Default Website folder
Can anyone help me with this?
The CRM website didn't show up when I installed MS CRM.
Tech support helped me change the port number so that it
would display.
But, now my company website doesn't come up on the CRM
server. How do I reinstall CRM website into a different
default folder.

Delete e-mail activity under workplace = delete activity on the contact?
Situation: If I send an e-mail to a person (Let's assume he is Mr. A) in
CRM contact, normally, we can find that e-mail activities under "Activities"
of "Workplace" or we can find related activities in Mr. A's contact (Mr. A's
contact--> Activities-->History).
Here is the issue, if I delete the Mr. A's e-mail activities under
workplace, it will also delete the e-mail activity history on his contact.
My boss was told that there is some methods to avoid this (i.e. The e-mail
activities history of Mr. A can be saved to his CRM contact locally and we
can still delete the activity under workplace). Isn't it true?

Accounts & Sub-Accounts
Hello,
I have create 2 accounts. One of those accounts is actually the sub-account
to the other account (the parent). In the sub-accounts section of the
accounts screen, I can only create a new sub-account. How do you tie an
existing account as a sub-account to another existing account?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Printing Memo fields
When I print memo fields in a custom form, all the formatting of the text is
lost. Is there a way to retain the formatting when I print?
While we are on the subject, is there a way to change the default size of
the memo field on the form. I would like to make it larger.
Thanks,

Data migration from MSDN Subscriber License to Production License
Hi everyone,
Does Microsoft have a tool to migrate data from testing MSDN
Subscriber license to Production?
I set up a test server with 5 Suite Pro license with OU as MSDN
Subscriber. We input a lots of data in it. Since the MSDN license
could not be extended. We need more user access to the system. We
applied new license (5 suite standard, free from Partnership and 5
additional if the migration works) under our company name.
1. I tried to reinstall the CRM that connect to existing database on
the testing server by following the uninstall procedure on
implementation guide. It does not change anything except the reporting
part is screwed. It does not give me the options to re-specify the OU
name. While I started this process, I realized this was a wrong move
because the SQL database uses the MSDN_Subsriber_mscrm as database
name. I started looking for migration tools.
2. I can not find a tool to export the CRM data within the CRM
interface. The Online Help, it says there is a wizard to export data
to Excel files without saying where and how.
3. I setup another server to see if I could migrate data from SQL
server database by using import (DTS). I setup the new server with
new license. I tried to move all the table data without objects (the
first choice at DTS) from MSCRM database, I got lots of Primary
key/foreign key constraint issue to prevent the move on many key
tables. If I move the MSCRM SQL database with objects, I could move
the entire database but the MSDN license moved to the new system as
well, although the database name stayed with our new OU name. I am
afraid of that I have to drop the constraint on each table to move the
data over. That might be too much. It still may not work at the end
because of SID or unique ids, etc.
4. I found the Data Migration Framework on Microsoft web and went
through the white paper. It looks like there is no words on CRM to CRM
migration and you would have thought that were there.
Please if you have any insight about how to make this work, it would
be highly appreciated!

Microsoft CRM in mixed NT 4 and Windows 2000 Network
I have installed Microsoft CRM as suggested in Chapter 10 of the
Microsoft CRM Implementation Guide:
-- Company currently uses NT 4 network (Domain1)
-- We set up a new server with AD (Domain2), SQL, Exchange, and CRM
-- I installed the sample data along with MS CRM
-- I set up Domain2 to trust Domain1
-- For each of the 5 users in Domain2, I went to their Properties /
Security tab and added their Domain1 logins with full control
-- Also, for each of the 5 users in Domain2, I went to their
Properties / Exchange Advanceed and added their Domain1 logins with
full mailbox access
I have been able to configure profiles for the users that connect to
their mailbox on Domain2 just fine while logged into Domain1.
However, the users can not access the web interface of CRM, or install
the Sales for Outlook plug-in on their computers.
When trying to access the web interface, they get the error message
0x80040226, "The logged-in user was not found in the Active
Directory." I have verified that anonymous access is disabled on the
web server. I changed one of the computers to Domain2, and can
successfully get onto the CRM web interface, so I know it is working;
there's obviously something that I'm missing with my configuration,
though.
When trying to install the Sales for Outlook plug-in, I get the
message that CRM can not be found at the url that I provided. Once
again, when I move the computer into Domain2, I can install it fine.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Deployment Manager: fails to get LayoutXML
After many successful publishings, we are suddenly experiencing an error
when publishing from the Deployment Manager. The application event log
error states "Failed to get LayoutXML for object type __" and happens for
any object. We're currently trying to publish changes to Incidents and
Opportunities, but I've also tested using objects we've made no changes to.

E-mail address could not be resolved to a record in the system
When I send a message to one of my contact, lead, or account, the recipient
receives my e-mail with no problem. However, when the recipient replies my
e-mail and I read that e-mail in CRM. His name will be in red color, and I
will see this message too
"The sender's e-mail address could not be resolved to a record in the
system"
In other words, CRM doesn't recongize his e-mail address in the contact
automatically. Is there anyway to fix it?
Note: When I send the message to the recipient, I didn't put his contact
into "Regarding" field. However, when he replies, not only his e-mail
address is not recongize and his contact will be added in "Regarding" field.
Is it how CRM is designed currently?

Error Code 80041A01 Meaning
I'm receiving this error when I attempt to set a
pricelevelid during the creation of a product:
ErrorCode: 80041A01
A field that is not valid for create was specified.
I am certain the correct GUID is being passed in the xml
representation of the product.
Does this error mean that we are not permited to set price
levels during creation? Or is something else wrong?

Conversion problem
Hello all,
When I enter a new Lead in CRM, and I convert the Lead to an Account, a
Contact and an Opportunity, some fields (with content) are not 'transfered';
after I look into the new Contact/Account/Opportunity I see empty boxes.
The corresponding fields (on the different forms) point to exactly the same
'schema-names', but somehow the data is not copied from the LeadAddressBase
table to the CustomerAddressBase table.
Has anyone experienced the same problem, and if so, how did you solve it?

Error Unable to Save
Hello,
We have a new install and it has not functioned yet. The
install and run capability all seems normal. However,
when we try to save information it comes back with an
error. This the way the error looks from the client. The
server side is more descriptive.
Server Error in '/' Application.
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server.
The current custom error settings for this application
prevent the details of the application error from being
viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could,
however, be viewed by browsers running on the local
server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error
message to be viewable on remote machines, please create
a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration
file located in the root directory of the current web
application. This <customErrors> tag should then have
its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be
replaced by a custom error page by modifying
the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's
<customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom
error page URL.
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

Has anyone seen a simular problem?

Does Anyone Know MS Billing Telephone Number?????
when I lost my credit card I found that Microsoft has
been billing me for something, and I have no clue what it
is. So I went to Microsoft's web page and they have no
telephone numbers that I can find, except for their paid
technical support numbers.
Does anyone know the billing telephone number at
Microsoft???????????????????

Can you manually delete data from the Account and Contact tables?
I am doing some testing and am presently deleting data from the
Accountbase and Contactbase tables in the MSCRM database. I know that
the supported method is to backup and restore the databases but ...
Anyone have experience with this?
I am only loading data from the CDF database to these 2 tables. In
order for me to delete the data I have to temporarily disable "Enforce
Integrity" in the 4 relationship between Accountbase and Contactbase.
It works ... but will I have problems in the future after I have
finally loaded all my good data?

Biztalk*(CRM+SBM+RMS) = 1 integrated system
Hi all,
Has anyone had any experience with Small Business Manager? There is not much
news anywhere on how good an accounting package it is. I want some input
from actual users....not MS bragging about how great it is....
Has anyone done an integration with CRM and Small Business Manager? MS
recommends using BizTalk...it's tough enough learning CRM...now I need to
learn BizTalk?
Being an MS partner, ideally we would like the complete system to be:
MS-CRM for customer mgmt , Small Biz Mgr for accounting, Retail Management
System for inventory AND xml services provided by a vendor for products and
pricing.
What are my chances of pulling this off? MS makes it sounds like BizTalk is
the solution to any and all integration....I fired off a big long email on
what specifically I needed to do to MS Partner support and they replied with
"...use BizTalk..."
This newsgroup has been more helpful than anything offered by MS.
After reading all NINE training manuals on CRM (not to mention the white
papers and ITK...etc) and how wonderful and full-featured MSCRM is....then
actually using it....it is amazing how many of the features just aren't
there.
Had to by Crystal 8.5 (not the current version mind you) just to add our
logo to the reports??? That's just downright silly.
And as much as MS touted CRM as being the first "fully .Net leveraged
product by Microsoft"...installing the most current version of the framework
causes it to crash???
For those integrators and programmers more experienced than me....( ie ALL
OF YOU )...what is your honest opinion of CRM and its future? I've read
some of the rants on here...and it doesn't sound all that good.
Is there any news on exactly what the next version will improve upon?
Take care...God bless you (and protect you) if you're running CRM. =0)

XP with/versus 2000
I've had XP for just under two months. I can't tell you
what the server is, but everyone else in the company is
on some kind of 2000. XP has its moments, but mostly I
spend minutes waiting for documents to open, close, save -
it's frustrating as all get-out. Something looks like
it closed okay, but the next time I go to open it,
there's a TMP file of the document (of course, they don't
tell you what the heck program to open a TMP file with,
so those just get deleted). The basic document saved
fine in these instances.
It takes, 9 documents out of 10 (Word, Excel, Acrobat) at
least 30 seconds to open or close a document.
Word is not responding is the message I see most often.
Or better yet are the times when I get the "no room on
disk" message - my disk is three times larger than my
previous hard drive.
And I've stopped sending Error Reports. I've been
sending them for close to two months and no one has
gotten in touch with me to even say "sorry".
Anyone out there with similar experience with XP on a
network with all others on 2000? Is there a way to make
these two work and play well together? Or should I just
have it uninstalled and shot?
Thanks for "listening" to my vent. Condolences to any
others who've been through this same mess. Tag: CRM Hard Drive Filling up fast Tag: 7199
