On 1/5 at 10pm I noticed my BlackBerry stopped working.  My BlackBerry Enterprise Server was totally dead.  Long story short, the Adaptec 2410SA raid controller in it died.  Luckily, I bought runtime.org's Raid Reconstructor and GetDataBack for NTFS a while back and I cannot emphasize how amazing these two applications are.  I put all 4 drives on Vantec SATA -> USB dongles, and fired up Raid Reconstructor.  Initially, RR couldn't figure out the raid parameters.  Luckily with enough trial and error I found that it was reverse parity rotation, 1024KB striped, raid starting at sector 0.  (1 meg stripes???)

I mounted the virtual image, and VOILA!  My data!

I restored the mdf and ldf for the BESMgmt database, the installer, and pushed it out to a different server.  I attached the database, installed BES, and suddenly was getting this error:

Error 70000, severity 10, state 1 was raised, but no message with that error number was found in sys.messages. If error is larger than 50000, make sure the user-defined message is added using sp_addmessage.

Error 70010, severity 10, state 1 was raised, but no message with that error number was found in sys.messages. If error is larger than 50000, make sure the user-defined message is added using sp_addmessage.

BES would not start.  Hum.  Okay, well, if there were custom messages added, the installer should have added them, RIGHT?

I tried every applicable solution in this article:  http://www.port3101.org/featured-blackberry-kb-articles/797-kb03322-service-specific-error-5608-a.html

I try cause 7, find that you navigate to the installer, then the database folder, edit BESMgmt.cfg, and set CMD=Upgrade.  Run CreateDB.exe with BESMgmt.cfg as a parameter, and it should fix it.  Wrong.

After a lot of poking around, I found this folder:

BlackBerry Enterprise Server 4.1.4\Database\DBInstallScripts\SQLServer\4.1.2  (you should use the most recent version)

In this folder was errors.sql.  Opened it, and sure enough the sproc to insert the message was in there.  I executed the script (against the master database) and started the BES!

Email started pouring in.  Victory.
