Install the BlackBerry Enterprise Server on the new computer and upgrade
the existing BlackBerry Configuration Database
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.
During the installation process, you must restart the computer.
1. Log in to the computer using the Windows® account that you want the BlackBerry Enterprise Server services to run on.
2. Double-click setup.exe.
3. In the Setup type dialog box, select I would like the installation process to use an existing BlackBerry Configuration
Database.
4. In the Database information dialog box, verify the names of the database server and existing BlackBerry Configuration
Database.
5. 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.
• If you configured the database server to use static ports, you must clear the Use dynamic ports check box. If the static
port number is not 1433, type the port number in the Port field.
6. In the Setup options dialog box, consider the following information:
• For the first upgrade, to install the BlackBerry Administration Service, select BlackBerry Administration Service under
Additional Components.
• To install the BlackBerry Administration Service by itself, select Remote component and BlackBerry Administration
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.
