Install the BlackBerry Enterprise Server on a new computer
and create a new BlackBerry Configuration Database
During the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server 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 computer that hosts 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. You must install the BlackBerry Administration Service if you create a
BlackBerry Configuration Database and you must also either install or upgrade the BlackBerry Administration Service
on the computer that you perform the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation process on in the BlackBerry Domain
first.
Before you begin:
If you upgrade a BlackBerry Enterprise Server 4.1 instance, the upgrade process deletes any software configurations
that you created. Document the existing software configurations before you start the upgrade process so that you
can create the software configurations again after the upgrade process is complete. For more information, see the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Administration Guide.
