Restart the BlackBerry Services in this order below

Worker treats are hung, in which order Black berry services needs to be restarted. If you are moving users within the same Exchange server, you will probably end up breaking the BES connection to the mailbox, Apparently version 4.0 BlackBerry is looking in LDAP server DN (distinguish name) therefore it is not able to locate the user mailbox. Anyway follow the order below when BES services needs to be restarted. This is best practice from RIM support.

Restart the Black Berry Services in this order below

Blackberry Router

Service establishes connections, Manages the connection to the wireless network for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Also routes data to handhelds that are connected through the BlackBerry Handheld Manager.

BlackBerry Dispatcher

Controller

Other services can be started in any order,

Do the services have short names so i can write a batch file to do the dirty work?

I think it would work if you can do it, in order and give time for the first one to stop and re-start

Router=BlackBerryRouter.exe
Dispatcher=BlackBerryDispatcher.exe
Controller= BlackBerryController.exe

So in exchange 2007, what's the optimal startup order?

Oz Casey, Dedeal said...

The order is obtained from BES support as best practices and applies to BES services not Exchange. There is a logic in the sequence why the services needs to be started in the order mentioned in the article
