Blackberry Enterprise Server Installation

I have two servers, the main one is a SBS 2008 running an Exchange Server 2007; I have another one Windows Server 2003 R2. I need to install BES on the Windows Server 2003 and someone link the BES with SBS 2008.

I tried installin the BES on the Windows Server 2003 and I ran into a lot of problems, right now It is telling me that "Couldn't initialize the Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI client. ................." and I am not sure what to put to fill in the blanks.

Can someone provide me a step-by-step?

I am not sure if you saw that i am installing the BES not on the Exchange server, I am installing it on another server.
Yes, but it is still for an Exchange Server Environment?  

The articles are pretty good. It even has videos of the installation process on some parts.

Anyways, Good Luck!
When I am Create an account for the BESAdmin in the Exchange Management Console -> Recipient Configuration ->  Mailbox ->right click "New Mailbox" ........... wich option do I need to choose from?

The link that I submitted gives a detailed explanation with screenshot on how to install the BES on the SBS itself or on a separate Server.
