IMCEAEX-_O=DOMAIN_OU=EXCHANGE+20ADMINISTRATIVE+20GROUP+20+28FYDIBOHF23SPDLT+29_CN=RECIPIENTS_CN=
So I saw this address today when replying to an email after changing a users Primary email address, alias, SPN. User account was being taken over by a new person in this special position.
Odd as it never happened before but after some digging around its because we migrated from Exchange 2003 to 2010 and the user legacy name in AD was using the old mail server address for some odd reason. I will have to figure out why later on.
So I copied the legacy name attribute in AD Users and Computers from a new working user and changed the name on the end to match the special user and now emails can be sent with the new email address.

BES 10 common questions a KnottyRope Tip
Here are some answers to the most common questions ask about BES 10
BES 10 SRP is free and not a temp SRP, you only need to Buy CALs for it at about $60.00 USD per year per user unless you have a large users base to get a volume discount.
You can get BES 5 for free if you are on 4.x. no upgrade cost for going to BES 10.
BES 10.1 will install on your BES 5 SP4 server if you have enough resources for it or you can install it on a diff VM or server. BES 10 is KNOT an upgrade. You'll require BOTH your BES 5 SP4 , and BES10, to support the both old Java and new QNX devices.
BES 10 CALs are linked to your SRP. There are serveral types of CALs
BDS for BB10 and Playbook
UDS For IOS and Addroid
EMM for non Balance corporate whih requres a special data plan as well.
BES 10.1 requires you to trade up your existing BES 10 or Fusion CALs. nt fun but at least its still free to upgrade.
If you had Full BES before you can convert your CALs for free to PERMANANT CALs that wont expire. you have until end of year 2013 to upgrade them. You can start trading up CALs now, Remember this is not for BES Express 5, SBE or free Pro CALs http://blackberry.com/licensetradeup
Installation tips
yes you can use your existing BESAdmin account and it does not require all the permission of the past. It actually uses the users AD credentials.
You will need a Seperate SQL database for BES 10 and you can use the same SQL server for it just name it the default name of BDSMgmt
EAS does not need to be open to internet for BDS, but for now it is needed for UDS until next update comes this summer.
SRP and CAL info when installing can be fun since the naming is differnet in the email and the docs.

Cant activate device? Did you try to put in your SRP for server address? if it works after then you can have BES associate your domain to your SRP. Set it at Register activation information with BlackBerry Infrastructure in BAS under Devices, Wireless activations, Device activation settings.

NIC index number not the same as port number
etherenet ports not matching up in windows?
I am being picky but it disturbs me to see my ports not showing in right sort order in Sconfig
So how do we change it to make it better?
powershell allows to rename the NIC but that wont show in sconfig
braodcom tools cant do it either
but you can in the registry until you fin out you cant change a setting
so now what?
dowload PSTools
run from command prompt
psexec -i -d -s c:\windows\regedit.exe
now you can edit the registry logged in as system
port 4 is not on index 11 but at least the name matches now.

Speed up BlackBerry Wi-Fi connections a knottyrope tip
These knottyrope tips might help you out. This is not an end all solution but
I have come across these issues in the past years. Go slow and document what you
do. Worst case is resetting your router to default and starting over.
Router running latest firmware? Update it as many are shipped with and old version as they sometimes sit on a shelf for months. Also a Wi-Fi router more than 5 years old might not work well with multiple devices.
Using a Hidden SSID? You should never hide SSID - hiding SSID is a violation of the 802.11 spec and this can be a pain with setup. Most new devices can see them anyways.
Using the same SSID as your neighbor? This is not good, you need a unique name or it can try to connect to both. I have seen NetGear 5 times in one neighborhood and after a simple name change you can have fast Wi-Fi
Using 2.4 and 5 ghz on one single SSID? This can be a burden, drop it to 2.4 and it could make a difference. Newer routers support a separate SSID for both frequencies.
Using WiFi B? If not using B then disable it or a rouge device might try to connect and knock your speed down to B speed.
WEP vs WPA? Not all N devices support WEP or WPA, Best to use WPA2 if all devices support it. Don’t try both WPA and WPA2 as some devices get confused. Some Wi-Fi routers do not support WPA2 AES-CCMP just AES, see if yours supports it. Most newer routers do have accelerated AES encryption but not for WEP. Older encryption methods will be slower.
WEP can be hacked in minutes not matter what password you use. If you have no choice but to use WEP, use only one WEP key as some devices will not know what to do with the other ones. Remember thath this encryption method will be slower.
Channel speed settings 20, 40 or both? Try 20 as most will work on it. Some devices will not like 40 only or even set to both. Check this on both 2.4 ghz and 5ghz on dual SSID routers. Using the default channel your router was setup with? Try a different channel other than the common 6 or 11 channel. Use the Auto Channel hopping feature if your router has it, mine didn’t work but it may for you.
Using Multiple Wi-Fi routers? place them on separate Wi-Fi channels so they don’t interfere.
Newer routers do QOS better so don’t be making this change right away on a newer model. older models with QOS for WMM Wi-Fi multimedia and VOIP priority on older models may not work well. if you don’t need or use it, don’t enable it. I turn off all QOS settings with great results since we don’t use the features.
Does your router only support 1 VPN connection? If this is the case then you might not be able to access BIS over Wi-Fi when other devices are using it or VPN. Many newer routers support 4 or more VPN connections.
DNS servers slow? Try OpenDNS.org and see if speed improves.
MTU matched up? Not a common issue but this can be a fun one as not all routers will set it to your ISP setting. 1500 is a standard but you can try 1492 for DSL lines or ones that use PPOE.
Using Extended range? If you don’t have matching card for your brand router it might not work well. Try turning it off.
UPNP turned off? Turn it on as your device may setup some port forwarding rules.
Using ISP modem and your own router/Wi-Fi router? Don’t enable NAT on your own routers as Double NAT can cause connection problems.
All port speeds matched? Check your Router WAN port speed, mine was set to 10Mbit by the ISP before. Also make sure its set to correct duplex mode and match it with other equipment.
Using cordless phones? Replace your 2.4GHz cordless phones with either a 900Mhz or 5.8GHz style so they won’t interfere.
Use Wi-Fi sharing on a PlayBook? It’s important to switch off AP Isolation if your router has it. Mine has it on by default
Custom firewall rules can be fun, try to allow default and slowly make changes and take notes on what you enable or disable.

BlackBerry Fans Get Hands-On BlackBerry 10
RIM asked me to come up to Waterloo, Ontario for a sneak peek at BlackBerry 10. What an honor and I could knot say no to this.
Yes I had to sign an NDA but it was so worth it. I was blown away with whats going to come. Wish I could tell more about BlackBerry 10 in detail. I did get an over view on apps, games and a whole lot more to come. RIM has changed their game plan and its going to be great.
I even had my picture taken with Thorstein Heinz.
