Long story short, I'm trying to install Blackberry Enterprise Server Express on my Exchange 10 server, which is also a windows server 2008 DC.
I need to allow a user called BESadmin to log on to the machine, so I can go through their installation process.
Low and behold, this user is already listed as a local admin on the machine, along with a bunch of other accounts I'd rather not be listed.
Attempting to log in as this user gives a user profile error.
Attempting to delete them freezes my user accounts window..
I read that it is possible to fix this by deleting these users in safe mode with the local admin account. Well, my local admin account won't log on in safe mode..
Using the correct password, I see "Welcome" and then it tells me invalid password
Using an incorrect password, it tells me invalid password immediately.
Logged on as domain admin and using CTRL-ALT-DEL to change the local admin password yields similar results. It thinks for a moment before telling me invalid password when you give it the correct old password.

installing BES on a domain controller is slightly different than on a member server. See Assign service account permissions for a BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Microsoft Exchange
