How to install BES?

[kwang]

I'm in the middle of installing a BES server to work with a Zimbra server. I don't have an exchange server. But the BES installation asks me for the exchange server name and mailbox name? How to fill in these parameters?

Thanks

The BES install will use this to create the initial version of the BlackBerryServer and BlackBerryManager profiles which you will be deleting after installed ZCB to create Zimbra profiles.
That being said, you can enter anything in those dialogs just to get past that stage in the install. You will be manually creating new profiles per the docs.

Whenever I try to enter anything into the dialogue box shown above I get an error message about The profile is invalid due to missing or invalid property tags. followed by a MAPI error.

What information CAN I put in the boxes to make the installation continue? We do not have Exchange.

Is it possible that you are installing BES 5.0 which is not yet supported by zimbra? Please try to install BES 4.1.6.
