1.SBS/Outlook 2003-2007/BCM (Update)
Hi there - hoping someone can clear up some confusion here:
I have a client with a main office (8 users) and a satellite office (2
users)
The main office runs SBS 2003 standard, and all the in-house workstations
run XP Pro/Outlook 2003
The satellite office runs 1 x XP Pro/Outlook 2003, 1 x XP Home/Outlook 2003,
and users connect via RPC over HTTP to their mailboxes
I want to deploy Business Contact Manager with a shared database (with Small
Business Accounting added later) that everyone can use.
Based on information I've gleaned off the Microsoft site of late, the
following statements appear to be true:
1. Only Outlook 2007 clients can successfully access a shared BCM database
stored on the SBS server?
2. The RPC over HTTP connection method only works on the user mailbox, not
on the BCM content of the users Exchange profile?
3. A VPN would need to be established for the satellite users to access the
shared BCM database, most probably resident on a separate workstation in the
main office (see point 1)?
4. If the following is true, then how does the BCM to Windows Mobile 5
software then work without the existence of a VPN?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
AD
2.BCM update for SBS 2003
3.BCM-V2 (Outlook 2003 BCM SP3) TO BCM-V3 (Outlook 2007) Migration
I've got a two backups from my BCM-V2 SP3 installation :
A) Completed Export to BCM (From Outlook 2003)
B) Database Backup From MSSQL 2003 (Express Ed, or Whatever)
I Did a clean install (on Another WorkStation) of Office 2007, then install
Outlook BCM-V3 (Witch install MSSQL Express Ed 2005, and creates an empty
database)
I've follow two differents steps to try to make the migration :
A) Import BCM File (From my previous exported BCM (Outlook 2003)).
ERROR : Something like "Outlook can't make the last action", and nothing
append, another thing is that, I must kill outlook process to get rid of that
pop-up (Cancel and BACK buttons doesn't work)
B) Restore Database into MSSQL Express 2005:
It seams that this last step is the right one, but, when the process is in
the middle of the migration, it stops, and shows a pop-up with something like
"You're not allowed to restore database, plese contact the owner (my self) of
the database, before restore" (This is not the exactly msg, but the meaning
is the same)
My last chance, is to backup database, with password, and try to restore
again, and see what append. No other clue for me, any help ??
Thxs,

4.BCM, Outlook 2003, and Exchange SBS 2003 will not co-operate
Hi there,
I am having trouble getting BCM v.1, Outlook 2003 SP2, and SBS 2003.
I've applied the patch. I've tried the hack. I create a new exchange
profile and it prompts me to install BCM for it. Then, just when
everything looks good, it crashes and tells me "Object reference not
set to an instance of an object." I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling
the BCM and Outlook. Nothing seems to work.
Please HELP!
5.SBS 2003 Premium + Outlook 2003 BCM
Is it possible to have Outlook 2003 Business Contact Manager's database be
utilized from the SBS SQL server rather than having to install the SQL
Desktop Engine on each workstation?
