bcm >> Remote access to Outlook 2007 BCM on SBS 2003

by SWFuQw » Thu, 15 Feb 2007 07:10:05 GMT

The answer to these questions should be simple to find but I have been
searching for hours...

1. Can we access BCM data remotely? How is this done and how is it set up?
How does the remote client user actually access the BCM data?

2. Can the BCM data be stored on our SBS 2003 server? How is this done and
how is it set up?

I know elements of these questions have been dealt with before but nowhere
can I find a simple overview of remote acces which must nowdays be a very
common requirement.

Thanks

Remote access to Outlook 2007 BCM on SBS 2003

Mukesh

Thanks for your reply. I have read the info and see it is possible to
install a shared BCM SQL database on SBS2003.

Once that's done though how can we access this remotely, from outside the
network. Currently we use OWA but I don't think that supports BCM. Obviously
we could use VPN but our experience has been that it is too slow and
difficult to set up. Is there another way of accessing the shared database?

Regards

Ian

1. Remote Access and Outlook Web Access on SBS 2003

I am absolutely exasperated with Microsoft regarding a lack of a decent 
quick-fix Wizard for Remote Access on SBS 2003, not to mention the insistence 
on "passport" names & passwords to access newsgroups and Knowledgebase 
articles, which require new/changed passwords.

I have a client whose SBS 2003 server has 1 (yes, I know MS doesn't like it) 
one NIC card, which is connected behind a D-Link DI-524 router (directly 
wired, not wireless).  I have updated its firmware to the latest version.  
Though I have enabled open ports (in the router) for 443, 444, 1723, and 4125 
to go to the server (locally at 192.168.0.2) from the router (locally at 
192.168.0.1), and though I can connect to the router (at <external IP>:8080), 
I have been entirely unable to connect to server for Outlook Web Access or 
Remote Access.  My local IP is 172.16.0.34, so duality of local subnets is 
not the problem.  The ISP is a fixed-IP T1 line, and the DNS and Gateway 
entries are correct.  I have run and re-run CEICW, without success, including 
turning off and then turning on access.

I am not incapable of reading instructions, but this is trying my patience.

3. Remote access to BCM 2007

I work for a small sales organization with 3 guys on the street.  We need 
remote access to BCM database that would be stored on a server at a central 
location.  Only one person administors the database, the other two are out of 
state without direct access to the server.

Can we sync BCM through the VPN to the server?  The server's OS is XP Pro 
v2002, SP2 with Office SmBiz 2003 while the laptop's use Vista, Office Sm Biz 
2007.  Any compatibility issues?

Any help will be appreciated!!

5. Outlook/BCM 2007 on SBS 2003

Hello,

On an existing SBS 2003 (Exchange, DC) server I have installed MS Outlook 
2007 Beta 2, as well as Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007. The 
installations went without any problems, and the server was rebooted.

Outlook was not configured for any email accounts, just personal folders. 
When I launch Outlook, the following happens:

1) Cannot complete the selected action because an unknown external error 
occurred.

2) Business Contact Manager has encountered a problem and needs to close.

The second error asks to send a report. I briefly examined the error event, 
and it contains this:

EventType bcm, P1 addin, P2 mapiexception, P3 3.0.5218.10, P4 
12.0.4017.1006, P5 outlookmapisessionlogoncomplete, P6 allocatebuffer, P7 
0e71ff91, P8 NIL, P9 NIL, P10 NIL.

Outlook keeps running after I click away the above errors. Also, I can run 
Outlook without any errors if I remove the BCM data file. However, As soon as 
I try to do anything BCM-related in Outlook, the same sequence of errors 
happens.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi,

How do I share my BCM database on SBS 2003 so my co-workers and I can see

isn't always on the network?
