IBM xSeries 346 PCI slots

This is a picture of the PCI riser card in my IBM xSeries 346 8840-45u server

This tool allows administrators to host Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007 database on a computer on which Microsoft Office 2007 and Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007 are not installed. Once installed on a server, this tool will allow user to:


- Create and backup Business Contact Manager 2007 databases. To create a database, user must be the local administrator.

- Restore databases from Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007, Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2003 and Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2003 (Update).

- Share Business Contact Manager databases to other users on a local network.

It will ensure that necessary firewall ports are opened, that users are granted permission to the database, and that the SQL instance is configured to allow external connections. These operations will require the user be a local administrator.
