Hi All -
I'm trying to add a user with new Pearl on Sprint to the BES. Same standard process. I've had her confirm her plan is provisioned for BES. Activation never completes, she'll have email & calendar it seems-- but contacts never come down. Everything seems well on BES & her device, nothing's set to NOT reconcile. Any ideas? I've never experienced this. Either EAs don't go thru at all or go all the way in my experience.

Thanks in advance!

I'm also having this exact issue. Also with a Pearl...

Try disabling the wireless contact sync through the BB admin client, or disable it via the device immediately after the activation process starts. If the activation completes successfully, re-enable the wireless contact sync option. The contacts should come down to the device over time.

I recently had a couple of 8703s that would get "stuck" at 11%. Email would be present, calendar would be present and synched. Turns out there was an error reading the memo folder in Exchange (2003). Turning off memo synching allowed activation to complete. Both Notes folders were empty, so there was no loss with doing this.

The error was found in the MAGT log: ConstructPIMFolder - Failed to open the memo folder for user (0x80040107)"

RIM told me that the Address Book is one of the last things synched during activation...

The Address Book is one of the last things to transfer during EA. Check the either MAGT log for that user or the Application Log. You might very well see the ConstructPIMFolder - Failed to open the memo folder for user (0x80040107) for a user. This means that the folder listed no longer has the default folder ID it was given on itial creation and the BES will only sync the default folder. It's the same as a user deleting thier contacts folder and creating a new one, it won't work. I think that running outlook.exe -resetfolders fixes this without creating a new mailbox.

If this is not the issue with the user then disable wireless sync for the address book for the user then try the EA. If it works enable it and see what happens. You could also try a wired sync of the contacts as well. The contacts folder could be messed up and the BES can't access/read it.

Either way the logs should show you where it's failing.

Thanks all, I'm going give another try & then consult the logs.
