Cannot create a Business Contact Manager database - Database creation is unsuccessful

Your Business Contact Manager database uses Microsoft SQL Server Express, a smaller-scale version of Microsoft SQL Server. If the SQL Server service is not available, you cannot create a database. The SQL Server service might not be available for various reasons.

Use the following list of SQL Server scenarios to resolve your issue. Complete the procedure that most closely resembles your circumstances.

SQL Server issues

  • Start the SQL Server

    If you see any of the following messages, complete the procedure to start the SQL Server service.

    • Database creation is unsuccessful or failed.

    • Cannot create the Business Contact Manager database because the SQL Server service (the Business Contact Manager database service) is not running. Start the service, and then restart Outlook to display the Startup wizard again.

    • Cannot connect to the local Business Contact Manager database because the SQL Server service (the Business Contact Manager database service) is not running. You can connect to a Business Contact Manager database that is stored on a different computer.

    • Cannot start Business Contact Manager because the SQL Server service (the Business Contact Manager database service) is not running.

    Start the SQL Server service

    • Windows XP

      1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

      2. In Category View, click Performance and Maintenance.

      3. Click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Services.

      4. In the Services list, click SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ), and then click Start.

    • Windows Vista or Windows 7

      1. Click the Start button, and then click All Programs.

      2. Click Microsoft SQL Server 2008.

      3. Click Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.

      4. In the left pane of the SQL Server Configuration Manager window, click SQL Server Services.

      5. In the right pane, right-click SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ), and then click Start.

      6. Re-open Microsoft Outlook. You should now be able to connect to the Business Contact Manager database.

        For more information on Microsoft SQL Server Express, go to the Microsoft Support Web site, and consult the Knowledge Base.

  • Grant the user account that logs on to the SQL Server service permissions to access the Business Contact Manager folder

    By default, the SQL Server service logs on using the Network Service user account to access the Business Contact Manager folder to create a database. If a database cannot be created, it may be that the Network Service user account does not have permissions to log on to the SQL Server. The account must have read and write permissions to access the Business Contact Manager folder.

    The SQL Server service may use an account other than the Network Service user account to access the Business Contact Manager folder to create a database.

    Verify which user account logs on to the SQL Server

Cannot restore a Business Contact Manager database

I received a message stating that I cannot restore a database, because I was not authorized to back up or restore databases or because I am not the owner of the database.

Occasionally, after upgrading the operating system, the database owner is no longer recognized as the database owner. If you are not recognized as the database owner, to restore the database, you must be the administrator on the computer where you want to restore the database, and you must be running Outlook as an administrator. Do the following:

  • Ask your system administrator to add you to the Administrators group or add yourself to the Administrators group.

  • Run Outlook as an administrator.

How?

  1. Close Outlook.

  2. Click the Start button, and then click Computer.

  3. Double-click Local Disk (C:), to open your hard drive.

    Note:  If you have installed the stand-alone edition of TE000001059 or Microsoft Office 2010 to a different drive, browse to that location.

  4. Double-click Program Files, and then double-click Microsoft Office.

  5. Double-click Office 14.

  6. Right-click the Outlook icon, and then click Run as administrator.

You can now perform all administrator tasks in Outlook, including restoring a Business Contact Manager database.

SQL Server does not install or start

I received a message stating that Microsoft SQL Server has not been installed

The Business Contact Manager database is built using Microsoft SQL Server. Without SQL Server, you are not able to use Business Contact Manager for Outlook. For assistance with SQL Server, go to the Microsoft Support Web site, and consult the Knowledge Base.

The SQL Server service did not start automatically

In most cases, SQL Server, which is installed with Business Contact Manager for Outlook starts automatically. Business Contact Manager for Outlook will not start if the SQL Service does not start.

I want to use Business Contact Manager for Outlook with a different SQL Server Express instance name

If your Business Contact Manager database is on your local computer, as opposed to it being shared from a remote computer, the supported SQL Server Express instance name is MSSMLBIZ. Other instance names are not supported.

Rather than trying to use Business Contact Manager for Outlook with an unsupported instance name, install another SQL Server Express instance and name it MSSMLBIZ. The SQL Server Express instance should log on using the built-in Network Service user account.

To verify that the SQL Server instance logs on using the Network Service user account, complete the following procedure:

  1. Click Start, and then click All Programs.

  2. Click Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and then click Configuration Tools.

  3. Click SQL Server Configuration Manager.

Workgroup issues only

I received a message stating that the remote user account I am looking for could not be found

In workgroup environments, you must have a user account on the computer on which the shared database is located. Check with the administrator of the remote computer to confirm that your user account exists.

I restored a shared database, but users cannot access the database.

If you have restored a database that was previously shared from a different computer, the old user names and passwords will not be recognized by the new computer. You must stop sharing the database and then share it again after you have restored it. In the process of sharing it again, you can then add users to access the database. See Share your Business Contact Manager data with other users.

I received a message stating that verification of my remote user account has failed.

Verify with the administrator of the remote machine that Simple File Sharing is not enabled and that the database is shared with you.

I received a message stating the following: Logon failure: user account restriction.

The computer on which the database is located may not allow blank passwords, may have logon restrictions by hour, or may have a policy that restricts the frequency of password changes that are allowed. Consider asking the administrator to reset your password manually.

I received a message stating that the password does not meet password policy requirements.

The computer on which the database is located may have password policies that require a minimum password length or special characters to be included in a password, or password history may be tracked to ensure pre-existing passwords are not reused. Consider asking the administrator to change your password manually.

I received a message stating that Business Contact Manager for Outlook could not change my password

  • Your remote account may have been locked out. This issue can occur if you type your remote password incorrectly and the security policy is configured to lock out user accounts after a set number of failed logon attempts. The administrator may need to reset your password.

  • Your remote account may be unavailable. Consider asking the administrator to reset your password.

  • Your remote account may have the User must change password at next logon setting enabled. You cannot use the remote password change functionality for Business Contact Manager for Outlook if this setting is enabled. Either ask the administrator of the remote computer to disable this setting on your remote user account, or to manually reset your password.

  • Your remote account may have the User cannot change password setting enabled. The administrator must manually reset your password or disable this setting on your user account.

  • If you have a blank password, the use of blank passwords for network authentication may be disabled. We recommend that you use non-blank passwords to access Business Contact Manager remote databases.
