Wondering if anyone can help
I have the following setup and 2 sites

Site A
Exchange 07 server
Bes Server

Site B
Exchange 07 Server
Bes Server

Both exchanges are linked and can see each other, and there is just one Domain over both sites, all users have fulling roaming profiles. Active Directory etc replicates.

Problem Im facing is Users whos mail boxes are based at Site A can not use the Bes server; handsets will not activate.
However If i move the Mailbox to Site B it works first time, using Site B bes server.

After a few tests is apparant that Bes and exchange are not working togther at Site A, but there are also a couple of users with Site A mailboxes and Site B Bes handsets.

Ive gone grey working it out, has anyone seen this before?

Any ideas?

Is this the same Exchange Org and Domain? Does the BESAdmin has the same permissions on both Exchange Servers?

Same org and Domain
BesAdmin has full permissions over the whole domain.

Bes can see the users in AD and allows you to add but will not activate.

Is there anything special that needs to be done to have 2 BES's on the same network?

[rsk]

nothing special needed at all, we have 6 BES on the same network.

it does sound like a permissions issue, are both BES running using the same service account ?

This is bad: "BesAdmin has full permissions over the whole domain."

the account should be a regular user in the domain with some local admin on the BES server and special perms into Exchange.

Have a read of this for some more help: Users cannot send e-mail messages from a mobile device or from a shared mailbox in Exchange 2000 Server and in Exchange Server 2003
