Blackberry Controller Service stops with error error 5003 (0x138B)

On one of my SBS 2003 servers, I run Blackberry Professional Server Express. All of a sudden, last night at about 7 pm, I got this in my application event log:

EVENT ID 20000
COMPUTERNAME SERVER1
DATE / TIME 2/25/2010 7:05:00 PM
MESSAGE Could not connect to Service Control Manager at \\127.0.0.1: 1722

and then I got this error when trying to start the Blackberry Controller Service - which was stopped:
The BlackBerry Controller service terminated with service-specific error 5003 (0x138B).

Long story short . . .

For some reason, the DNS Server service causes some problem with the Blackberry Controller service. It's easily fixed by stopping the DNS Server service and then starting the Blackberry Controller service. And then you can restart the DNS Server service. It's not a big deal - but it looks like I'm going to have to go through this stupid rigmarole each time I reboot the server from this point forward.

SBS 2008 - not resolving some external DNS

Today, I found an SBS 2008 box that was not resolving a certain web site. The client had gone to that site before, but today they could not. The client was on-site with the server and set only with the SBS box as the DNS server. I couldn't run a tracert to the site (from a DOS prompt on the server) - it said unable to resolve target (I believe). After troubleshooting, all I did was stop and restart the DNS Server service. Very dumb.

Perhaps this article might have helped, I don't know.

But it was next on my list of things to try.
