachment Service accesses the BlackBerry Configuration Database to read attachment data using a
Windows account or a SQL authentication account. To limit the access that the BlackBerry Attachment Service account
has to the tables in the BlackBerry Configuration Database, you can configure a BlackBerry Attachment Service account
that has limited database permissions. This account is not the same as the account that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
uses to access the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
Before you begin:
•
Create a Windows account for the BlackBerry Attachment Service.
•
To use database authentication, create a SQL authentication account for the BlackBerry Attachment Service.
1.
In the Microsoft SQL Server management console, create a SQL login for the Windows account or SQL authentication
account.
2.
3.
Assign the account to the rim_db_AttachmentServer role in the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
If you want the BlackBerry Attachment Service to use a SQL authentication account to access the BlackBerry
Configuration Database, perform the following actions:
a.
On the computer that you installed the BlackBerry Attachment Service on, log in using the Windows account
that the BlackBerry Attachment Service is running on.
b.
c.
d.
Click Start > Run.
Type regedit. Click OK.
If you are running a 32-bit version of Windows, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Research In

Configuring minimum Microsoft SQL Server
permissions for the Windows account
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server setup application requires the Windows account that it uses during the installation
process or upgrade process to have Microsoft SQL Server permissions to create or upgrade the BlackBerry Configuration
Database. The setup application requires the Windows account to have more Microsoft SQL Server permissions to install
the BlackBerry Enterprise Server than the BlackBerry Enterprise Server requires to run.
After the installation or upgrade process completes, you can change the Microsoft SQL Server permissions of the Windows
account to the Microsoft SQL Server permissions that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server requires to run. When you change
the Microsoft SQL Server permissions of the Windows account, you can use Microsoft SQL Server security to minimize the
operations that the Windows account can perform on the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
The following table describes the Microsoft SQL Server permissions for the setup application and the Windows account that
the BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses to run.
Server and database roles Description
db_owner
The setup application requires this role to upgrade the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
This role is the default permission in Microsoft SQL Server for running the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server.
rim_db_bes_server
The setup application or the createDB executable creates the role automatically when it
creates the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
This role is the minimum permission in Microsoft SQL Server for running the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server.

Changing the BlackBerry Configuration
Database
If you want a BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use a different BlackBerry Configuration Database, you must run the setup
application and specify the BlackBerry Configuration Database that you want the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use.
When you change the BlackBerry Configuration Database, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server becomes unavailable and
users cannot send or receive messages on their BlackBerry devices. Organizer data synchronization occurs after you have
changed the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
Provisioning the BlackBerry Collaboration
Service as a trusted application
If you install Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or Microsoft Lync Server 2010 for instant messaging, you
must provision the BlackBerry Collaboration Service as a trusted application in Microsoft Active Directory.
If you add the Windows account that runs the BlackBerry Collaboration Service to the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group,
the BlackBerry Collaboration Service is automatically provisioned as a trusted application. The RTCUniversalServerAdmins
group is created when you install Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or Microsoft Lync Server 2010.
If you do not add the Windows account that runs the BlackBerry Collaboration Service to the RTCUniversalServerAdmins
group, you must manually provision each BlackBerry Collaboration Service instance as a trusted application. If you change
the listening port number or if the FQDN of the instant-messaging pool changes, you need to repeat the manual
provisioning task. If you restart the BlackBerry Collaboration Service, you do not need to repeat the manual provisioning
task.
