First thing I'd try as an experiment is creating a new Mail profile in
Control Panel|Mail--set it to prompt you for a profile when Outlook
starts.
Start Outlook with the new profile, and during BCM first use wizard
choose to create a new database.
If that suceeds, then there's something amiss with your original
profile.
If that fails, then I'd start by testing that the database service is
accessible.
Is there a sqlserver.exe process running in Task Manager?
If yes, then try to get a list of databases from sql server, without
using BCM.
Type this at a command prompt:
sqlcmd -E -S "localhost\microsoftsmlbiz" -Q "select substring(name,
1,20), state_desc from sys.databases"
That should return a list of databases, or an error that hopefully
will indicate where the problem lies.
