Question : Problem: BES talking to MS SQL 2000

Hi All,

For one reason or another, we are going through a process of changing every password on our network. Everything is going to plan, until we get to BES.

We have 2 servers, BES and SQL Server 2000, of which they both talk to eachother. The majorty of the Blackberry services on BES use a domain 'Log On' account. This password has been changed successfully without issue.

I have since logged into the SQL Sever and changed the 'sa' password. As soon as that happens, BES stops working, and the event logs show the error:

"Unable to open BESMgmt database: Login failed for user 'sa'"

I cannot for the life of me find where I need to tell BES the new 'sa' password. I would have thought it shouldn't need it because of the domain service accounts - but it's obviously not the case. If it helps, we run a Lotus Domino email client.

Any help is very welcome. Many thanks,

Pete

This is a domino specific problem, which is why it took me so long to find it ;)


Looks like you will need to add a registry key to fix it. I've never done this...
