Is it possible to use a remote instance of SQL Server 2012 with BCM/Office 2013?

I have a BCM database running on SBS 2008/SQL Server 2008.

I want to move the database to a new install of Server 2012 and SQL Express 2012.

Is this possible?

I've successfully attached a backup of BCM to the new server but I cannot connect to it.

What server-side configurations are necessary to make this work?

Thanks,

Ken
 
Diane,

Thank you so much! Doing this made it work: "Right click on TCP/IP and select Properties then select IP Addresses tab. If the IP All-> TCP Port is blank, set it to "5356" (high enough so that no other services are likely using it) and restart the SQL instance."

Thus far it seems that everything is working correctly.

Thanks,

Ken
 
Diane,

Do you know if BCM will run in an Azure SQL instance?
 
No. BCM won't run in SQL that is outside of the network. If you can VPN in, it will work.. but I don't think you can VPN into Azure.
 
FYI, I have BCM running on SQL Express 2014.
 
Cool. Did you need to do anything special to make it work?
 
Nope. Pristine install of Server 2012 and SQL 2014 and enabled port 5356.

Confirmed that Azure isn't gonna work for this any time soon.
