BCM on a server
J. Walker 3/21/2007 5:55:30 PM
We have MS Office 07 with BCM. I would like to set up a database on one of
our servers which uses Windows Server Enterprise Ed. 2003. According to a MS
document I found online, Enterprise is not listed as a supported
installation, only Small Business Server is. This lengthy doc explains to
type a bunch of SQL commands on the server, but I read on this forum MS is
releasing a database tool to simplify this process. Where can I find this
tool? Or is there an easier way of installing BCM on a server?

I too would like to store the database on a small business server, however
getting any information about how to do this is not easy. Is there anyone who
has done this?

Here's your solution to creating that remote database!

Microsoft has just released the SQL Database Admin Tool that will
automatically create a BCM database on your server. Check out the link
here:
