Hey everyone,
We are migrating our BES Express 5.0.1 server (VM) to a new BES Express 5.0.3 (VM).
So far we have the original BES on a separate VM server with a SQL 2008 Database. The new BES is installed on a separate VM with a SQL 2005 Databases. Our plan was to install the new VM separately and use BES Transporter to move the users over.
I have configured the Source (5.0.1 w/ SQL 2008) and Destination (5.0.3 w/ SQL 2005) Database. The Destination Database links up fine, but the Source Database is returning an error: "Unable to initialize the source database! Please check your setting and re-test the connection Error: Invalid object name 'ServerDBVersion"
When I test the connection I get a green check mark, but something is faulting durring the initialization.
I queried the 2005 Database (SELECT * FROM ServerDBVersion) and it returns three rows that appear to list the components of the Blackberry Databases. When I query the SQL 2008 Databases I get an error: "Invalid Object Name."
Does BES 5.0.1 not create this table? Anyone know of a fix or workaround?
These are the results of the SQL 2005 Query
ID CurrentVersion CreateDateTime BuildDateTime DisplayVersion
1 4.1.2 2012-05-08 15:31:33.563 2009-07-16 00:00:00.000 4.1.7
2 4.5 2012-05-08 15:31:45.793 2008-07-16 00:00:00.000 5.0
3 5.0 2012-05-08 15:32:27.320 2011-02-11 00:00:00.000 5.0.3
**CreateDateTime is when I installed BES so this table is created by BES, not SQL. No other progran would be able to use this table without context.

No the times are all correct. How would that affect the contents of a SQL Database? Are the Databases for 5.0.1 and 5.0.3 formatted differently? Because that would appear to be the case.
