Install the BlackBerry Enterprise Server on a new computer and create a new
BlackBerry Configuration Database
During the installation process, you must restart the computer.
Note: To administer the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, you must install the BlackBerry Administration Service. You can install
the BlackBerry Administration Service on the same computer as the BlackBerry Enterprise Server or on a separate computer. The
first BlackBerry Administration Service or BlackBerry Enterprise Server that you install creates and populates the BlackBerry
Configuration Database, if you did not create the BlackBerry Configuration Database previously using the SQL scripts.
1. Log in to the computer using the Windows® account that you want the BlackBerry Enterprise Server services to run on.
2. Stop the IBM® Lotus® Domino® server.
3. In the Windows Services, change the startup type of the IBM Lotus Domino server to manual.
4. Double-click setup.exe.
5. In the Setup type dialog box, select I would like the installation process to create a BlackBerry Configuration Database.
6. In the Setup options dialog box, consider the following information:
• You can select or remove BlackBerry Enterprise Server components from the Additional Components list.
• To install the BlackBerry Administration Service only during the first installation, click Remote component. In the
Additional components list, expand BlackBerry administration. Click BlackBerry Adminstration Service.
• To permit administrators to log in to the BlackBerry Administration Service and BlackBerry Monitoring Service using
their Microsoft® Active Directory® credentials, in the BlackBerry administration list, click Use Active Directory
authentication.
7. When prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
8. Log in to the computer using the same account that you used in step 1.
9. In the Database information dialog box, specify a new BlackBerry Configuration Database.
10. In the Advanced database options dialog box, consider the following information:
• If you want to configure database mirroring, you can select Add support for database mirroring and type the name of
the database server that hosts the mirror database in the Name of the mirror database server field. The setup
application does not create the BlackBerry Configuration Database on the mirror Microsoft® SQL Server®; it adds a
registry key to the computer that includes the name of the mirror Microsoft SQL Server.
