BCM Requires Administrative Privillages

[ludde85]

Hello everyone,

Thankful for everyone who's active here, have already goten a lot of
help.
I've successfully set up BCM on a Win2003Server and have 4 clients with
XP SP2. Updated and a shared database created on the server with all
users added.

On problem left,

When I give the clients administrative privileges everything works
fine.
But when I remove the privileges users get a message saying "The
Database For Business Contact Manager could not be read", "Login failed
for user MYDOMAIN\MYUSER". (Roughly translated, using Swedish OS).
Tried adding a BCMUser group and adding the users on multiple placed,
didn't help..

Anyone got any ideas?

Many thanks,

Regards
Ludvig Thunman

Tried adding a BCMUser group

This was a v1 feature and should have no impact on shared databases.

MYDOMAIN\MYUSER has to have connect permissions in the BCM database and
be a member of the database's bcm shared_users (can't remember the
exact name offhand) group. The sharing wizard should have done that
automatically, but you can verify what users and groups are in the
database.

If that's in order, then can MYDOMAIN\MYUSER connect to the database
from their client using osql? That may give you a better error message
than BCM. Perhaps a firewall is blocking the TCP port?
