Migrate Business Contact Manager to Office365

Hi, I've today been told by presales at Microsoft that Business Contact Manager BCM is available to download and will work with the MS Office365 O365 Business Premium Plan.
We're about to migrate a client currently on MS Office 2007 and heavily using BCM and also shared mailboxes to MS Office365.  
What is the migration path for their BCM data?  What is the preferred way to migrate their shared mailboxes?
Thanks
( the link to download BCM seems to be http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=36513)

For mailbox migration to Office 365, the right place is Office 365 forum:

If you have a Business Contact Manager database that was created with an earlier version of the Database Tool, you can use the Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2013 Database Tool to migrate the database so that it will be compatible with Business Contact
Manager for Outlook 2013. For example, if you created a database in Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2010, you can use the Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2013 Database Tool to migrate that database.
Open
the Database Tool.
Click the Migrate a database option, and then click Next.
In the Database Server Instance list, select the SQL Server instance to which you want to migrate your database, and then click
Next.
In the Database Name list, click the name of the database that you want to migrate, and then click
Next.
When the Task completed successfully message appears, click
Next.
Click Finish if you want to return to the Welcome page of the wizard to complete other tasks, otherwise click the
Close button.

  • 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
    except we now have the same problem as Abílio, meaning the fields are 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.
    - Phone numbers: when selected "work", label changes to "Home"
    - Almost all labels are mixed up :(
    Can somebody please help us get this right again?

  • 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.

  • How could I install outlook with business contact manager 2007 in windows 8.1 system?

    Recently I got a new 8 win pc, then I tried to instal Outlook with business contact manager 2007 but I couldn´t
    The reason: sql server is not compatible. Would you please let me know how to fix that problem?

    Hi CarlosZC,
    Since the issue regards Outlook with business contact manager 2007. I suggestion you post the question in the Outlook forums at
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/outlook?tab=question&status=all&auth=1. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
    According to your description, we need to verify the version of the SQL Server, usually the warning of compatibility issues applies to all SQL Server Express editions when installing Business Contact Manager (BCM) 2007 on Windows 7/8. The incompatibility
    was fixed in SQL Server 2008 Service Pack1 and SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 on Windows 7.
    There is a similar issue about compatibility message when installing BCM 2007 on Windows 7, you can review the following article.

  • How to manage a data file using Business Contact Manager database tool

    I set up BCM on my desktop and now want to share with the rest of the office. I downloaded BCM database tool on the C drive
    of the server and all was well until I tried to move through the wizard. The only option that gets me to a data file is creating a database. However, I receive the error message "Cannot create a new database. The operation has been rolled back. Please
    make sure the database service is running". How can I make this work? Truthfully, I don't want to create a new database - I have already set one up; Restore only gives me the database server instance but no choices for the database name list. I have installed
    BCM on another co-workers desktop and allowed the database to be shared with her. What more am I missing? Why can't I get the server to see the data file?

    Hi,
    If the Database has not been shared, you can't connect to it.
    Please also confirm you have been granted permission to access the shared Business Contact Manager database.
    You can refer to this article below and there are some factors that you should consider:
    Business Contact Manager cannot connect to the shared database

  • Can I use Business Contact Manager in Outlook 2011 on my Macbook Pro?

    I just switched from a PC to a Mac and use the Office Suite for work, so I installed the Office 2011 for Mac. We use Business Contact Manager to manage our contacts and conversations at work (mostly for records of email exchanges and phone conversations), but I can't seem to figure out a way to install that add-on in the Mac version of the Office Suite. Any suggestions?

    Why would you use two?
    It is much cheaper and better to simply use a usb drive..
    The TC cannot be linked to store files or automatically back them up.. whereas a usb drive at least will be backed up by Time Machine.
    If you want to do this properly get a real NAS.. that has mirrored drives and real rsync type backup. You can use an airport extreme for wireless.

  • 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
    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 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,

    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:

  • Removing Business Contact Manager BCM from my Lenovo IdeaCentre K210

    I am trying to load Office 2003 on my K210.  It appears the pre-loaded trial version of Office 2007 is causing a conflict... "BCM Office Addin - Office Application Version does not match".  My research says i should uninstall the Business Contact Manager (BCM).  I am trying to uninstall BCM but need more help...

  • Business Contact Manager Standalone Database

    We are wanting to deploy a BCM database between three users.  Can that database function without Outlook on a server or do you have to have Outlook installed on that server to utilize it for the DB?
    We aren't needing Outlook on the server as nobody would access it.

    Hi,
    The server does not need to have Microsoft Office or Business Contact Manager for Outlook installed, but it must have a supported version of Microsoft SQL Server installed. You can use the Business Contact Manager for Outlook Database Tool to do that.
    Please refer to Manage your Business Contact Manager database on a server:

  • Business Contact Manager

    I have the 2010 version of Outlook and BCM on my office and home computers, both running Windows 7. I want to set up a database so that I can access from either location. I have created the database on the Office PC, but cannot locate either the Home PC
    as shared user, or the Office PC as remote user. 

    Hello Dave,
    You are right, BCM has been tested only in local network.
    Please find excerpt from following article
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953745/en-us
    Unsupported scenarios
    In Business Contact Manager, databases were designed and   tested to be shared over a Local Area Network (LAN) in a domain or in a   workgroup environment.
    Microsoft does not support sharing Business   Contact Manager databases in the following scenarios:   
    You connect to a Business Contact Manager database over the Internet. In this case, Internet refers to public networks that are external to a corporate network or home office network.
    You use a virtual private network (VPN) or dial-up connection to connect to a Business Contact Manager server.
    Some potential problems with the previous scenarios include the following:
    Inability to control whether required ports will be available between the Business Contact Manager server or client
    Poor performance because of bandwidth or latency when you access or synchronize large Business Contact Manager databases
    You share Business Contact Manager databases across versions. In order to share a database, both the Business Contact Manager server and client must be running the same version of Business Contact Manager.
    Note Business Contact Manager databases are separate from Exchange   stores. An Exchange store cannot access Business Contact Manager databases and   Exchange cannot pull data from a Business Contact Manager database. In   addition,
    you cannot access Business Contact Manager databases through Outlook   Web Access.
    Please let me know if you have additional questions.
    Regards

  • 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.

  • Building an ODBC connection to Outlook Business Contact Manager database.

    I am trying to build an ODBC connection to our Outlook Business Contact Manager.
    It is SQLEXPRESS.  Do I use the More Data Connections Outlook option?  If so, I tried and it prompts me to install something, which I do not believe I have?  Any suggestions?
    Thank you,

    If you are using ODBC then you need to create a DSN in the ODBC administrator first. Then in Crystal select ODBC (RDO) under create new connection, this will list all of your ODBC DSNs.
