Underworld: Evolution
Stars: 3

I saw this movie over the weekend and I liked it. Evolution retains the moodiness and tone of the first pic while expanding Kate Beckinsale’s emotional range. In the first movie, she walked around pissed and in a perpetual bad mood. This time around she’s mad but there’s a hint of vulnerability that the original Underworld missed.

Some people don’t like vampire movies. I’m okay with that. Some people don’t like werewolf movies. I’m okay with that too. I happen to like those kind of movies. Evolution isn’t the highest form of either but it’s certainly entertaining IF you do.

I use this little script a lot. Perhaps if you don’t know it, you will use it too.

For /f %%i in (servers.txt) do copy e:\dir\files \\%%i\sharename

One of the things that I have a problem with is figuring out the solution to some problem and then forgetting what I did when I need to do it again. One of the things I want to use this for is to document the things I found out.

At one of the small companies I work at they wanted to upgrade their BES installation. The version they had only allowed them 15 licenses. Here are the basic steps I employed to upgrade the server to Enterprise Edition.

1 ) Log in as the BES service account

2 ) At a command prompt:

osql -E
1> use besmgmt (This the normal bes database. If the name of your db is different type it here)
2> go
1> delete from licensekeys
2> go
(12 rows affected)
1>

Close command prompt.

Open Blackberry Manager

Enter new license when it asks for it.

You may need to restart the Blackberry services if your server is in a stopped condition.

That’s it!

I looked all over the ‘Net trying to find this solution. Mostly I kept hearing that it couldn’t be done. Doing it this way prevented me from having to reactivate each handheld.

Woohoo!
