Business Contact Manager did not connect to the shared Database.

Question

I followed Outlook help instructions however when I looked for MSSQL$MSMLBIZ it was not on my list under Services.  Where do I get it and how? 

1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
2. Double-click Services and Applications to expand the list.
3. Double-click Services.
4. In the Services window, click MSSQL$MSMLBIZ.   COULD NOT PROCEED BEYOND THIS POINT.
5. In the Status column, verify that the MSSQL$MSMLBIZ service is not started.
6. Click Restart the service.
7. Close the Computer Management window, and then start Outlook

Please advise if you can help.  Thanks.  bjdade

Answer 1

Can you have a look once again and see if something exists in this format  - SQL SERVER (MSSMLBIZ) and try starting that ?

Answer 2

Yes, outlook 2007 business contact manager uses a SQL Server 2005 database for storing its data. In this case, the instance name should be with the format like "SQL Server (instance_name)". Please check it again.
