Hello,

I am new to BCM, so my question may be a little be basic.

I am IT Manager for a mid-size company. Couple of weeks ago, we moved
a desktop machine from a room to another and discovered, out of a
sudden, that people in the sales departement were not able to access
their BCM anymore. We then understood that someone had instal the
software on this inapporpriate machine.

So last week, we decided to move BCM on one of our servers. I first
tought that BCM was a standard client-server software, the SQL
database acting as the server part. When I took a deeper look at the
desktop where the central database is located, I found that only a
small package of SQL Server was installed.

My questions are :

1. Is BCM a standard clients-server application (outlook = clients and
SQL = server) or a peer-to-peer application made of many outlook
instances ?
2. Can I install BCM database on a SQL Server instance and have this
instance deliver data to outlook clients
3. If so, do I need to install BCM on the "server" machine or can I
just mount the BCM database on the SQL Server?

Thank you for your help,
EBL
