Before and After cabling
I wish I had better pictures when doing this work. One of my first jobs I needed to do when I arrived at my new work.
Blackberry Contacts not Syncing With BES Server / Exchange
If you see that contacts in Outlook are not being synced with your Blackberry you can first ensure that wireless sync is enabled. If it is you may need to reset and reload your contacts.
To do this go into contacts and press the Blackberry button and select options. Type RSET (nothing appears as you type) from the options menu and when you have typed RSET in it will prompt if you want to erase contacts and reload from server. Select yes and wait a short while for the contacts to be populated.

I like seeing graphs like this.
Enable Windows Server 2008 Mode Greyed out In DFS
If you have a Domain and Forest functional level of 2008 you should be able to create DFS Namespaces that are enabled for Windows 2008 mode. However when creating a DFS I noticed that this option was greyed out. I checked again in Active Directory to confirm the Forest and Domain was running at a 2008 Functional Level and it was. It turns out that this option to enable Windows Server 2008 Mode does not appear until the DFS Namesspace service and the DFS Replication Service have been restarted on the Namespace server and the Domain Controller that holds the Operations Master FSMO role.
After restarting these services try and create a new namespace and the option to Enable Windows Server 2008 Mode should be availible.
