Looks pretty solid, I just downloaded the beta test and look forward to messing around with it. I hear release date this year end time?

So generally when you have an agent that wont restart 10 times, there is no way to get the agent to restart. Reboots, restarting to dispatcher etc: The only way to get it to restart is to go into the bes logs, and rename the bes logs, like OLD_BES_LOG. The way we were able to figure this out by looking at the BES log and seeing at the end of the log it would actually say END OF LOG.

So looks like I’m going to be meeting up with some port3101 peeps at WES, look forward to meeting some people and seeing how they run their environments.

So RIM came in today and talked to us about bes 5.0 for about three hours. I am going to say, it is getting really exciting, the current package is looking like it is the gold package they are going to go with.
