When you run the setup as a different user then “besadmin” or the equivalent you created, the router service is not correctly set to run as “besadmin” and communication with the mobile devices fails.

When running Exchange 2010 (my case SP3) make sure you install the “MAPI CDO 1.2.1 package”.
If you install this while setup was checking prerequisites, you might get an error later on while on the MAPI settings screen. Check Now resolves the besadmin account fine and changes the name to the SMTP address. But when clicking Next, you get an error.
The setup application could not initialize the Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client. Make sure that MAPI is installed and configured correctly and the Microsoft Exchange Server and mailbox that you specified are correct.
1) Make sure the User account is not hidden from the GAL, open the mailbox in exchange console and check on general tab.
2) Press cancel and rerun setup, it resumes from where you left off, and now it proceeds.
After extracting you launch setup.exe from the bundle directory, you view the splash screen and immediately after the setup crashes. See screenshot below.
Change your language settings for “date, time and number formats” to english (US).
Rerun setup.Exe
When you create a new Database in Exchange 2010 you also need to add special rights to this database for the Blackberry Enterprise service account (standard: BESAdmin) to this database.
