Below are several
troubleshooting steps that can be used to troubleshoot a Blackberry®
Activation should the activation not complete or return an error. 90% of
BlackBerry activation issues support handles are resolved by one of the steps
below.
If you have not
already attempted to activate your device please follow the step by step
instructions for activation in the following article before attempting the
steps below:
Ckick Here
1. Ensure that your device has a data plan
BlackBerry Enterprise
Server Service requires that you have an active data plan from your mobile
provider including BlackBerry Enterprise service.
2. Ensure that your device is provisioned for Enterprise
Services
Without this
provisioning, Blackberry activation will not work. You need to contact your
wireless provider to confirm. With error “Unable to authenticate, Please
contact your system administrator” please contact your mobile privider and
request they remove and re-add Enterprise Services to your account while you
reboot your handheld.
3. Ensure that you are running up-to-date BlackBerry device
software.
If updates are not
installed, please navigate to http://na.blackberry.com/eng/update/ and
follow BlackBerry instructions or contact your wireless carrier.
4. Check the device Signal strength
Going to the main menu
of the Blackberry device, going to the Tools or Options menu (depending on device), and choosing the Status Menu, please make note of the Signal
strength (for a successful
activation this number should be between -40 and -98 DbM and it should not be
fluctuating). Also make note of the PIN number of the device in case you need to contact us
by phone for further troubleshooting.
5. Verify that BlackBerry Service is enabled for this user VIA
our Online control Panel
Once your device is
properly provisioned with your provider you will need to log into your online
control panel and browse to the BlackBerry Users screen.
For activation instructions click here.
6. Create or set a new activation key if you are unsure it the
password has expired
For your security,
Blackberry activation passwords expire after 48 hours. If you need a new
password, click here.
7. Attempt to perform activation using your primary email
address.
If you are running a
split domian configuration create a secondary
email address using your built in domain (ends with
.myhostedsolution.net). Use this secondary email address when activating.
8. Disable any forwarding on the user's mailbox
To disable forwarding
on a mailbox, login to your online control panel and navigate Exchange Hosting
Service > Click Hosted Organizations > Click your domain name > Click
Mailboxes > Click on the Mail Flow Settings tab and uncheck forwarding. Click save changes.
If emails happen to be
forwarded to another Exchange BlackBerry-enabled user, then there may be an
issue with activation. When an activation (ETP) message is sent
from a BlackBerry device to this user's mailbox, it will eventually come to
the BlackBerry server in 2 instances for 2 different valid users and so
activation may not go through. So it is recommended to disable forwarding
while activating. Once activation is complete, forwarding may be put back.

Exchange Hosting - SPF Configuration
SPF Configuration for Exchange Hosting Due to the fact that a significant majority of SPAM comes from forged addresses, a new Sender Policy Framework (SPF) standard is being implemented by a number of ISPs and mail hosts, including several major providers (Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, etc). Those providers have begun to require SPF to allow mail through their networks. Mail systems will need SPF records for their domains if they want their mail to be accepted by those providers. No action is required on your part as long as you host DNS is hosted by this provider and you do not use any other mail servers to send mail from your domain. To create an SPF record, create a TXT record on your DNS server with one of the following: If you ONLY use this provider as your mail servers: v=spf1 mx ip4:216.134.213.64/28 ip4:66.129.85.128/27 ip4:66.129.95.112/28 ip4:216.26.142.96/28 -all If you use this provider AND other mail servers: Use the SPF Wizard and include the mail servers (smtp01.netplexity.net, smtp02.netplexity.net), the subnets (216.134.213.64/28, 66.129.85.128/27, 66.129.95.112/28, 216.26.142.96/28), and any other servers you may use.
Exchange Hosting - Split Domain
How To Configure Your Account For A Split Domain A split domain is when 1 domain is hosted on multiple servers (for example a POP3/IMAP server and an Exchange server). We do not recommend this configuration, but it will be functional. 1. Configure the MX records for the domain to point to the POP3/IMAP server only. 2. Configure the Autodiscover record as described in our KB (here). 3. Configure a secondary email address on each Exchange mailbox using the built-in domain, as described in our KB (here). 4. Configure the appropriate mailboxes on the POP3/IMAP server to forward messages to the secondary email addresses configured in step 3. 5. Remove the authoritative feature for your domain in Exchange as described in our KB (here).
