In your screenshot, you've got local selected, but a different database server name.
I would guess if you selected remote and tried again, that may help.

Question
BlackBerry Professional Software Installation didn't create BESMgmt SQL database
I have a SBS 2003 server and installed the BlackBerry Professional Software. The installation didn't create the BESMgmt SQL DB and pointed to an existing SQL DB on my server. I get an error message saying that it can't find the DB when I click next. BlackBerry's installation instructions indicates that the Setup.exe program should ask me if I want to create the DB when I click next. How can I manually create the DB?

BES installs MSDE by default (which you generally don't want). I suggest you cancel the BES install, download a copy of SQL Express 2005 SP2 Advanced, install that and create a \BES named instance. Once done, go back through your BES install and point it to hostname\BES (or whatever you named it). If you already have an existing SQL instance and know it's name, try the same thing as above HOSTNAME\INSTANCE and also make sure you can connect to the SQL server over port 1433 - you can check by telnet SQLSERVER 1433. If you get dumped into an empty void you should be good, if not you need to examine your SQL connection properties.

Hi,
You can find your blackberry device pin under menu->options->status. Why do you need it? After the install all you have to do is to go to blackberry manager add your user account to the blackberry manager and set the activation password. You can check if you set the permissions ok on the bes user account by right clicking your user account in blackberry manager and selecting choos folders for redirect. If you can see your folders than the permissions are ok and you can set your activation password and activate the device.
best regards
Hi,
That means that you didn't do everything by the "book". The only guide I have found on the internet for installing BPS on SBS 2003 is by Gari Cutri. You can find it here:
http://forums.pinstack.com
Make sure to thank the author for the guide.
From what you are saying you are having a permission problem. Make sure that the blackberry user account is exchange view only administrator on your exchange server and that on the mailbox server it has send as, receive as and administer information store permissions. Everything you need to know about this is inside the guide from Gary.
best regards
Thanks to everyone. Al your help got me almost there...Ubadunski helped the most. I spent 2 hours on the phone with RIM and got it working.
