Creating a New Database
 Previous Top Next

To create a new database launch the Administration Utility, Select File then Create new database, select the location where you want the database to be saved and give it a name.


Recommendations:
Save the database to a share or mapped drive on your Server or Peer to Peer network.
As the Email Client and additional administrators will need access to this file.

Make sure you set the .Net Security Policy. Otherwise you may receive an error message like this.

Error message:

An Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process Id:02a4 (676) Thread id=0x43c (1084)
(the numbers may be different)

If you receive this message it is probably because the Dencom Global Address Book Administration Utility has been installed into a directory on your Server. This occurs due the .Net Security Policy within Windows.

Resolution:

  1. Either reinstall the Dencom Global Address Book to a directory on your local hard drive.
  2. or Set the .Net Security Policy.

Setting .Net Security Policy

To adjust the security policy on your computer follow these steps:

Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Wizards Shortcut

graphic

Select "Adjust .NET Security"

graphic

Select "Make changes to this computer"

graphic

Select the Local Intranet Zone, change the level of trust to "Full Trust".
Select next, then close the window.

Making these changes will modify the security.config file located under c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\config. For the most part allowing execution of .NET code from a network drive does not present a major security risk.
