Business Contact Manager and Exchange

[Guest]

I recently configured an outlook profile that was using a pop account with an
Exchange 2003 account. I added the Exchange account and imported all the pst
information. I didn't do anything with the contacts under Business Contact
Manager.When I tried to use my Business contact manager it wouldn't open and
indicated that it wasnot compatible with Exchange 2003. The message indicated
that I would need to create a new profile.Does Business contact manager not
work with Exchange ?

No, it does not. It will work with a SBS exchange account. Here is a page
with a fix for the incompatibility:

IMHO, a rather silly decision from Microsoft but they do have their reasons.
One of them being support nightmares, if the news groups are any indication.
