MS SQL Setup and "Offline"

[Guest]

I'm assuming to setup BCM with SQL Server there is no option and I'll have to
copy my instance DB over to the server correct? Does it install a connection
string anywhere that I could modify?

Then, if I use MS SQL with BCM, can I have sales reps take a copy of the DB
offline? Or do I need to write my own offline/online scripts?

Hi Jason,

Microsoft does not support connecting BCM to a full SQL Server database.
BCM uses MSDE to create its own database structure, which is required to
reside on the computer that BCM is installed on. You can, however, share
this database with others over a local network with the recent BCM Update
(v2).

Don't know about the offline/online scripts, but to connect to BCM's database
you would use (local)\microsoftsmlbiz as the server name and
MSBusinessContactManager as the initial catalog.
