  Step 15 :

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

  

   

  Reference :

  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.
