    - Bulk Import - Update New Attributes ONLY Hi All. I have a need to import leads (about 20,000 of them) and then I need to update each lead (with data from an outsourced Telemarketing supplier) every 2 weeks. I will create new attributes every 2 weeks for the lead to match the data coming back from my supplier but would I be able to "update" my existing 20,000 leads and not re-import as I would like to keep the activity history. Any idea how I could do this? Thanks in advance. Tag: CRM 3 and SQL Server 2005 Tag: 57256

    - Custom child entities - order of display on sidebar I have one parent custom entity with 4 child entities. When I open one record of the parent custom entitiy, the 4 child entities appear on left side bar of the parent custom entity (which is normal). However, my customer wants them to appear in a particular order. I could not figure out how MSCRM 3.0 determine order of display of the child entities. Anyone can advise? Thank you.

    - CD Set Hi, I have just a very basic question: The CD Set of CRM 3.0, which I received, has only two CDs: 1. CRM Server Setup 2. CRM Outlook Client Setup (Small Business or Professional Edition can be activated) Since CRM 1.2 had 5 CDs and Microsoft never created new applications, which became smaller than previous editions, I just wanted to know, if my CD Set is still complete. Why this edtion seems to be "smaller"? Thanks for your answer. regards Patrick Tag: CRM 3 and SQL Server 2005 Tag: 57250

    - Authentication Error After Install I have installed CRM V3 on Windows 2003. SQL Server 2005 and the Domain Controller are on another machine. I received the authentication error from both the web browser and the Deployment Manager. When I checked the event log on the SQL Server machine, there were many authentication events (8 per minute). I added the account that was attempting to connect and these errors stopped. However, CRM is still not authenticating. I checked the installation documentation and it references 4 groups that should be added tot he OU on install (UserGroup, ReportingGroup,PrivUserGroup and SQLAccessGroup). These were not created. I believe the lack of these may be causing the proble. The domain is very simple (sanbox to learn) and does not have any OUs. Any help would be appreciated! -- Best Regards, Joe Tag: CRM 3 and SQL Server 2005 Tag: 57245

    - This is a hard question i guess I installed CRM 3.0 on 2 different SBS 2003 premium servers and on each one of them there seems to be a problem with the reports. When showing reports they many times show no data or there seems to be sub reports I can click and then they show some information. Some of the graphics aren't ok either. Anyone experienced anything like this. And to say I had a lot of trouble with sp1 to sbs, had to add new spn to get crm 1.2 working so that I could upgrade to CRM 3.0. Anyone ?

    - Email template not available for email entity? When an email drops into a queue, we would like to use an HTML reply. The workflow email doesn't seem to support this when we try to paste HTML , and the template pull-down from the Actions -> Send Email does not display any templates, when an entity type of "Email" is selected in the Workflow Manager. What am I missing here? It would seem you would want to send an email in HTML format if for nothing other than to appear you came from this century. -- Bob Fletcher Tag: CRM 3 and SQL Server 2005 Tag: 57229

I also wondered whether it would be possible to associate a field with a marketing list member (e.g. a description field explaining why they are on the list).

    - Microsoft 1.2 to 3.0 Migration... SOS! Hi All, We're attempting to migrate a test enviroment, currently running Windows 2003 Enterprise Server and Microsoft CRM 1.2. During the upgrade advisor I get a warning message stating the following: Microsoft CRM Database ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning: The Indexes on the Microsoft CRM database are not consistent with Microsoft CRM 1.2 indexes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We've never did any customizations on the Microsoft CRM databases therefore all indexes should be "out of the box" unless a hotfix messed with them. I proceed with the installation anyways and get the following error during installation. Installation Error Message: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Action Microsoft.Crm.Setup;Server.INstallDatabaseAction Failed. The Index 'ndx_entity_name' is dependent on column 'Name'. Alter Table Alter COLUMN Name failed because one or more objects access this column. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm assuming this is directly related to the warning I received during the requirements check. I've tried removing the index 'ndx_entity_name' but during another install attempt I get an error saying the index is missing... Ugh! Again, we never played nor changed any tables, indexes, or procedures within the Microsoft CRM databases. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Tag: CRM 3 and SQL Server 2005 Tag: 57209

    - Picklist and Status values Greyed out I am trying to edit/change the values in the picklists/status reason attrubutes values in the Appointment, Case Resolution, E-Mail, Activity, and Task entities, however all values in the state/reason value fields are greyed out. Is there any reason why these are blocked from being customised. I have Administrator plus all roles priveleges, so role security should not be an issue, unless there is some conflict happening in this situation(defect).

    - workflow to monitor custom status change and assign entity I am trying to make a workflow so that on the change of status a service activity is assigned to another queue. The status is a custom attribute (picklist) called Billing Status with 'billed' and 'waiting for billing' as the options with the default null. I created a workflow and am able to make a manual one that does what I want. It checks for the Waiting for billing status and if it sees it it assigns it to the 'waiting for billing' queue. I have made a timed workflow for 1min on creation of a service activity to run the subprocess of the above. that works only if I manually apply the rule and it only applies to the service activity I have open... not the others with the waiting for billing bit checked. I understand that this is a component to the recursive workflows (I think). But I cannot figure out how to make a workflow that will ALWAYS be on the look out for this single attribute change that does not need to be manually run. I have made workflows with all of the other options (Manual, assign, create and change status) I would have assumed that the 'Change Status' rule event would be the one I want, but nothing I try works. I am beating my head against the wall with this one... well, more then just this one... but this one in particular. Also, if anyone can suggest a better way of 'marking' an activity (this will apply to tickets and possibly phone calls if I can get the service activities working right) as 'waiting for billing' or otherwise notifying someone that the activity is done. The reason I did this instead of just closing a service activity is that after closing (resolving) it you cannot reopen it. I do alot of sub work for a company and the tickets are assigned to the account regarding the contacts associated to the account. They might have similar subjects and similar dates and contacts. It gets confusing and I like to make it as easy on my book keeper, who is already riding me ofr other MSCRM issues anyway. The way I am doing it is, I mark it to be billed, she bills and and marks it billed, then I close the activity. Then I know from start to finish that it has been closed, it shows up in the advance find saved queries (why oh why can't you link directly to a saved advanced query?) and is farily fault tolerant. If I can get the added feature of assigning it to a queue, then the workflow that... well... works, I can then add additional actions like creating a task and sending an email to the book keeper that there are activities to bill. Thanks for your help, I have learned much from this list already. Tag: CRM 3 and SQL Server 2005 Tag: 57198

    - CRM 3.0 Updating Price lists and Adding new Products, Subject We have almost 2000 products and since our original install of 1.2 we have gone from 4 price lists - List, Dealer, Quick Pay, Preferred, to List, Dealer,Quick Pay, Preferred Dealer, Preferred QuickPay, Volume We have also acquired another couple of companies and hundreds of new products, not currently in our system. We have just upgraded to 3.0 and now are in a quandry on how to best update the product and pricing modules. We think we can updae the the exisiting products with an import synching the id's and their prices. Howeve, we need to add in the 100's of new products, add in the new Subjects et al in a timely import type manner - not manually as the time would be daunting and time consuming - let alone costly as we would have to hire temp staff to bang away at typing these in. Is there a third party product out there to deal with this? I am sure we are not the only ones with this problem. Please let me know ASAP as we need to research it right away, or hire programmers to develope our own SDK at great cost! This it turning into a nightmare! Thanks!

    - Company calendar & scheduling activities These are my issuesâ?¦ itâ??s not the views Iâ??m so concerned about; it is the process of scheduling. Itâ??s ridiculous (see #4). 1. Can you change the default "resource view" in the shared web calendar? This view is wonderful for our corporate office; however, it is unnecessary for our other offices. It just confuses the users even more. It's just too much to look at. I want to change the default calendar view based upon facility location. 2. We have created different drop down shared calendar views for each office location, but it does not combine the users and resources. It is either a view with that location's equipment or a different view with that location's users. Can a combined resource/user view for each location be created? 3. I have been looking into third party add-ons. I came across an Austria company who has created Group Calendar. I read through their .pdf and I like the navigation face lifts and the ability to right click and add instant notes; however, it does not from what I see improve the process of scheduling resources. Does anyone have this add-on? 4. For our application, scheduling of a service activity is cumbersome. Different locations have different assets; however, we have equipment which is shared and shipped between the facilities. We had to create a service activity for each location- e.g. Demo- AL, Demo- NY, Demo- FL, Demo-Share, Installation- AL, Installation- NY, Installation- FL, Installation- Share, Service- AL, Service- NY, Service- FL, Service- Share... you get the point. The list goes ON. We were instructed because one location has a set of resources and they are not supposed to schedule another location's resources we are to create our service activities like so (for each facility). The reason why we have the XXX- Share activity is for our shared assets. With each service activity a rule must be created... "Chose 1, Choose 2, etc..." With an activity either a user or an asset can be scheduled. The resources take such a long time to load in the form assistant and if you don't schedule it right it can be very frustrating!!! Is there an easier way? For example, if something changes with a project and we end up not using one piece of equipment, then we have to delete the entire resource line and pick the correct "choose #." In addition with the shared assets we have to change its office location each time it ships out in order for it to be schedulable at another facilityâ??s location. Is there a better remedy?

    - Current System User variable Does anyone happen to know if there is an attribute that is accessible by query such as filter criteria on a view, that would point to a session variable indicating the current logged in user? This could be used, for example, to display a list of entities that have a relationship mapped to the user entity. Only the entities that have attributes that match the current user would be displayed. Thanks Tag: CRM 3 and SQL Server 2005 Tag: 57180

    - Load balancing-Redirect URL break reports while access CRM via Out We are planning to have a load balanced environment for CRM application server: Prod1 and Prod2. We have created a redirect URL: crm.<companyname>.com which if launched will redirect to Prod1 or Prod2 based on the Load Balancing configuration. Our report server and db server are on one server ProdDBserver.Here is the issue: When we are installing the CRM SFO client it asks for the URL so we gave the URL: http://crm.<companyname>.com. This redirects to the application portion of CRM within Outlook, but breaks the reports availability through outlook. The application works fine if accessed via the web client. So my question is that on the SFO side are there any additional steps we need to follow to make this redirect works and connects to the report server as well. -- Shardik Tag: CRM 3 and SQL Server 2005 Tag: 57170

I have only run the configuration wizard, which makes some minor changes to the existing database with information about our company. The Implementation Guide shows how to install and then uninstall the sample database. I notice that CRM creates the following databases in SQL Server: MyCompany_METABASE MyCompany_MSCRM What should I do so that I might install the sample database and then be able to unistall without having any major issues. Will the sample database alter the two databases I have listed above? If so, can I back them up and then restore them once I am done with the sample?

    - CRM publishing w/ISA 2004 on seperate server Hello, I have CRM installed on a Windows 2003 SP1 box, with protocol 5555. I also have a SBS 2003 w/ ISA 2004. They are two different servers. I created a rule in ISA for 5555. Created a web listener for 5555, but nothing for SSL as 443 is being used for other SBS web sites. The published web site is set to go to the directory called crm. In other words, http://sbserver.XXXX.com:5555/crm. The publishing rule is forwarding packets to my CRM Server. The CRM server responds by asking for authentication. Login is succesfull. It takes me to the redirect page which then pops up the new window for CRM. The problem is that the new window displays, page cannot be found, 403 forbidden. The address is is trying to open is http://sbserver.XXXX.com:5555/loader.aspx. Notice that the crm part of the directory structure is missing. Even if I manually put in http://sbserver.XXXX.com:5555/crm/loader.aspx, it does not work. What am I missing here? Is the problem that I am not using SSL? Tag: CRM 3 and SQL Server 2005 Tag: 57166

    - Recipients getting winmail.dat files when outlook set to plain text Using CRM3 and the Outlook client. Email accounts are POP3 not Exchange. Just started using this set up. When sending an email to a client I am clicking on 'track in CRM' and associating the email with an account then sending from within Outlook (as apposed to using the CRM web interface). My email format in Outlook is Plain Text. Recipients not using a MS reader appear to be getting the emails as Rich text because they are getting the old winmail.dat file which they cannot read. Not totally sure but I think this only happens when there is an attachment (eg pdf). I do know however that if I don't 'track in CRM' the get the email in plain text and can read it. Is this 'normal' operation? Is there anyway I can get all the emails to be sent plain text or as a last resort HTML? TIA Antony Tag: CRM 3 and SQL Server 2005 Tag: 57165

At least once per day the "Settings" Button is disappearing, although the user has the rights to view the settings. When the user manually deletes temporary internet files and cookies the "settings" button is there again. This maybe be temporary workaround but one of our customers has the same problem. There is also an user defined button disappearing. So that not a solation at all. I read on different places (blog, newsgroup) that it might be an issue with cookies: http://groups.google.de/group/microsoft.public.crm/browse_frm/thread/83ab4c35311d7f29/ae74556b4bb9d864?lnk=st&q=settings+crm+3.0&rnum=2&hl=de#ae74556b4bb9d864 http://icu-mscrm.blogspot.com/ "CRM Outlook Client Makes Features Disappear In Web UI: Workaround" Did anybody run into the same issue or has an idea?

    - Relating multiple accounts on custom entities Hi, I have a question here; I have a custom entity project; what I would like to do is that I can link various accounts and contacts to this project. Obviously, there can be more then one project where the accounts and contacts can be envolved in. How should I accomplish that, I made the project entity and added a relationship to accounts; then I was able to select 1 account in the project and under the accounts, the projects was shown, thats good, but what if I wanted more then one account to be involved in this project. Can I create a field like the Required field of an appointment this is exactly what we need... Or else does anyone have a workaround? Thanks ! Tag: CRM 3 and SQL Server 2005 Tag: 57121

    - How can I make fields required? I want to make certain fields on the Account form required. So that users cannot save the form unless they enter the data. Locking in the field only prevents it from being deleted. How can I do that? Tag: CRM 3 and SQL Server 2005 Tag: 57112

We're presently running it 100% successfully on two client systems as well as
our internal system without a problem. The only problem we ran into (first
install) was that are reporting services wasn't on port 80 for the CRM
install. We made that change and everything worked. After the install we were
able to move back to the non-standard port and CRM talks just fine with the
reporting server. John

No problems here. We are running CRM on SQL 2k5 and also using the 2k5
Reporting Services. Some minor issues with security in RS after
install but they were easily fixed.

hi there,

You might want to refer to page 15-6 of the Implementation Guide.
