Open Registry

  • Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem.
  • On the left hand side, right-click on Windows Messaging Subsystem, expand New, and select String Value.

    Open MMC – Add Certificated Snap in – Add the Cert to Trusted Root Container , so that when it query the CAS server , it wont give a Cert Error

    Reference link :

    Step 15 :

    A small bug in this step – Enter the DC name – if exchange Server Name Fails. Don’t Check name , Just Click Next

    image

     

    Reference :

    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Enterprise-Service-10/BES-5-03-Setup-0x80040115-on-MAPI-config/td-p/1868435

    If the BES setup asks you for the Exchange server and the Exchange account to be used you should not do as requested as it does not work.

    Instead you should enter the GC-server instead of the Exchange server and you should not press the check name button. Then it works even if I don’t have a clue why.

    Step 16 :

    Choose Next
