Hello guys,
I am a network admin in a company and we are planning to deploy BES in our network!
We have a DC and Exchange server.
Can you guys suggest me the most important and the precautionary steps in deploying the BES?

Thank you !

Contact RIM. They can give you the best advice on setting up your first BES and connecting to your email system. Test Bes offline first before deploying live. There are so many things to be aware of its hard to list- best to buy a tech support option with Rim and let them help you. How many anticipated users?

Can you help me with this offline thing?
I have tried to install the server on Vmware with a demo exchange server.
The problem is that SRP host filed is giving me the problem.(while installing BES)
I suspect that it is because i don't have the registered domain for my demo.
Can you help me with this thing?
Is there any other way?
