    - consolidating e-mail threads When you are automatically tracking CRM mail (either via the Mail Router or via Outlook), and when you have a lengthy back-and-forth exchange with a customer, the CRM tracks each of these emails as a separate activity in CRM. Has anyone run across a solution (ISV or otherwise) that will consolidate those activities into one activity? It would seem possible, especially if using the tracking tokens.

    - CRM 3.0: Report icon disappeared Hi all, I am facing a major problem: The reports' icon for most of my users disappeared! A couple other people and myself are Admins and we can still access reports OK. The other users cannot see the report icon from the Accounts form, for example. When they access Reports under My Work, they get a blank form instead of the list of all reports. The only things I remember changing since it was last working are: - Rearranging most users in business units and changing which BU was parented by which. - I published the reports using VS2003 so now they are visible from http://crm-server/reports/ I don't know whether this affected the reports icon! Shouldn't it be visible regardless of security rights? Does BU assignment affect report visibility? Thank you, Mohamed Tag: CRM 3.0: Outlook Contact Synch Problem Tag: 99790

    - CRM 4.0 Oulook Client on citrix servers w/roaming profiles We successfully rolled out CRM 3.0 in this environment with a few registry changes for non-crm users in our org. We are now trying the same thing with 4.0 and I'm having no luck. The client installs just fine. In our dev envronment, the domain admin who installs it works great but any other user that logs in and sucessfully runs the configuration wizard, then opens Outlook receives an error stating "An error occured loading Micorsoft Dynamics CRM functionality. Try restarting Outlook. Contact your admin if error persists" If I click OK Outlook runs but without CRM. I restart Outlook and get the error it faild to start last time should I start in safe mode message. With 3.0 the instruction were sketchy, but with 4.0 they are nonexistant so I seem to be flying solo. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your support.

    - CRM4 calendar not working offline For a new CRM4 deployment we have enabled the internal CRM calendar for use within the Outlook client and Offline client instead of the usual Outlook calendar (it was enabled by editing the nav_calendar SubArea of the Sitemap to have Client="All" and AvailableOffline="true"). In the Outlook client and when online with the Offline client this works like a charm but when the client is offline the calendar comes up with a CRMException: "An unexpected error occured". Now I am wondering if perhaps internal calendar is perhaps not supported offline? -- Soeren Busch-Knudsen, Software Architect CDM A/S email: sbk@cdm.dk Tag: CRM 3.0: Outlook Contact Synch Problem Tag: 99773

    - mapping prime contact Hi. I have in the 'Contact' an attribute level {Prime, Secondary} for the contact person. I need to display the primary contact person in the lookup field on the Account entity, so the user does not have to dive into the TreeView to open the 'Contacts' in order to see the one who has the level=Prime attribute. How do I do that (the lookup in the Account entity is merely a caption and a 1:N relationship to the whole contact entity). Thanks Tag: CRM 3.0: Outlook Contact Synch Problem Tag: 99766

    - CRM 3.0 - 4.0 and SQL 2000 - SQL 2005 Hi We have an environment where we are running CRM 3.0 on SQL 2000 on the SBS version(on the same machine). We want to upgrade to CRM 4.0 but on a new machine. Can someone please advise me the series of steps that i need to follow. I am not sure where to start. My guess is that I need to migrate the database from SQL 2000 - SQL 2005 first and then install CRM but how do i migrate from SQL 2000 to SQl 2005. I would really appreciate some expert suggestions here. Kind Regards Snow White Tag: CRM 3.0: Outlook Contact Synch Problem Tag: 99755

    - Can I select Picklist Value in View to sort by name instead of val I have a picklist new_Company in a Custom Entity. When we select the Company in the Header of the View, the sort is by int Value, not by the Label (Company Name). Is this a problem because with the Custom Entity? I noticed the Case Type in Cases sorts Alphabetically, not by the Value. Any workarounds? Thank you! Tag: CRM 3.0: Outlook Contact Synch Problem Tag: 99751

    - 4.0 Internet Facing Deployment Signin.aspx page targets wrong url (no I've set up an IFD and everything is working fine, except that "targeturl" parameter is missing the port number for the CRM website. When you open the CRM server external url in IE (https:// <organizationname>.<subdomain>.<domain>.com:5555/), you're redirected to this url: https://<organizationname>.<subdomain>.<domain>.com:5555/signin.aspx?targeturl=https%3a%2f%2f<organizationname>.<subdomain>.<domain>.com%2fdefault.aspx However, the correct url should be: https://<organizationname>.<subdomain>.<domain>.com:5555/signin.aspx?targeturl=https%3a%2f%2f<organizationname>.<subdomain>.<domain>.com%3a5555%2fdefault.aspx Notice that the correct url has "%3a5555" which is the port number. So after the user logs in, they are directed to https://<organizationname>.<subdomain>.<domain>.com:443 and not https://<organizationname>.<subdomain>.<domain>.com:5555 like they should be, and they get a 404, since the CRM server does not expose port 443 (another server routes all 5555 traffic to port 443 of the CRM server.) HOWEVER: if instead of using the url: "https:// <organizationname>.<subdomain>.<domain>.com:5555/" the user instead uses "https://<organizationname>.<subdomain>.<domain>.com:5555/ signin.aspx" then the user does not get the "?targeturl" appended to the address, port 5555 sticks to the url, and everything works fine. Anyone know how to fix this? How does the "targeturl" parameter get set? I'd like to avoid putting a forwarding page on port 443 of the exposed server to the appropriate signin page.

    - Invoicing a contract Hi, Within our organization we are now starting to use the contracts feature in CRM 3.0 However, we are experiencing some difficulties with actvitating some of our contracts. To activate a contract, you must first 'invoice' the contract. With some of our contracts this doesn't seem to be a problem at all and their status turns from 'Draft' into 'Active'. With most of our other contracts we get the following error message: --- Contracts Error The contract address is missing. You need to add an address before this contract can be invoiced. --- We can't seem to activate those contracts. When we try to fill in the Contract Address, it's not even possible to select such an address! The 'Bill To' address is filled in properly. - What address is CRM asking for? - How can we make sure that we can select such an addres from our look up field? If we compare the data that was filled in on the 'Active' contracts it doesn't seem to differ at all from the 'Draft' contracts we can't seem to activate. Does anybody know what we should do or how we can fix this? Any help would really be appreciated! Thanks! Tag: CRM 3.0: Outlook Contact Synch Problem Tag: 99701

    - Outlook 2007 client for Vista doesn't install I am having trouble getting the Outlook 2007 client (online only) for Vista to install. During installation, the verification step says that there is a pending computer restart. I'm sure that this is not the case, since I had not installed any software or updates since last restarting. Should I perhaps restart immediately prior to installing the client? And after the installation is complete? I did neither and just started Outlook. A dialog appearing saying that there is an error loading CRM functionality and to try restarting Outlook. I did that twice and the same error occurred both times. The "Microsoft CRM" data file only contained a Deleted Items folder during this time. Then I decided to remove that data file, which worked without error. I then removed the CRM add-in from Outlook, which also worked without error. Then I added the CRM add-in again, which worked without error. Then I tried to add a data file of type "Microsoft CRM" and immediately got the following: "An unknown error occurred, error code: 0x80040102. I looked in the folder "C:\Users\{user-me}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook" and saw no file containing anything remotely resembling the word "CRM". Shouldn't there be a CRM data file in there? If so, can I start with some sort of default, empty data file and go from there? Tag: CRM 3.0: Outlook Contact Synch Problem Tag: 99691

    - MS Dynamics CRM 4.0 KNOWN ISSUES / BUG - Update Rollup 1? Hi all, Take 2 at this post as I mashed the keyboard on my last attempt and posted it half the way through! :) Wondering if anyone knows any timeline on Update Rollup 1. I have a few bugs in which when followed up with MS they have simply explained that it is a known issue and they will be realeasing an Update Rollup to address the bugs, mine included. They cannot provide a timeline and I have clients crucifying me over it. Some of the bugs have workarounds, but for sites with a lot of users OR for our hosted clients which are generally remote users that are geographically all over the place, means we need to do web meetings, for the ammount of users we have this will get extreemly tedious and take a LOT of time. Bugs off the top of my head: - Default view when you try to change has a star (signifing default view) against both views, the default and the newly selected one, e.g. Active Accounts and MyActive Accounts. - Synchronizing somtimes fails, if so add rule to contact data set, sync only when Birthday does not contain data. - When Assigning an Account record to a different user an error is recieved. - E-mails in your inbox may be tracked, but some users do not have "Double head" (tracked in CRM) icon. - Notes sporadically have spinning green circle (loading) stopping the ability to add notes or view created notes. - When moving your curser over activities in the Service Calender, the times in which the tool tip info displays is incorrect, e.g 1:25am to 1:55am for a Service Activity that was completed over timespan > 4:00pm and 4:30pm. - Service Calender defaults to incorrect day, date/time settings have been made on client and server but this issue and the one above both still have the problem. Thats all I can think of off the top of my head but I know there are a couple more. Question I have is do MS know about these? If so when are they going to be fixed? Is there going to be an Update Rollup of individual hotfixes to resolve these issues? Are our clients and I the only people having these errors? Are there more bugs to look out for??

    - having issues Good afternoon! This is going to be a bit open ended and I am not able to provide too much in the way of information at the moment. I know, I know...I am worse than the end user who tells you that the system is broken and wants you to fix it. We have several clients who use Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 and they are constantly complaining about the system "being slow" and the need for the MS Outlook Plugin to be reapplied. With one specific client there are some 75 users; the network is 10/100/1000 (may or may not mean anything) and the backend is MS Windows 2003 R2 with SQL 2000 SP4. I know that my collegues recently had to deploy a CRM Patch. So, with my generic description of the "problem" is there anything specific to CRM that I might check. I do not manage this client and have - outside of the Exchange 2007 installation - anything to do with this client. I just see all of the CRM 3.0-related tickets. Is this simply a matter of "troubleshooting 101" and going over the basic things? I do not have any experience with CRM 3.0 (or 4.0 for that matter). I am, however, pretty good at fixing things (just resolved a major issue that had been going on for six weeks and I have never seen the applications involved before!). We did not do the initial installation. We inheirited this client from someone else. I am simply trying to help out my colleagues as I have a better opportunity to spend some quality time with this than they do. Plus, I am considering CRM for one of my clients......

    - MS CRM 4.0 query builder error - no entity Hi, I'm having a problem with the Mailmerge Template entity: I imported all customizations from one environment to another. When I want to open my mailmerge templates in the settings section i get following error: Query Builder Error No Entity I did not make any customizations to this entity, so I don't know what the problem can be. Following are the symptoms: - opening Wordmail merge templates from the settings area gives me the error above. - opening the entity from the customization section does not give me any errors: I can add attributes to forms and publish it, without any errors, I can even change the default view, and publish it without problems... - when I hit the word button from the accounts and want to select an "organization template', I get no results (the system does not return the default organization templates that should exist in the system) Tag: CRM 3.0: Outlook Contact Synch Problem Tag: 99656

When our users synch their CRM contacts with Outlook, it transfers all of
their birthdays to their calendar. Since they have so many, this is a
problem, especially for PDA users. Any way to turn just this feature off
without shutting off the entire contact synch?
