    - Policies Please Help!!! Hello, I will try to be clear but I have a very strange problem with the CRM policies. My Business Units are like this: Root: Organisation Depending on Root: IT Department Depending on IT Dep. : Dev Team Depending on IT Dep: Operations Depending on Operations: Support The pb is that I want that Cases created by Support BU are only read access to Dev Team, not write. I give Dev Team write access only to their BU but they can still write in cases created by Dev Team. It is only if I assign the case to someone at Operations BU (so at the same level as Dev Team) that Dev team cannot write in the case? Is there something I am missing here or I don't understand how scope in working... Thanks for your help Eric Tag: Configuration requirements. Tag: 46902

    - PLS ADVISE REGARDING MERGING LEADS Pls help, If I've already merged two leads together with v1.2 through the multi-field search option, is there a way I can "unmerge" the lead. Apparently if there is something in both fields (ie Subject) the one that I merge to will stick, however the merged one will not carry over that field. Also, as far as utilizing the "RELATED TO" tool for contacts and leads, how would I go about viewing that there is a "link" or related to a specific contact. thanks for your help.

    - integrate phone call activities to outlook Those cusotmers that rely on Outlook for managing their CRM activities (which is the direction Microsoft is going, which is great) do not use phone call activities in CRM because these do not integrate into outlook tasks and they do not get reminders on those.

    - Quote product mapping I am trying to map the description field under the product form (field name 'description') to a custom field on the quote products form (field name 'productdesriptiondetail') and I am having difficulty making it work. I first tried by adding this map under the existing 'QuoteDetail' map under the Quote schema, but when the quote product item is saved, the description does not come through. I thought this would work because this is the area where I created the custom attribute. I then tried to create a new custom map under the Product schema to the QuoteDetail and that did not work either. I have tried to find the mapping that brings the unit price from the product to the quote product, but I have not been able to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - subaccounts opps/cases/contracts rollup It would be great to have a rollup associated view displaying all opportunities, cases, contacts and contracts linked to any subaccount (any number of levels down) of the account you are on. Currently you have to deal with pockets of sales and service information for any account that has subaccounts. It is typically an executive type user that would need a quick overview of everything that is going on in the national account and you cannot expect this user to go around and check all subaccounts to get the picture.

    - Really odd problem sending e-mail from CRM Hi there! I had just installed a new CRM and wanted to test e-mail functionality. After installing Exchange Connector on my Exchange box, making sure the registry keys are ok and both machines (CRM and EXC) are visible to each other... I tried to send an e-mail from CRM and it worked. So did the second message and the third, *but* the fourth failed. Event log on CRM box shows only a "general platform failure" and on the Exchange machine I got a " failed to deliver to all servers" error. Odd, isn't it?

    - Emailing Routing in Mixed Environment We are setting up CRM 1.2 in a mixed NT4 (Exchange 5.5) and AD (Exchange 2003) environment. I need a little help setting up the email routing. I set it up according to scenario 2 (page 72 of the Implementation Guide) which involves a separate subdomain for the CRM Exchange server. Here is the behavior as indicated on page 75: In each of these scenarios, Microsoft CRM users and queues send messages from the Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 server by using the Microsoft CRM subdomain (user@crm.adventure-works.com). Replies to these messages are handled in one of two ways: * If the reply message is to a Microsoft CRM user, the message is forwarded to the Exchange 5.5 organization and appears in the Microsoft CRM user's Exchange 5.5 mailbox. Because the Microsoft CRM user is not an Active Directory user, no Microsoft CRM e-mail activity event will be created on the Microsoft CRM server by the Router. * If the reply message is to a Microsoft CRM queue, the message is accepted by Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 and delivered to the mailbox of the Microsoft CRM queue on Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003. An e-mail event is posted to the Microsoft CRM server by the Router. Is there any way to have the best of both worlds and allow replies to users appear as email events and also route back to the Exchange 5.5 server? What we don't want is to have the CRM users be forced to check two mailboxes: their primary Exch 5.5 and the new Exch 2003. If not, is it common practice to set up all users as queues in this type of coexistence setup? Thanks in advance!! Tag: Configuration requirements. Tag: 46853

    - Order Process? Hi, Our Sales/Customer person is dismayed by the amount of clicking required to sell a product. We just want to sell things, not play with the mouse in CRM. Is there a way to get the Product field into the Order form and start with a product? Why doesn't the price list limit the choice of products available, like the products tied to that price list? Is CRM designed to start with a Quote, rather than an Order? We don't really need to advance Quotes. Can WorkFlow rules help simplify a sale? Such as -Chose Product, Quantity, Account >Create Order, Create Invoice. Instead of-Name Order, Chose Customer, Chose Price List, Save, Navigate and Chose Product (from a full list of products instead of just the price list items), Navigate and chose Unit, Quantity>Save. Seems kind of excessive to the sales person and to me as well. Thanks for any help or suggestions. Sincerely, Tag: Configuration requirements. Tag: 46795

Made sure I was using the user that installed CRM which does seem to have full rights in CRM. 2. Made sure the user is a domain admin. 3. Made sure the user has a license. 4. Made sure the databases were not set to restricted. 5. Beat the CRM server with hammer 3 times while screaming at the top of my lungs.

I've been told by Microsoft that the hardware/software requirements for 3.0
have not changed from 1.2 (You can learn more about 1.2 requirements at
technet:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/mscrm/mscrm12/plan/04_PlnDp.mspx#EDAA ). They also said that 3.0 will run on SQL 2005.
