Can anyone help me with this one....

I have a single BCM database on my SBS 2003 server..., with approx 20 users
accessing it.... Everything works fine...

The other day I added a couple of new users to the network... I then when
into the Share database option within Outlook (BCM section, logged in as
administrator who is the owner of the database) and ticked the new users to
have access to the exist database...

It started to run and then failed saying it could not add the users... I
tried this a couple of times and each time it failed...

If I then grant the new users "admin" status on the domain they are given
access to the database..!!..., soon as I take the admin right away we are
back to square one...

Can any one tell me what I need to do to get the normal "grant a user
access" method working as it is not viable to have our users as admin
equiv...

Thanks

Colin
 
Luther - can you help me? I'd like to add a user from my second computer to
the BCM database on my first computer (the server). Not sure what the user's
name is or how to add it to the list of users with access. Thanks

Go to the BCM menu and share your database. That runs a wizard. One of
the wizard pages will ask who you want to share the database with.
There will be a button to add a user. Add a user with the same name
and password as the user on your second computer. That user will then
be able to share the database.

The user on the second pc can then create a new Outlook Mail profile,
and select the database on the first machine. Or, if they are already
using BCM on the second machine, they can change their database (via
the BCM menu) to the database on the first machine.

The user on the second computer must have a user name and password,
otherwise that user is not considered "secure" enough to access BCM.
Also, you need to know the name of the first computer with the
database. If naming users and machines is new to you, you should seek
assistance from someone knowledgeable about these issues. You may run
the risk of exposing your machine to unscrupulous persons on the look
out for unsecured computers on the internet.
