Installation guide

• If you create the BlackBerry Enterprise Server databases on the same computer as the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and

the computer already hosts a Microsoft SQL Server, assign the database creator permission to the Windows account that

you use to complete the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation process. If you want the setup application to install

the BlackBerry database notification system, also assign the system administrator permission to the Windows account.

• If you create the BlackBerry Enterprise Server databases on another computer, assign the database creator permission

to the Windows account that you want to use to complete the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation process.

Configuring authentication to the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database

When the setup application creates the BlackBerry® MDS Integration Service database during the installation process, you must

use the same authentication method and account that you specified for the BlackBerry Configuration Database. The BlackBerry

MDS Integration Service requires the same permissions to access the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database that the

BlackBerry® Enterprise Server requires to access the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
