Blackberry Enterprise Server - Terminal Services

I am in the process of installing BES on an old citrix metaframe server. After removing citrix and associated software, i run in into the following error when installing BES:

Terminal Services Application Server Mode is detected. Setup Type: Blackberry Enterprise Server option will not be available.

Carl Webster

Uninstall Terminal Services.

RIM does not recommend or support install BES on a Terminal Server. Here is a possible workaround, if you want to pursue, but I would recommend uninstall Terminal Server. Also I would recommend installing BES 4.1.6 instead of .5.

Thanks for your replies. I uninstalled terminal services and that allowed me to complete the BES install - all appeared to be fine "COMPLETED" each item successfully however i realized i was still working in a "restricted" desktop. I rebooted the machine and all the blackberry services started up, but i noticed the BESadmin desktop looked like one of our old citrix desktops. Basically the BES icons didn't appear, i dont have the option to reboot etc. I can browse to BES in program files and launch it from there i know something is not right. I added BESAdmin to the local administristrators group prior to the install. any thoughts???

It appears that a Group Policy is still being applied to any users on the server.

Thanks Gary - How do i disassociate the new BES from the citrix group policy?

Carl Webster

Move the server out of the OU it currently is in and move it into the computers container (or whatever OU you have for your regular servers).

Gary thanks but i screwed something up. i accidentally "REMOVED" the server from the OU container instead of moving it to "COMPUTERS". Is there anyway restore the object?

I can post another questions an award points?

Gary Cutri

Just remove and add the server back onto the domain.
