    - install on win2k3 I've spent 3 days installing and uninstalling and rebuilding from scratch to get version 1.2 installed on a clean brand new dell 1750 running win2k3 with sql2k sp3a. No luck. Nothing but errors. I've been through every single knowledge base article and every single news group posting and followed every recommendation possible and cannot get this program to even install. Has anyone out there managed to install this on win2k3 running sql2k sp3a and have it work? I'm running a rock solid native windows 2000 domain, with a single exchange 2000 server. All servers are patched and uptodate and error free in their event logs. I've never seen anything like this. I've tried everything - even using a second identical server. I've re-downloaded 1.2 from MSDN several times to ensure its not corrupt. I install it from the local drive everytime logged on a domain admin - nothing... help Tag: PDA and MS CRM Tag: 12649

    - Retrieve AccountID? Anyone know how you can retrieve an accountID using the SDK? The idea of what I want to do is verify a contact's login against their account.. then want to create a case or modify a case in their account,, in order to create the case I need the accountID, but how do I retrieve this? Seems the Retrieve method of crmaccount REQUIRES the AccountID as part of the method. thanks in advance Tag: PDA and MS CRM Tag: 12638

    - Installing 1.2 and getting SQL error... Help! I am trying to install 1.2, but I cannot seem to get around it trying to create the CRM databases. I am installing on a 2003 Server and my SQL 2000 is running on 2000 Server. During the installation wizard I am able to connect to the SQL server and there is seems to be no difference on which account I setup, local, Domain, etc. The error occurs as soon as the installation starts and is as follows: Setup was unable to install Microsoft CRM Server. Setup was unable to create the Microsoft CRM databases. Failed to run script:00 - create mscrm.sql. HRESULT:80040E14 Unknown error. (80040E14) I don't think it matters, but this server had 1.0 installed on it and the databases for the installation were created to this same server just fine. I have uninstalled that version and deleted those databases since that installation did not work on 2003 Server. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance. Keith Tag: PDA and MS CRM Tag: 12625

    - Post CallOut and credentials Hello, We want to create a post callout for an activity phone call. In the post callout code we want to update a custom field called CFSlastphonecall on the account record that is associated with the activity phone call. The question that I have is how do we make sure that we are using the users credential infomation to update the account record. Normally the credential code I use to initialize the BizMerchant and User objects is like the following: // BizMerchant proxy object Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizMerchant merchant = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizMerchant (); merchant.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; merchant.Url = strDir + "BizMerchant.srf"; Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI(); But since this is running in COM+, the default credentials are the user that we configured in the com+ initailization settings, in this case (just to test out post call outs) we used our CRM Admin account. But if we do this then the account record that gets updated will have the lastmodified by field set to the crm admin account and not user who updated and saved the phone call activity. Is there a way to use the initiating callers crm credentials in the com+ settings or C# code? Thanks, - Jim Tag: PDA and MS CRM Tag: 12602

    - Microsoft Search Hi, I posted this in SQL newsgroup and got a suggestion of turning off MS Search; however, I wanted to make sure it's not needed by CRM before turning it off. I'm running 1.2 on a box with W2k3 Ent, SQL 2k, and Ex2k3. The past week I started noticing the hard drive and DVD-ROM lights lit up every sec nonstop. It just goes on forever. When I checked EV I found that MS Search was running every 15 minutes lasting 6 seconds each time. Is MS Search needed by CRM? I don't have anything else running on SQL except for CRM. Thanks so much. Tag: PDA and MS CRM Tag: 12601

    - Clone Addon not working with CRM 1.2 Attached is an add-on we were using with CRM 1.0 to enable the easy cloning of records. I can't get it to work with v1.2. Hopefully someone can look at it and tell me what's wrong. We clone account records mostly. The debugging I have done, indicates a duplicate record error when the create account routine is called. Maybe something to do with the address1 or address2 records linked to the account record???

Situation: - We worked with the sample database "Adventure Works Cycle" - Since Monday we have a new licence key that works only with our company name Questions: 1) How can I change the company name to get the key work? (I think this isn't possible...) Second Possibility: I installed the MS CRM Professional 1.2 (German) again with the right company name. But then the existing database cannot be connected, because it belongs to the Adventure Works Cycle company. 2) How can I connect the database with the new company? 3) Or how can I 'migrate' the existing MS CRM database to the new MS CRM database? I read parts of the DMT Guide... I could not believe that I have to do all of these complex steps to migrate data from CRM to CMR!?!? I only want to register MS CMR! Nothing else...

    - Activity -- problem opening existing Activity We are experiencing a problem when trying to open certain activities. The activity will not open and eventually we get a timeout. What we have found is that in the ActivityPartyBase table for these activities, instead of a few entries for the particular ActivityId, there are over 15,000 entries each with the same ActivityId but different ActivityPartyId values. It seems that the inability to open the activity in CRM is due to all those records in ActivityPartyBase. This is only happening periodically with a small number of activities and appears to be random. Has anyone seen this and does anyone know the solution to this problem? Tag: PDA and MS CRM Tag: 12577

    - Advanced Customisation Please advise if anyone has done anything like this before with MSCRM 1.2 Simple customisation of forms and views is OK. Option 2 is to write your own app based on the API. OK also. Option 3 though: I'll give you an example... On the Contract List form you have Tools/Advanced Find Option but if you go into the details of a single contract you lose the Advanced Find menu item. I would like to be able to hook up Advanced Find to this form. Has anyone done this sort of thing (not that particular customisation but that kind of customisation). I'm telling myself that they are just aspx pages so it should be no big deal, except for the fact that simple customisations are stored in xml files and therefore there is that added layer of complication. Any response would be appreciated. regards Mark Tag: PDA and MS CRM Tag: 12573

    - How do you Print Orders? Seemingly simple question here, but I cannot figure out the answer. Or at least the easy answer How do I print a complete order? I fill in products, quanities, recalculate values and now I want to print and fax the quote to the customer... If I hit the print button on the quote, it prints all info from each of the tabs on the account. It does not refer to the products or quantities. If I go to the product level, hit the print (on the individual window, not the main window) button, it prints the product(s) chosen, price per unit, quantity and extended amount for products that are on that screen (no write in products) and no information about the customer. Not very useful. If I change to the write in product tab, it does the same as above, ignoring existing product and customer info... If you promote to an Order, same deal. If you promote to an Invoice, same deal. Shouldn't that be a simple task? Thanks In Advance, Jim Tag: PDA and MS CRM Tag: 12546

    - CRM for international companies - multiple currencies Hi, Being an international company, our pricelists are in different currencies. MS CRM stores the currency on the Organization level and not on the Business Unit level, which essentially prevents our use of it. (1) Any suggestions for a way to overcome this problem (besides "translating" the EU, EMEA and US pricelist to one currency, e.g. dollars, or waiting for CRM 2.0) ? (2) I noticed that the database schema contains "Organization ID" for all basic tables. This probably means that multiple organizations can run on the same CRM server. Currently, I can't see any way to add another organization. Is this feature coming up ? This can solve the currency problem but probably create administrative and reporting problems (e.g. the CEO wants to see one pipeline report). Bottom line - Is support of multiple currencies in Microsoft's development roadmap ? Thanks, Jeff. Tag: PDA and MS CRM Tag: 12526

    - Data Migration Framework failed Hi, I tried to use the DMF to migrate simple data in the CRM. But it failed. It is a very simple scenario. I have a csv-File with only an AccountNumber and Name. I tried different cases. First the one above but it failed because the AccountID can not be NULL in the CDF database. Then I generate my own IDs but still no effect. So I tried to set the AccountID as identy row but again no success. Then I added a forth column in my source csv-file which has the OwningUserName in it. I fired the stored procedure to map the users. But the migration still won´t work. I get the data in the CDF Database but when I run the migration tool all completed with no errors but I have no data in my account table in the mscrm database. What is my fault? I tried this for such a long time but no success. Hope someone can help me. There are some spread sheets to do the mapping provided by Mircosoft but they need to be revised. They are some fields that are required but in the table of the CDF database this attribute is Nullable????? (e.g. OwningUser) Thanks in advance for help. Andy Tag: PDA and MS CRM Tag: 12525
