Hi there,
If anyone can help, I would appreciate..
Excuse me for this long post : I'm giving all the configuration steps
and tests I've done to try to make this thing work ! In that way, we
will maybe not loose time testing basic things (if I didn't forget one
Some days ago, I managed to make it work on a dev environment and did
some successful tests with offline mode, I tried to reproduce on my prod
environment, I can't.
I tried to use the BCM DB admin tool to avoid installing outlook 2007 on
a server only for BCM 2007. The goal is to have one (actually, 2 or 3)
shared DB on my LAN, one for each business unit.
With the BCM DB admin tool, it didn't work. Now I'm trying with an OL
2007 to be sure, but it's still not working.
=> Each time I'm trying something new, I uninstall everything regarding
SQL server, BCM and so on - just in case, to be from scratch.
Here's what I've tested, there must be something missing, I don't know
what and I'm loosing my nerves with this tool
1) installed an OL 2007 on a W2K3 32 bits server. I ran everything on
this server with a domain administrator account, let say MYDOM\myadmin
2) installed the BCM from the Office CD #2 (english version)
3) created a DB called MYDB
4) I checked every checkbox talking about sharing the DB with other
people from other computer on my windows domain. I added my real-life
account to test : MYDOM\myname. So the installation process told me two
users would be able to access the DB : MYDOM\myadmin & MYDOM\myname. OK.
5) I deactivated the XP firewall before on the server, just to be
sure... I don't have anything else at network level preventing my client
PC to connect to this "BCM server" - see point 8 for further details.
6) I created one contact (in case it's working one day
7) on the client PC (logged on as MYDOM\myname, running XP SP2 + OL 2007
& BCM - french version, so it differs from the server, but I don't have
choice because some users are using EN outlook, some FR outlook), I
tried to connect to the_remote_server (I tried with the IP and so on)
I think when it worked on my dev system, it was with french Outlooks on
both sides. But I tried it again and couldn't manage to make it work
anymore...
====> It can't access it.
8) I verified the network things : I can ping, I can access network
shares on the remote server, I can telnet the_remote_server on ports
like 139 445 & 5356 which seem to be the only ones used by BCM 2K7.
I used netstat -an to be sure the server was listening on all net
interfaces available (which is the case : 0.0.0.0:5356/TCP and so on)
I also dumped the network traffic between these 2 hosts, I can see TCP
(maybe UDP I don't remember) on 139, 445 and 5356.
I checked the DB settings : TCP/IP port is 5356, for all network interfaces.
I can do a osql -E -S the_remote_server\MSSMLBIZ,5356 I get a comman
line prompt (I got this idea from a MS documentation - which is
outdated because talking about the 2003 version I guess (DB instance =
microsoftsmlbiz, port 56183)
=> so the network seems really OK.
===> What else can I do ?
I saw some messages on this newsgroup talking about OrgTable (and
others) that might contain incorrect flag (like a "this DB is
shared"-flag). I'd like to check this, but I can't connect to the local
DB via the SQL Srv Mnmgt Studio express. I'm using "windows
authentification" locally on "the_remote_server" with MYDOM\myadmin, I
can't log in
I tried many stupid things with sa DB account, I can't access neither....
How am I supposed to access this DB (which really exists, I can see that
from the BCM DB admin tool or when I uninstall because it asks me I must
remove my instance and DB)
Many thanks if someone can help
