Some Notes on the Machines

In SQL Studio for SQL 2008, under a database object, go to Management, then Maintenance Plans. If you double-click on an item under there, you’ll see a Visio-like flowchart; double-clicking on any of the items will permit reconfiguration.

RWW uses ports 4125 and 443.

Microsoft has a way:

Here is a document from LSI which specifies best settings for LSI RAID:

A very good series of steps, actually one command-line and one GUI, are here:

We have three stages so far.

1. Go to support.dell.com, and hunt around for the SUU with items for your particular server model.  “SUU” is what Dell is calling it, it stands for “Server Update Utility”.  You’ll be able to build a complete ISO of a DVD.
2. The “Dell OpenManage Server Administrator” is often the only source of chipset drivers, and it is sometimes not visible on the drivers page for the server.  At this writing, the best method to find the current version appears to be this Google search.
3. Check the individual downloads for your server, too.

A bit out of date, but still quite useful to help us figure out what to do, is this page:

Put the below in a VBS file and run it (from a batch file perhaps) with ‘wscript filename.vbs’.

' The name of the share.
strShareName = "SHARE"

' SERVERNAME has to be the hostname of the machine containing the sahre
Set objfServer = GetObject("WinNT://SERVERNAME/lanmanserver")
objfServer.Delete "Fileshare", strShareName
Set objfServer= Nothing

If the Blackberry Controller service won’t run, try restarting the DNS server, and then try to start the Blackberry Controller. If that works, you are seeing a TCP/UDP port conflict between Microsoft DNS and the Blackberry server. You need to reserve these ports:

3101
3200
4101

using this registry edit:
