    - Nullable Parameter in a Report issue The error message is: The property â??nullableâ?? of report parameter â??CRM_Localeâ?? is set to false. I have had this error before during our initial installation, but do not remember how it was fixed. we just performed a reinstall of the whole CRM system in order to correct some performance issues between CRM and Reporting Services. I know others have encountered this same issue. Anybody remember the solution? Tag: Reinstalling CRM Tag: 61353

    - Notes should roll up onto parent objects. Notes entered onto a contact, an address, or anything should roll up onto parent records. I don't think this needs to be done on a hard data-level (copying the notes), but there should atleast be a stock report that, when run against a given entity, will show all notes, all notes under activites, and any related notes under contacts. It's very hard to try to have multiple people (support, sales, cold-callers) all keep in-sync with their notes about communication without seeing total visibility. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Crystal Reports help! When trying to run reports in CRM 1.2 this message appears in the event logs. The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout. I can run admin reports, but as soon as I attempt to run one of the sales reports everything else stops working and the pageserver service causes the server to stop responding. I recently tried to upgrade to v3, but it failed so I restored AD, CRM, SQL back to 1.2. Initially the reports could not be found, but I used the tool from MS to get around that error about the file repository. Any thoughts or ideas? Tag: Reinstalling CRM Tag: 61326

    - picklist trouble The situation is this: I have 3 entities Account: with standard the field adres type 1 (picklist) Contact: with standard the field adres type 1 (picklist) Lead: with NO standard field adres type 1 (picklist) I've created the field "adres type 1" on the lead entity. I've mapped the relationships between the attribute "adrestype 1" so that when you convert a lead, it SHOULD convert the values chosen in lead picklist. The fields mapped correctly The piclist values did NOT (whenever i set visitor adres in a lead, it sets postal-adres after conversion to an account/contact) I've tried everything, putting the picklist fields of account/lead/contact in same order manually, adding and deleting standard values, and even (allthough knowing better) automatic sorting alphabetical... It doesnt work, obviously some invisible values are added that ignore the order of options in the picklist. It makes (visitor adres in lead = related to postal adres in account/contact) automatically. Where and how do i map "invisible" values of these picklists ?

    - Tracking CRM 3.0 Campaign Responses I am trying to create, distribute, and track all campaign responses from MS CRM 3.0. I have successfully accomplished the following steps 1. Create Marketing List 2. Create Marketing Campaign 3. Attach the marketing list to the marketing campaign 4. Create a new campaign activity. The activity that I have created is "E-mail via mail merge". 5. I have then distributed the email (via mail merge). 6. I have received a response from the campaign with a CRM tracking token from the campaign. 7. I have clicked the 'Track in CRM' button to promote the e-mail. In the regarding field, the name of the campaign activity then appears. In this case, it is the name of the email that was sent to all marketing list contacts. However, after I have promoted it the e-mail, it is still not tracked as a 'campaign response' under the marketing campaign, even though on the server settings I have E-mail tracking turned ON and 'Create campaign responses for incoming e-mail' turned ON. No campaign responses are tracked anywhere. The only place the e-mail is tracked is in the 'history' section of each individual contact. Can someone please tell me why I can't get the campaign responses to track as campaign responses, all in the same place? Thank you in advance, z Tag: Reinstalling CRM Tag: 61293

    - CRM 3.0 Units vs Teams vs Territories Which to Use We recently certified on CRM 3.0 and now have a major debate going on as to what should be defined as a Business Unit, Territory or Team or even Site. For example, we have two offices: east (also Head Office) and west. We have a large sales group in the East office and groups of service staff: consulting, professional, technical, infrastructure, training as wel as Coporate (Finance,HR, Admin). We are a major IT Reseller and service provider. It has been suggested that teams should be more temporary or smaller sections of units. Any advice on what should be a business unit: just our offices or are these territories or should we make each group: Sales (with their territory - east, west), Professional Services, Consulting Services, etc. as a Business Unit or are these teams. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Tag: Reinstalling CRM Tag: 61262

    - Outlook Client Inbox folders I have installed several CRM 3.0 outlook clients (desktop) without an issue. They all were installed fresh and were not upgrades from 1.2. The exsisting email was an exchange account. When the client installed, it created a new folder tree called Microsoft CRM. The only folders below it were specific to CRM as I would expect. Now I go to install an outlook laptop client. The email account is a pop3 account. On when I install the client, it again adds a new folder tree called Microsoft CRM, but this time, it also includes mail account type folders (i.e. inbox, outbox, sent items, drafts, etc.) underneath it. Is this expected? Directing email to one or the other folder tree is easy, but my users will be very confused. I guess I need a little help knowing what the best practice is???

    - Japanese Version of MSCRM Hi folks, I have a few questions regarding MSCRM3.0 for a client in Japan: 1. I have heard that the the Japanese version of MSCRM3.0 will be released in Japan in September 2007. It has already been released in the US. Is there a way a partner can buy it from the US for a client in Japan? 2. My second question is: On the same screen, the user needs to input data in English script on one field and Japanese script on another field? 3. My client's database is Oracle. Since Microsoft does not support Oracle, I can convince them to migrate to MS SQL Server. How should I go about this one time or miltiple migrations from Oracle to MS SQL Server? 4. Does MSCRM3.0 support Double byte data? (since they will be using the Japanese version) What are the pitfalls of this? In my opinion since everything is NVARCHAR, the database should be able to support double-byte characters. Has anyone encountered any issues with the same? Would appreciate your response.

    - Cannot upload rdl report to CRM 3.0 with SQL Server 2005 Rep. Serv Although exisitng reports work fine with the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services back-end, attempt to add new ones always fail on "an error occured while trying to add the report to microsoft crm" Rdl file has been generated by Visual Studio 2005 own data source. Accidentally, I tried to modfy existing reports with VS 2005. There are problems with Data Sources. As an example, Account Summary's DSAccntSmmryReport was transated with to: declare @sql as nvarchar(4000) set @sql = ' SELECT top 10 CAST(accountid as nvarchar(100)) as AccountID, name, '''' as None FROM (' + @CRM_FilteredAccount + ') as fa' exec(@sql) -------------- This is invalid syntax!

    - Is Outlook CRM 3.0 PlugIn a joke or is it my failure??? Hi, after very bad experience with CRM 1.2 I thought I would give CRM 3.0 a second chance (and they will get a third one too). My first impression was: Why are the Icons in the tree not the same as they are in the webfrontend! Okay after this I started working. I thought that email tracking would be great for me. So I started to add my email (I write them in Outlook) to the Support Cases. They were automatically added to the history - great! I got the response (also added to the history) and answered. So from my part, I think I am done with this. But CRM still has a new activity in my queue - the answer from the customer! Why doesn't CRM recognize that I have answered the email and delete (or handle in other way) the activity in CRM? - Next thing is that my Outlook is slow after I installed the CRM Client. - I am not able to shutdown my computer if Outlook is still running! I hope that someone can help me with this. thx in advance Bjoern Tag: Reinstalling CRM Tag: 61202

    - CRM 1.2 -> 3.0 Upgrade failure Hi, I am trying to get an install of CRM 1.2 upgraded to 3.0 but am running in to some issues when I try to. The installer fails with the following warnings and errors: Warning: The indexes on the Microsoft CRM database are not consistent with Microsoft CRM 1.2 indexes. Warning: Discrepancies were found in the read-only metadata. Error: Microsoft CRM 1.2 database export failed. The installer log files has the following line: 14:09:13| Error| Check ExportXmlValidator : Failure: Microsoft CRM 1.2 database export failed. We have previously been able to upgrade 1.2 to 3.0 successfully in our test environment. Our database has also had no customizations or 3rd party applications installed. We have tried installing over the top of the machine with 1.2 installed and also tried to install 3.0 on a fresh box pointing to the old 1.2 databases. The installer finds the databases fine but continues to fail with the above errors. Any ideas? Tag: Reinstalling CRM Tag: 61198

    - Upgrade to 3.0 with named instance in SQL So, I've read SQL instances are not supported for 3.0.... Now I am faced with the challenge of moving my SQL databases to another SQL server using the default server and then moving them back after reinstalling SQL? Here is my setup: CRM Server has CRM 1.2 installed along with SQL DC is seperate from CRM server Does anyone know of any instructions on doing this? I've looked at the redeployment tools, but believe they are directing me to start with a seperate OU in AD?.? Thanks for the help. I would have thought the gurus at MS would have thought of this..... Thanks, James Tag: Reinstalling CRM Tag: 61195

    - Web Discovery Service Hi, I'm having trouble setting up the Web Service on our CRM box. I have tried to work out the reason why, but cannot find it at I am able to find the web service @ http://<crmserver>/mscrmservices/2006/crmservice.asmx once I find it I change the Web Reference Name to: CrmSdk then Add Reference. Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'EnvDTE.IVsExtensibility'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{3C536122-57B1-46DE-AB34-ACC524140093}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Then I get a pop up title: Web Discovery Service Unable to download following files from: http://<crmserver>:5555/mscrmservices/2006/crmservice.asmx?wsdl Do you want to skip these files and continue? Obviosuly, if I accept I get just crmservice.disco crmservice.discomap Other things that may or may not be relevant are when clicking on the hyper links of the service ie. Create.. Update, in the 'Web services found at this URL:' I get the following message. Tag: Reinstalling CRM Tag: 61193

    - Disabling a Tab via Jscript Hi, I have a few custom tabs which I would like to disable upon certain criteria. Is there any way of disabling an entire tab? I do know you can hide it, but it leaves a huge gap in the tab title when it's hidden. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Tag: Reinstalling CRM Tag: 61192

I have to reinstall CRM in a test environment for a fresh instance.

Now the documentation lists the steps but do I need to reinstall the mail
router. Looks like if url for the crm web page does not change it should
be ok.

Any experience with that?

The mail router is never needed unless you want to feed email activities
into CRM. If this is only a test server and you dont need email connectivity
then the router is not needed
