    - CRM speed sometimes very slow Hi, were using CRM 3.0 in our company. Its installed on a Windows 2000 SP4 server with an Athlon XP 2000+ and 2 Gigs of Ram. We have only 2 people using CRM, so the server shouldnt be that busy ;) ... In most cases our CRM runs very smooth, page loading times don't exceed 1 second. But sometimes, it takes about 30 seconds or longer to open a page, no matter what page you click. I have done a lot of investigation myself. The caching tool is already installed, i have raised the maximum HTTP-connections to 10 and i have modified the stage.js so that HTTP headers exire immediately. What else can i do? Maybe its the SQL server causing those slowdowns? Thanks for your help! Philipp Ritter Tag: Environment test before CRM 3.0 installation. Tag: 85643

    - Linking Accounts and Contacts during Import Can anyone tell me if it is possible to link accounts and contacts when they are being imported into CRM? My scenario is as follows: - I have a list of contacts who all work for Account ABC - Account ABC has one primary contact I wish to import the account details for Account ABC and all of the contact records. I then would like all of my contacts to have Account ABC displayed in the Parent Account field of their contact record. I would also like all of the contacts to be listed in the Contacts section of Account ABC and for the Primary contact field to be populated on the Account ABC record. I understand that this can't be completed using the Bulk Import, and I have used the GUID export method to bring in the primary contact on the account record, or to bring in the parent account field on the contact record. However, I can't see how to populate both the primary contact field and the parent customer field. Would the Data Migration Framework or a third party tool (Scribe?) be able to achieve this for me? Thanks in advance, new2CRM Tag: Environment test before CRM 3.0 installation. Tag: 85642

    - entity mapping to copy notes on leads to contacts and accounts Two of our customers complained that notes on leads do not get copied to the new contacts and accounts when the leads get promoted. As I have learned that Microsoft sees notes as part of the entity I would like to suggest the following. The customizer of a Microsoft CRM system should be able to define a mapping of the notes in the relationships between the originating lead and the newly created contact and company. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Price List - Pricing methods Hi group, my question is about Pricing methods in Price List Item entity. I clearly understand the purpose of the field itself, but options "Precent Markup..." and "Percent Margin..." mislead me. I tried playing around with it and I perfectly understand what the "Percent Markup..." option does (please, correct me if I am wrong: resulting price = price + % of the price), but it's the "Percent Margin..." which I don't understand. Another not understandable thing is that I can use only values from 0,00 to 99,99 for the margin percentage. This could be more linguistic problem since English is not my mother-toungh, but translation I get from various dictionaries of words "margin" and "markup" mean exactly the same in my mother-toungh (Russian). Reading CRM Help doesn't really help here, cause the description of the options are totally equal to me. So... if you are in a mood to explain this to me I would be very much obliged :) Regards, Jevgenij Tag: Environment test before CRM 3.0 installation. Tag: 85608

    - Authentication Error When Working Offline With CRM We have a user that will receive an Authentication Error when working Offline with the CRM Client. It's the same error that appears when you try and access CRM with a disabled or non-existent account. When the users Goes Online with CRM everything works fine. It sounds like it happens when the user is browsing the CRM folders and starts switching between folders then it will appear. Hitting Try Again a few times eventually brings the page up but then the error comes back soon after. IE is setup ok, no kerberos errors nothing out of the ordinary. I had turned on tracing and it did report a SQLTimeout Error. The user is running SQLExpress with the CRM V3C client with all patches applied. Is it possible to increase the connection timeout period on the local client? Maybe this would solve the problem. Tag: Environment test before CRM 3.0 installation. Tag: 85584

    - Hotfix workaround (KB 911022) Unbelievable... I was hoping that rollup2 was going to address the crazy workaround for KB 911022 (restricting users from printing/exporting data) but it hasn't. Is anyone as up in arms as I am about this? In case you aren't familiar with this KB, it provides a way (whether you want it or not) to restrict user's ability to print or export certain data they see in a report. Their solution? ...create an alternate DB, copy your db (minus the things you want exported) over to this alternate DB, then change a registry entry. The end user can easily change a record, and want to print out or export a listing, but that won't be updated until this "alternate DB" is replicated from the original CRM database. 30 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 minutes, or whatever you are willing to sacrafice for time in between replication is apparently the only way to go. If I am way off base in my anger about this one, or if I have misunderstood this KB from the get-go, please feel free to correct me. -- Sketchy Tag: Environment test before CRM 3.0 installation.

    - Outlook's CRM Email (Category / Sub Category) We are in the process of moving from 1.2 to 3.0 and I've noticed a great discrepancy between the two versions when it comes to the Outlook integration. Previously the form for creating a new CRM email would be the same web form that was used by the web interface, which included among other things the category and sub category. Every one of our emails has a category, in fact we had to manually adjust the aspx file on every client because the subjects come from a pick list. Is this a glaring hole in Microsoft's new CRM?

Hi.

Is is possible to run the environment test without running the CRM app
server setup?

I would like to know if everything is in place before I run the
installation.

(I'm waiting for the license key and CD kit, and would like to use the
waiting time to prepare the server)

Thanks

No, but when you run installation, it first check through environment
diagnostic wizard. so no need to worry. just run the MS CRM Splash screen
wizard.
