Create NTFS bootable USB / Flash Drive

Before starting, some things must be downloaded first, and others you need to have available:
But first thing first... if not already done, (thanks Henk for bringing up this issue), we will enable hidden/system files viewing first.a.. In Windows Explorer go to the "Tools" menu
b.. Click on "Folder Options..."
c.. Go to the "View" tab
d.. Enable the "Display simple folder view in Explorer's Folders list" checkbox
e.. Enable the "Display the contents of system folders" checkbox
f.. Choose the "Show hidden files and folders" ratio button
g.. Uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types" checkbox
h.. Uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" checkbox, and click "Yes" on the popup.
i.. Hit the "OK" button on the "View" tab

Next we are going to start with the downloading of...      -    pebuilder3110a

-         Pe2usb

-         HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool

-         Network Drivers….

-         Windows Service pack 1 for Windows 2003 server. (we only need 2 files from this service pack. Instead you Can use 2003 server CD also)

-         Windows XP installation CD 

-         A USB key of at least 256MB, also here, bigger is better...

Step 1: Extracting

-         Extract PEBuilder (pebuilder3110a.zip) into a location and folder of your choice.

-         Next is to extract pe2usb (pe2usb101.zip). The 3 extracted files have to be placed in the folder you have used/created to extract PEBuilder to.

-         Install HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool (SP27213.exe) to a location of your choice.

-         now we are going to extract our Service pack 1 for Windows 2003 server. You only need 2 files. To do so, you do the following:

Open a Dos window. To do so click on “Start” – “Run” – and type the following:
CMD and click on OK.

In the dos window you have to go to the location where you have your service pack previously saved after the download. Here in this example one would go to c:\temp and give in the name of the service pack followed by a “-X” (without the quotation marks). Now the service pack will be extracted...you decide the location



After the extraction you can close this dos window...
Next is to search for the 2 files needed in the extraction folder...”setupldr.bin” and “ramdisk.sy_” Both are in the i386 folder and need to be copied to the PEBuilder folder as well.



This ramdisk.sy_  file still has be worked with.Therefore we will open up again a dos window.
In this example we give in the following:

We now will create a new folder in the PEBuilder folder. This new folder will be given the following name: srsp1
and you have to copy the files ”setupldr.bin” and “ramdisk.sys” from the PEBuilder folder into that newly created folder.
Step 2: Starting Pebuilder
For adding Plugins, I would like to point you to the following websites: Bart PEBuilder,  The 911.net CD Forum and my own site  .

Once the .iso file has been created, you can close PEBuilder...


Step 3: The USB-key
Fisrt step here is to format the USB key. REMINDER!!!! all data will be deleted on the USB-key...
To format the USB-key, we will use HPUSBFW.exe (HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool), which we downloaded installed in the beginning of this document...
Best thing to do, is to leave the file system on the USB-key to FAT...

After the format we are going to do the transfer to the USB-key.. We are now going to use pe2usb. To do so open a dos window.
We now go through the dos window to the PEBuilder folder and type in the following command:pe2usb X: (where X is the drive letter of your USB-key. In this example it would be G: ) and hit Enter

The size of the iso files depends on the number and size of plugins you have added or activated...

If you take a look on the USB-key you should at least have the following files:
an .iso file  –  NTDETECT.COM  –  ntldr  and  winnt.sif You could also copy some extra files onto the USB-key, which can be run without any installation. (stand allone applications)...these apps can be found anywhere...a few examples you can already find on my site: here and here.

The very last step of course is to tell youre computer it should boot from USB. This can be done through the BIOS of the computer. Because of the different versions and makings of BIOS, I would refer here to your manual on the BIOS youre computer is using, to take the necessary steps...
Once all necessary steps are taken, and if you computer is fit to boot from USB, it should normally boot from the USB-key.
 If you recieve an Error 16 during the startup, it is most likely you do not have enough memory in your computer to unpack the iso file. If so you can eiter add extra memory or you make your ISO smaller by reducing the plugins used while creating with PEBUILDER.

Install BES 4.1.3 or higher in an Exchange 2007 Environment

Note: In an Exchange 2007 environment BlackBerry Enterprise Server should NOT be installed on the mail server as the BES software is not 64BIT compatible. In the event BES is installed on the mail server is will change IIS from 32BIT to 32BIT mode, this will then cause sites like OWA to be disabled. Also before installing BES you MUST have public folders enabled and have an Offline Address book configured in Exchange 2007.

1. On the server you have selected to load BlackBerry Enterprise Server download and install “Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1” which is available from the Microsoft Download site (a.k.a ExchangeMapiCdo.EXE). This will install the CDO and MAPI DLLs which are no longer available in Exchange 2007. This replaces the previous requirement to have Exchange System Manager installed as in Exchange 2000 or 2003 environments. The current download link is as follows:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e17e7f31-079a-43a9-bff2-0a110307611e&DisplayLang=en

2. Log onto your Exchange Server using an account which has permissions to create an account. Open the Exchange Management Console and create a service account called BESadmin.

3. From the Exchange 2007 server open the “Exchange Management Shell” which can be found in the Exchange program group. From EMS run the following two scripts to set the delegate control and required permissions:

get-mailboxserver
add-exchangeadministrator BESAdmin –role ViewOnlyAdmin

get-mailboxserver
add-adpermission -user BESadmin -accessrights GenericRead, GenericWrite -extendedrights Send-As, Receive-As, ms-Exch-Store-Admin

4. Open Active Directory and from the View menu select "Advanced Features". Then go to each user that will be added to the BES and open their properties, go to the security tab and add the user BESadmin and add the security permission "Send As". (This will overcome some MS patches that prevent BES sending emails). Methods are available to add BESadmin "Send As" rights to all users if required but this method ensures only the required users have permissions added.

5. Make BESadmin a local Administrator of the server where you will be installing the BES software. This is done by right mouse clicking my computer and selecting “Manage”. From Computer Management expand “Local Users & Groups” and select Groups. From Groups double click “Administrators” and add BESadmin.

6. On the BES server go to “Administrative Tools” and open "Local Security Policy" and then expand the "Local Policies" and "User Right Assignment". You need to add BESadmin to "Log on Locally" and log on as Service".

7. Log onto the server where you will be installing the BES using the BESadmin account. Extract the install files and run the install file. Normally you select "BlackBerry Enterprise Server" as the install option once prompted as most sites don't use the MDS services for custom applications (MDS is a much heavier install). Follow the prompts of the install and the server will be required to restart half way through the install. Restart the server and log back on as BESadmin and the install will continue. (Make sure the Connect Test works and the SRP ID etc is validated during the install)

8. After the install is finished open BlackBerry Manager, an error will appear about MAPI client which you can just hit OK. The MAPI setting windows will appear so just add the server name back in and select "Check Name", if it resolves just hit OK and the manager will start.

9. Within Blackberry Manager click on Blackberry Domain in the left column and then the users SERVERS tab in the centre section, select your server within this tab and view the properties below. Ensure that "SRP Status:" is Connected (This can take a few minutes the first time so refresh the screen a few times). Once your status is connected you can start adding users.

10. Within Blackberry Manager click on your server name (The blue server) in the left column and then the users TAB in the centre section, just add a user and the click on that user. You will see all the users’ properties and a drop down menu called "Service Access” and select “Set Activation Password” and set a password of “a” for example.

11. Turn on you BlackBerry device and ensure Wireless is enabled. Go into “Options/Settings” and “Time & Date” and set the correct zone and time etc. Then from the home screen go to enterprise activation and enter the users email address and enter the password that was set in step 10. Press the track wheel and select Activate. Within a minute you should get data returned which indicates the process is functioning correct.
