    - Error 0x80044005 I have a client that was getting Error 0x80044005 this morning. The SQL server is seperate from the CRM Server. Event logs did not say much. The above error number is 2. I checked the Database server, opened up SQL Enterprise manager and found that two of the CRM Databases were set to single user mode. If you have this problem just Right client on the Database. Goto Properties and then the options tab. I found that the "Restrict Access" Box was checked. So I unchecked it and then restarted the CRM and Crystal Services on the CRM server. Now the question is how did just two of the databases get set to Single user mode during the weekend. The Database Maintenance plan should not do that, but it turned out that manual backups were made on the databases. Anyway, I hope this helps someone. Tag: Sales for Outlook Tag: 40882

    - Prevent outlook data sync HI, I have been trawling round this NG and the support areas of MBS to no avail. What I am trying to do is to insert contacts into an empty default contacts folder for a mailbox whitout them being created as new contacts in CRM. Everything we have tried has failed. I have deselected contacts from the personal options section 'create microsoft crm items in my default outllok folders' but it makes no difference. If we put a contact in that folder it creates a new contact with equivalent details in CRM, either when online (if online when put the contact in the folder) or when go online (if offline when put the contact in the folder). The reason we have for doing this is that we are not happy with the sync performance so are looking at synching on one machine and copying data to a central public folder and subsequently copying to using a third party tool to sync that public folder with the default contacts folder for each mailbox. However everytime we try and insert contacts from the central folder into te default folder we end up creating loads of new contacts in crm. Can anyone advise where I am going wrong? pete Tag: Sales for Outlook Tag: 40874

    - Remove Revenue field from opportunity form I want to remove the revenue radio button field that asks if you want to enter the value yourself or have it system calculated but can't as it says it is required by the system. We do not have products so cannot calculate opportunity values. So it would be nice to remove the revenue field and default to the user entering the revenue value themselves (I can do the last bit). Does anyone know what is stopping me removing it? Tag: Sales for Outlook Tag: 40868

    - CRM for a radio station Hi Im supposed to customize CRM for a Radio station, but the great number of times unites (1 second upto 90 seconds) with 8 times intervals during the day (ex: 8-10 am) is a problem that troubles me, speiacly with price lists for every one. also another problem that every product has a different company, Agency, and MBU (Media Buying Unit) where all three have to be identified to get the sales report for each one, knowing that a product should have a company, but might not have an agency or an MBU. also if a product is advertised for through a company its prices are differnet than an agency or MBU. my main problem is reporting, if there is a way to customize and get reports for each company, product, agency, MBU, salesman, industry. and then filter 2 together then my problem is solved. thanks -- Alaadin Abu Libdeh Tag: Sales for Outlook Tag: 40858

    - New CRM 1.2 installation login problems I'm sure this has been asked before but my searches did not turn up anything that matches so ... I just installed CRM 1.2 on a box running SBS 2003 Premium with SQL Server 2000 SP3a. Everything went fine during the installation. I followed the procedure in Microsoft's document found here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/mscrm/mscrm12/deploy/15_sbs03.mspx After installation, when I try to browse to http://crmweb from a computer joined to the domain, I get prompted to provide user name and password credentials. After providing them three times I get a 401.1 error (You are not authorized to view this page). Now the part I find very interesting is that when I access http://crmweb from a system on the LAN that is NOT joined to the windows domain, but has a Local User with the same username and password as a domain user who is also a CRM user, the CRM web page displays correctly without prompting for credentials at all. Can somebody please offer any suggestions to correct the authentication problem?

    - MS CRM - Arabic edition Hi all We've got a customer wanting to have the UI in Arabic language. I understand that on top of English edition, we need to install the Arabic edition. What I'm aware of is during the implementation phase of the project, will the MS CRM implementation team need to know Arabic and have all the fields displayed in Arabic? Or is there an option where the fields can be in English and then converted into Arabic as and when required. Request your thoughts and past experiences on such situations. Thanx in advance -- Regards Paras Tag: Sales for Outlook Tag: 40832

    - Microsoft CRM 3.0 - WOW! I'm surprised to be the first to comment on the outstanding application we saw demoed at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference this week. In a word, "Wow"... To all of you who have been hanging in there with what I'm sure MS would agree was a less than fully functional 1.x product, you are about to be rewarded... There are so many fantastic new features that I can't possibly cover them all here. Suffice to say, I believe that at least 90% of the shortcomings in the 1.2 product have been addressed, and some terrific new functionality has been added as well. Some of the highlights include: - fully customizable home page (and activities). They demoed a CRM Home page that looked like a portal, consisting of Share Point web parts, including three graphs. - Ability to add custom entities. You can rename all of the CRM tabs (hurrah! can change Contacts to People, etc.) You can add new tables, and specify M:M relationships between any CRM object, including custom ones. - Everything looks much more like Outlook, and the integration appears to be much tighter. - Great enhancements to Excel exporting, including the ability to create a live link Pivot table (data updated in your PT as it changes in CRM!). - Advanced Find can now query across objects, with a highly intuitive And/Or grouping of lines. And you can save queries, and they show up right in the Views for that object! (You can share them too.) - Quick Campaigns can be created on any advanced find result set, with sophisticated, full-blown marketing functionality built in. (They even had a "Email via Mail Merge option" on the menu - and the email GUID appears to be history as well, and tracking email conversations looks easier) - They have added a very sophisticated Service Scheduling module. - Greatly enhanced reporting capabilities via SRS - Simplified deployment (all customization/publication done through IE GUI) Like I said, that's just a short list. Get ready folks, CRM 3.0 will be the product everybody has been waiting for. Kudos to the CRM Dev team for a great job! Dave ------------------------------------------------- David L.

    - Strange CRM Performance Issue My company deployed CRM for several months. Performance was quite OK until two weeks ago, strange things started to happen after we deploy SharePoint portal. Not sure they are related. CRM has its stand alone web server. but share the same db server with a number of applications including SharePoint. It doesn't look like database is the performance bottle neck. But the plan is to move CRM to it's stand alone db server in the near future. The symtom is: 1) loading up CRM took a long time, sometimes time out. But sometimes after it took a long time and still nothing happened, I closed the browser window, and then opened another browser window, CRM sometimes loaded right away. 2) navigating to different areas of CRM took a long time 3) open a crm record took a long time. 4) updating and save a crm record took a long time, especially actions like changing owner of a record. 4) Same issues in Outlook client. In addition, promoting an email took a long time, time out, or received an error. Sending crm email also took a long time, time out, or received an error. We monitored performance both on the database server and web server, but the results were quite acceptable. Is it because the http request took a long time to get to the web server? However, the web server responded reasonably fast after the request did get through? No clue yet. Any help will be very appreciated! Tag: Sales for Outlook Tag: 40811

    - SystemUserID in SystemUserBase I have been testing to see if a disabled user can be reactivated and show up with a SystemUserID in the SystemUserBase. From what I can see it will will show up as a new account. The AD account was disabled from AD quite some time ago. I notice tha the Object GUID that is viewable with ADSIEDIT in AD does not corrospond with the SystemUserID. If I new how the SystemUserID entry was created I could manually create the record in the table. I least I think I could. Anyone know how they are created under the hood. It would be a bit tedious to go through the license table to see if the associated account does not exist and then we could remove the record. Any Ideas. Tag: Sales for Outlook Tag: 40809

    - Recieving an error when opening CRM e-mail????? When a response to a CRM E-mail is received, it is automatically attached to the CRM Record (Opportunity, Account, Lead) as activity history. In order to further respond to the CRM E-mail and continue the thread the user has to do this from the CRM Activity History on the record. Sometimes when the e-mail is opened in CRM it contains this warning message: "The e-mail below may contain script or content that is potentially harmful and has been blocked. Unblock" With this error message, the user can not respond or forward the e-mail from CRM. The e-mail form blanks out and the user gets an internet â??Page can not be displayedâ?? error screen.

Try http://localhost:2525/_root/stage.aspx?url=%2FHome%2Fhome_home.aspx

(Sorry, I don't have easy access to a 1.2 install, but I don't think we've
changed it in 3.0.) If this is wrong, maybe someone who has 1.2 can provide
the URL - it's under the Microsoft CRM folder's properties, on the "Home
Page" tab.
