Problem:

‘BESSERVER’ agent 1: will not restart – reached the maximum of 10 restarts per 24 hours, next restart on “DATE”   i.e.   Tue Aug 20 05:52:02 2013

Solution:

 Steps to apply the update:

1) Stop the BlackBerry Dispatcher service from the Microsoft Windows Services MMC.

2) Navigate to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express installation directory.

3) Create a directory for the original files outside of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express installation directory.

  • BlackBerryAgent.exe
  • CalHelper.exe
  • CalHelperWS.exe
  • EWS.dll

 4) Copy the following files to the directory that was created in Step 3 from the ESRQ00010110.zip file. (editor’s note, I had to split the file into 2 archives, get ESRQ00010110.part1 and ESRQ00010110.part2 here): 

  • BlackBerryAgent.exe
  • CalHelper.exe
  • CalHelperWS.exe
  • EWS.dll

 5) Manually register EWS.dll:

  • Open a command prompt and change to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server directory (for example, “C:\Program Files (x86)\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server”)
    Note: Right-click Command Prompt, and Run as administrator).
  • Enter the following commands:
    “C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm” /tlb ews.dll
    CalHelperWS /regserver

 6) Start the BlackBerry Dispatcher service from the Microsoft Windows Services MMC.
