Shared Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007 database on an SQL 2005 Server

[Dhananjay]

I want to use Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007 and also want to have a shared BCM database. I have got an SQL 2005 server and I read that BCM is an SQL database and will install SQL Express 2005 on each computers if they are running the BCM locally. Is there a way to put the BCM database if we have a full SQL 2005. I was able to find the Database Admin Tool to install the BCM database on a computer that is not running Office 2007, but I dont know what I want to do for installation on an full version of SQL 2005? Is there anyone who can tell me of any artilce that could help me out with this issue? Thanks.

I think that the Business Contact Manager Database Admin Tool seems to be the tool for your remote installation and the requirements say that you need to also have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2 or Express, also letting you know that you can install it on an existing instance, the preffered way to find it out maybe to try it on a test machine with SQL server already installed. After once you have installed it you might have to share the contacts with others using this link - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...225191033.aspx

Thanks for the information, I will go through it and let you know if that rectifies my issue.

Since I see no further posts, is it safe to assume that Microsoft's Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager: Database Admin Tool did all that was expected without causing any problems on your SQL Server?
