BlackBerry Policy Service is stopping

Below is one of the newest problems we had recently , The Policy service is keep quitting every couple hours and we end up manually starting the service. The BES support is still looking into log files to figure out what is going on. We have taken some trouble shooting steps and listed them below to remedy the problem. The root cause of the problem seems to be BES servers not being able to push the policies for some of the clients.
