Outlook 2007, BCM, SBS2003R2 & Office Accounting 2007

[T Weitz]

Hello,

I want to install BCM remote database configuration on a SBS2003R2. Office
Accounting Pro 2007 is already installed on the SBS server and running an
instance of MSSMLBIZ database. Outlook 2007 is on the desktops, but BCM is
not installed.

Do I just install the BCM on the client and connect it to the MSSMLBIZ
database?

Will Office Accounting then BCM merge together or will there be issues
combining the contacts from Outlook to OA pro 2007

Since I am running R2, will the BCM database be available to our PDA's?

Thanks for helping me plan this deployment.

You'll have to create a BCM database in the MSSMLBIZ _instance_ first,
and then integrate the MOA database to the BCM database.

Ok, so
1. Create a new business contact manager database from within MSSMLBIZ.
2. Configure the new database
3. Share the new database

How do I integrate the MOA database with the new BCM database? Is that done
from within MOA?

THANKS!

Yes, there's an option in MOA to Integrate with BCM -- click on Company from
the main menu and a wizard will step you through it.

HTH,
Lon

Thanks. Right now I am having troubles setting up the database in the
mssmlbiz according to the steps provided in the white papers. As soon as I
can get that done, then this part should be a breeze.

Thanks
