Microsoft Business Contact Manager 2013, addiiton MSSQL NT Service accounts and Sysprep deployment on WIndows 7

Hi all,
I'm running into a problem when trying to sysprep and deploy a Windows 7 image with Business Contact Manager pre-install during the audit mode. Before anyone shouts, I have posted the main question in the Windows 7 deployment forum, but I would like some
additional help as to what the "NT Service" Accounts are for with regards to the BCM insatalltion
During the installation of BCM, we get an installation of MSSQL, and during this installation MSSQL creates three user accounts used by the "NT Service" account:
MSSQL$MSSMLBIZ
MSSQLFLDLauncher$MSSMLBIZ
ReportServer$MSSMLBIZ
When you run 'sysprep' with generalise option, and use the CopyProfile in the Specialise pass, sysprep copies the profile information from the last 'changed' profile. Whilst this should be the Administrator profile (as far as I can see), what is happening
is that the profile from 'ReportServer$MSSMLBIZ' is being used.
The rule of thumb when using the CopyProfile option is to ensure that only ONE account is present - i.e. the current administrator profile. The easy option is therefore just to delete the MSSQL accounts.
In the current state of play, even after I deploy the generalized image (with the copied 'ReportServer$MSSMLBIZ' account), I end up with only three users when looking at
"Manage --> Local User and Groups" (the Administrator, Guest (disabled) and HomeGroupUser$ user), so all the above "NT Service\MSSQL" accounts disappear during the sysprep process in any case.
I'm not sure what the effect will be on BCM for the end user. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be the best course of action.
Cheers
Chris

I don't suppose anyone has got any cluse about these users, what they do and how best to then deploy BCM as part of an image?

Business Contact Manager 2013

Where can I find or locate detailed installation, setup, and or configuration information for Business Contact Manager 2013?
Our existing shared database is located on a workstation but I would like to install and setup BCM Admin Tool onto one of our servers.
We have 25+ users accessing the shared database.

HI,
I am also having trouble with BCM/Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.
We were previously running BCM/Outlook 2010 with no problems at all. I then upgraded to OUtlook 2013 and BCM no longer worked. After many attempts and suggested remedies BCM 2013 is still not working.
The problem I currently have is that when outlook starts BCM is not there because the add-in has been disabled (both BCM for outlook and BCM loader for outlook add ins). I can go into the addins and enable them and BCM then works, but when I close
and re-open outlook the addins are once again disabled.
Also, when the addins are enabled and BCM is 'working', the BCM icon or title does not appear in the Peek bar (lower left hand side of outlook interface), I only get a folder.
I have tried the Regedit fix - no luck.
I have run the BCM2010-V4C-x86-en-US.exe patch - no luck.
I have installed the BCM 2013 tools on the server (shared db) - no luck
I have uninstalled all office and bcm instances from the machine and reinstalled only office and bcm 2013 (BCM2010-BCMSetup-x86-en-US) - no luck.
Can someone from Microsoft please assist with this issue as I have spent nearly 3 days trying to resolve it.
Thanks, Joe.

Business Contact Manager 2013 Contactmanagement wrong fields phone, mobile etc.

Hi,
we have a Problem on some PC's with the Contactview. The Background:
Database: SQL-Server 2008 Express (central Windows Server 2008)
Outlook: 2013
Contact Manager: Business Contact Manager 2013
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
We have started the Import/export-tool from the BCM and selected my old contactsfolder in Outlook. The importprocess runs without any Problems but ..
any PC's from my colleagues shows unter the Contactview wrong fieldnames on mobilephone- or any phoneentries with the same Outlook and OS.
In my case, i can see the right entry unter a contact for mobilephone like +49 12345678. The same contact shows the mobilephone with the fieldname like businessphone or Pager. I don't know why?
EDIT: In my case the contactview looks like the standard outlook contactsview. The View doesn't show any BCM fields like "Linked account" or "linked company". I'm gonna crazy ... BCM tab and navigation-pane are allready loaded in my outlook
profile...but the contactview shows the standard contactsview.
Any Ideas?
An answer will oblige.

Hi,

Business Contact Manager 2013 Issue with drop down menus not working correctly and BCM disappearing.

We upgraded from BCM 2007 to BCM 2013. Now the BCM disappears from Outlook occasionally and the drop down menus are confused. for instance when accessing the drop down for phone numbers, the user selects company - but the field for TTY/TDD comes up.
Shows fields that don't exist etc.
The client is using Office 2013 Pro Premium from Office 365 Small Business Premium subscription and BCM downloaded from Microsoft website.
Please let me know what the support avenues are for this product.
Chris Smith

Hi,
This issue may be caused since the BCM was not installed properly.
Please go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features, find Business Contact Manager for Microsoft Outlook and Uninstall it.
Then go to
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36513, download the right version of BCM(32bit or 64bit) and install it.
If issue persists, you may provide the screenshots of the issue, post them to SkyDrive and share it via a link:https://skydrive.live.com/, then we will have a better understanding on the issue.

CCME integration with Microsoft Business Contact Manager

Hi,
Can anyone tell me, if a CCME can be integrated with Microsoft BCM such that when a call comes in details of the client pop up, should they exist in the Business Contact Manager.
Finding exact information is like find a needle in a hay stack.
Regards
LN

Hi Swinster,
Apologize for the late reply.
What is your current situation? As JS2010 stated, also in this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2101557
During the 'Specialize phase' of Sysprep, Sysprep.exe looks at the Last Modified Date of the ntuser.dat file for each user profile to determine which user profile to copy to the default user profile. However, the earlier cleanup functions of sysprep.exe
loads each Ntuser.dat file to make security ID (SID)generalizations. You cannot predetermine which user profile will be copied if more than one user profile exists.
How about we skip the copyprofile option?
Further, see if the following article would help to customise the user profiles settings:
Configuring Default User Settings – Full Update for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
http://blogs.technet.com/b/deploymentguys/archive/2009/10/29/configuring-default-user-settings-full-update-for-windows-7-and-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx
Or we may consider seek help at the office outlook forum for the BCM deployment.
Best regards

How to install a Business Contact Manager 2013 database on SQL Server 2014

When I use the BCM Database Tool 2013 to create a database on a server, it doesn't pick up on any of my SQL Server 2014 instances. So far I can only get it to pick up SQL Server 2008 R2 instances in order to install the BCM database.
Someone mentioned that it works with SQL Server 2012, so is there any way to get it work on the 2014 version? I don't want to have to install 2008 or 2012 just for the sake of BCM.

event if 3355 means 3 things:
The SQL Server might be offline.
The SharePoint Foundation database access account might not have the necessary permissions to communicate with the SQL Server.
A firewall that runs on either the local server or on SQL Server might be blocking network communications.
Big question, how you trying to connect SQL windows or sql authentication? is it throwing error on Config wizard or somewhere else?
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

Microsoft Business Contact Manager for Mac?

I recently moved from PC to Mac and overall have had very few integration issues when working with my colleagues who are still PC based. My office recently upgraded to Office 2010 with BCM and even when I have added Office for Mac 2011, I do not have visibility or access to BCM with my Mac. Does anyone know of a way that I can integrate with BCM through my Mac?

Hi,
to my knowledge the BCM is an add-in for Windows-Outlook only.

Business Contact Manager Plugin does not install successfully in Outlook 2010 Professional Plus

I work for a company that has provided me with a volume licensed version of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. We do a lot of customer tracking so I looked into options to utilize Outlook and found out about the Business Contact Manager plugin. I tried
to download and install it from the public site but was informed that the public version would not work and that I would need to request a compatible version from my company that they could access through a contracted download portal.
I worked with support and they were able to locate the file and install it on my computer. Once I tried to start working with it though I found that there was no Business Contact Manager tab or any of the additional functionality that I needed.
I contacted support to follow up and they again tried several times to install the plug in, but although there was never any error message the installation also never resulted in the business contact manager tab being added or in any reference to it being
added to my list of plugins.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features, can you see any version of Business Contact Manager installed? If yes, please uninstall it first from there, then delete the registry keys below(if they exist):
ImportantThis
section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry
before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry,
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Back-up-the-registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Business Solutions eCRM
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\Business Solutions eCRM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Business Contact Manager
Then we can try performing a clean boot to install Business Contact Manager again. In Clean Boot Mode, it can eliminate the conflict by background programs as much as possible. Check if you can install it properly:

Business Contact Manager 2010 connection timeout?

In our company we want to use Microsoft Business Contact Manager. The computers in our local network can connect fine to the shared database, however we also have an user that connects over a VPN connection. This user is getting messages that the database is
not available when trying to access the remote database. Everything else over vpn is working fine.
Personally, I think it has something to do with a to low timeout setting, but I can't seem to change this anywhere for BCM. If I use a sqlcmd (sqlcmd -E -S 192.168.178.29\mssmlbiz,5356) to connect to the database and add a "-l 20" to increase the
timeout time, it works perfectly. But thats just a command, not the actual BCM connecting.
We already tried contacting microsoft for support, but they can't help us, since they do not officially support it. Hopefully somebody here knows a solution to increase the timeout for BCM so we can setup a connection :)
Here is a link to the screenshot of the error message: http://i.stack.imgur.com/2GAid.png

Hi,
You can connect to a Business Contact Manager server by using a VPN connection. However, the performance may not be satisfactory. Microsoft has not tested a configuration in which a user connects to a Business Contact Manager database by using a VPN connection.
Therefore, we do not recommend this configuration.
You can refer to this thread below, which seems to talk about the same problem:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/fbc8e91b-93bc-4c49-888f-7785b2a2680a/bcm-2010-cannot-find-shared-database-on-sbs-2008-using-the-bcm-tool?forum=outlook
I think catchacold's advice has helped many users, please check that out.
Or just follow this:
1.Open SQL Server Configuration Manager.
2.Expand SQL Server Network Configuration, and then click Protocols for SQLexpress.
3. Double-Click TCP/IP.
4.On the Protocol tab, verify that Enabled is set to Yes.
5. Click the IP Addresses tab, and then verify that IP ALL is configured for TCP port
5356. If the port is set to a value except for
5356, you can either change the port to 5356, or choose to keep the one that is currently set. If you have to use a port except for
5356 in order to avoid a conflict with another program that uses this port, follow the steps in the section "Use a non-standard port or instance name"
6.If it is necessary, change the port to 5356 and stop and restart the Business Contact Manager instance as prompted.

Business Contact Manager - migration 2010 to 2013

Hello,
I recently migrate my BCM 2010 database to 2013 following the link "Business Contact Manager for Microsoft Outlook 2013: Update for Upgrading from Business Contact Manager 2010".
At beginning everything went smoothly and I thought that everything has been migrated successfully.
Unfortunately, when I was checking my data more carefully, I found that some fields are now mixed up. This happened inside accounts and professional contacts forms.
The options and labels for fields email, address and phone are all mixed up.
Examples:
- Field email address, when selected "email 3", label changes to "work", this label belongs to address field.
- Field address, when selected "work", label changes to "email" that belongs to email field.
- Almost all labels are mixed up :(
Can somebody help my to find a solution for this issue....
Thank you
Regards
Abílio

Hello, we recently also migrated our BCM from 2010 to 2013 with the Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2013 Database Tool and all went also smoothly

Examples:
- Field email address, when selected "email 3", label changes to "work", this label belongs to address field.
- Field address, when selected "work", label changes to "email" that belongs to email field.
- Phone numbers: when selected "work", label changes to "Home"
- Almost all labels are mixed up :(
Can somebody please help us get this right again?

Office 365 Outlook 2013 and Business Contact Manager Performance issues

I have some slowness with Outlook 365 at times. Most of the times, Outlook will have to restart. I use Business Contact
Manager so I cannot turn off Exchange Cache. Are there some steps I can follow to troubleshoot? The problems started 7 days ago and seem to be getting worse.

Hi,
The Outlook slowness problem can be caused by many factors, one common cause is some 3rd-party add-ins. We can troubleshoot in Outlook Safe Mode first:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
We can also check the OST file size since large .ost files can also slow the performance of Outlook.
Make sure that offline OST file in Outlook isn't too large. A large OST file may indicate corruption or fragmentation of the file. This can affect performance.
In Outlook, right-click the mailbox in the navigation pane, and then click
Properties.
Click Folder Size, and then note the Total size value on the
Local Data tab.
Open the Outlook system folder by opening the following folder path, depending on the operating system:
Windows 7 or Windows Vista: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
Windows XP: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Note the size of the OST file for the user’s Outlook profile. If the OST file is more than 3 to 4 gigabytes (GB) larger than the
Total size value, the file may be corrupted or fragmented. Close Outlook, rename the OST file, and then reopen Outlook to re-create the OST file.
Some other troubleshoot steps can be found in this Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Business Contact Manager fails to install component Mssml.biz

Windows 8.1 with office 2013, attempting to install x.86 32 bit version of BC upgrade 2010. each install fails to install this component mssml.biz. Have attempted everything published on this problem i could find, clean install, run fix it, deleted everything
SQL in programs, cleaned out registry, reboot, installed SQL express as stand alone then BC, all fail with same error. Unit is 100% up to date on all patches.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your question here, I will be assisting you on this issue.
For getting a better understanding of what has got in the way of installation, we may need to collect installation logs during BCM Setup:
For Windows Installer Setup log
            drive:\setup.exe
/l*v c:\Setup_log_name
The MSDE Setup log
          MSDE Setup log is automatically created during Setup. You can find it under temp folder with
          name like
Msde_setup_number.log (Ex. Msde_setup_1108685580.log)
          click
Start, point to Run, type %temp%, and then click
OK.
- The MSDE configuration log
The MSDE configuration log is named Cnfgsvr.out. the Cnfgsvr.out log located one of the
           following
folders, depending on the version of BCM you are using:
              . Business Contact Manager:
                    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$MICROSOFTBCM\Install
             . Business Contact Manager Update:
                   C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$MICROSOFTSMLBIZ\Install
Please send the log through mail to:
[email protected]
As you’ve tried a lot trouble shooting steps already, let not repeating those steps till we have the log.
This Article is a detailed reference for log collecting and some trouble shooting steps which you might already tried.
Thanks for your understanding.
