I just installed BES 4.1.3 express onto Windows SBS2003...no problems...

Until I tried to access the server via remote desktop connection (RDC). Wouldn't allow me access. I re-ran the Small Business Server connection wizard (CEICW), no joy. Re-applied the Remote Access policies. No joy. Added the domain admins group to the remote administrators group. Nothin.

Any ideas?

Remote Desktop Connection and Offline Files are mutually exclusive.
Use mmc console instead.

How does RIM locate a BES server? Does it find it by IP address, or does it rely on an MX record for the domain?

I have an Exchange server, which has a static IP address, but no MX record for the domain name. Will BES work?

(The 2 second version) Every BES server has a unique SRP ID. When you turn your BES server on it makes a direct connection to RIM, also your device has a connection to RIM.

I'm having my own little tech support conversation...lol I think there's some kind of mapi error-thingy going on. Here's what the log shows:
