    - Outbound Email Blocked Hi, One of our users has experienced the following when trying to send an email from MSCRM They were using an existing template and made some minor text changes to it. When they clicked save the following message appeared below the subject line: The email below may contain script or content that is potentially harmful and has been blocked. Unblock If Unblock is clicked then we get the following message: You are about to view a message body that might contain harmful content. Click OK to proceed or Cancel to stop. We clicked Cancel. Has anybody experienced this? If so, what does it mean? How do we get rid of this message? Thanks Lee Tag: CRM Server Installation Error!!! Tag: 34048

    - KDC Errors stopping MS CRM Every once and then our CRM application becomes unreachable and the CRM server itself inaccessible. It seems as it simply loses contact with the domain controller, since this machine is too busy. The System log on the domain controller is packed with this Error message: Event Type: Error Event Source: KDC Event Category: None Event ID: 11 Date: 2005-02-21 Time: 10:03:12 User: N/A Computer: CRM-AD01 Description: There are multiple accounts with name host/boromir-crm.crm.agogo.se of type DS_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAME.

    - Error 80004005 on install -- additional info I get the error message 'Unspecified error 80004005' when I try to install CRM version 1.0. CRM server is being placed on a P4 2.2GHz/510MB system that also has Exchange 2003 on it. SQL Server is on another system that is also 2.2GHZ with 512MB. They are both on the same domain. When I try to install I get the above error message and there is nothing 'new' on the SQL Server. On checking the logs for both machines I have found that the logon for SQL fails due to the use of a 'null' username. This occurs whether I use the 'localmachine' security account or specify one. I have also noticed that when I do specify an account that it successfully authenticates with SQL, but seems to fail shortly thereafter. It seems that the reason for this failure to install is due to the fact that there is a serious problem logging on to the SQL Server during installation. Another problem I see is that the EULA text is missing when I start the installation. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks. Tag: CRM Server Installation Error!!! Tag: 34032

    - Workflow Hi all, In the workflow manager for one of our clients we have added a radio button to trigger an e-mail. How it is ment to work is, When the accounting department recieves payment for an order they change the radio button option and then "save and close" the record in order to generate (via the workflow) an e-mail to the dispatch division. So once payment is recieved dispatch get an e-mail to then package the order to be sent out. Only problem is, both at our test site and at the client site this is not generation ANY activity let alone an e-mail. Any help what so ever will be greatly appreciated.

    - Connecting to CRM Web Client via Wireless Another issue I'd appreciate help with: Do you know why I have access to everything on the network in a wired Ethernet environment, however if I go wireless, I cannot connect to CRM. I do have access to Outlook and the VPN in wireless. Curious if there is some network security setting or just a glitch. It doesn't even bring up the log-in where you would input password. All network settings are the same in wired or wireless. I do have pop-up blocker on, however, I have CRM as an exception where pop-up blocker is turned off. My laptop is new and came with XP SP2. The SP2 pop-up blocker is the one I have CRM listed as exception. I had to turn this off to access CRM on the network in a wired Ethernet environment. No access problem in wired network, only in wireless. I have WEP encryption enabled. Thanks, Boolean1 Boolean1@comcast.net Tag: CRM Server Installation Error!!! Tag: 34005

    - CRM for Outlook Client Any help on this appreciated... I had an error with Outlook awhile back where I had to remove the CRM Add In and when I go to add it back (something I've done before), it never shows the CRM toolbar and when I click on one of the CRM folders (like Accounts, etc.) it doesn't load up. Upon checking my C Drive under Program Files, it appears I still have everything on my computer with regard to the Outlook client. I even tried going on the network and doing an install again and it said it "is already installed." Any idea on how I might be able to get the Outlook version up and running again?

    - import Data from Excel Hi, Does somebody have experience in importing data from excel sheets into MS CRM? Which is the best way and tools to import data from excel sheets?

    - URGENT: Manualy exporting customization Hello, I am having a quite usual problem with the CRM Security Service (it won't start). I have tried many things and I also got support from MS but with no luck. So the next step is to reinstall the whole system from the start. Before I begin with the installation process I have to backup the current data and customization. Backing up the DBs is a quite straightforward process, but I can not export the current customization from Deployment Manager, since the Deployment Manager won't start (due to the security service problem). My question is how can I backup/export my customization WITHOUT using the Deployment Manager, in order to import it after the new installation?

    - CRM 1.2 Redeployment problems with Step 5, mapping users I have followed the redeployment steps very carefully but no matter how many times I try to redeploy, I fail on Step 5. Here is what I have done and my scenario. Current System with CRM Server V1.2 Installed: domain: crmdomain1.local New System that I want to install CRM on: domain: crmdomain2.local Step 1: I used the data export tool and the current system and successfully created 2 xml files with the OU, security roles, etc all intact. Step 2: took a copy of the SQL databases and followed the directions to do it how crm wants you to. Step 3: On the new crm system I installed active directory and a new domain controller (which I will call crmdomain2.local) and installed sql server Step 4: I restored copy of crm databases as statementin the implementation guide. I also created a blank crystal reports document. Steps 1 through 4 were fine, but here is where I run into trouble Step 5: I installed and ran the crm redeployment tool. In one of the steps I pointed to my 2 xml files (one is for mapping and the other is for deploying) and this was fine. When I click on install, after about 5 or 10 seconds into the installation this error occurs: "An error occurred when populating Microsoft CRM user groups. Ensure that CRM user accounts are accessible from the current domain and run the wizard again." I have no altered the user accounts and security roles in any way and I cannot figure out how to resolve this issue or find a workaround. Tag: CRM Server Installation Error!!! Tag: 33981

    - Quick Quotes Does anyone have any experience or ideas how to implement a "quick quote" function? Obviously, the quote system works and should be used, but we have a high volume of customers that will call and ask for a verbal price on a small item that our inside sales folks don't take the time to enter with the formal quote system. It would be useful to just enter the contact, account, part number and the price. I am envisioning something quick like the activity format. Any ideas? TIA Tag: CRM Server Installation Error!!!

    - HELP: CRM Re-installation Situation: We migrated to a new Active Directory and want to migrate the CRM Server Steps so far: 1. Back up the database and settings files 2. Uninstall CRM application 3. Run installation program ... but we get the following error on the Configure Existing Database's screen. "Microsoft CRM could not find a valid organization on the specified database. You need to have at least one organization before installing Microsoft CRM" ... Ideas? I think it's because there's no organization in the new Active Directory. So I tried to re-create the organization tree ... seems to still have no luck ideas? As a fall back .. could I not install a new CRM instance and then "restore" the databases over the new database installation? or is that too easy? Any help is much appreciated ...

    - Reassign Fails All, When we try to reassign a contact from one user to another, we get a message that the user doesn't exist in Active Directory any more. Indeed that is the case, since we deleted the one user from active directory. We removed his license before we deleted the account, but we did not reassign any of his records. Is there a way to reassign this users records? FYI, I have tried to reassign both ways. I tried through the Contact screen to reassign, and I also tried through the Users list to reassign all and that fails too. Tag: CRM Server Installation Error!!! Tag: 33965

    - slugs no more Hi, I have successfully been using slugs having created several new fields on the Case form and putting in the correct format for the slug in the email. I have now added a field to the Case form in order to capture some text for the resolution of a case prior to actioning resolve a case, since we cannot access resoltion schema fields using slugs. However I have created 2 different types, string and memo and when I put the &incident.CFSresolution; or &incident.CFPresol_text; in the email and Resolve a case, the damn thing doesn't work. I have put in the fields that I previously created in the same email as a test and the slugs work but I cannot get any of the new ones to work at all. Is there something I should be doing apart from "Publishing the changes on the Case form and doing iisreset on the server" that I have forgotten to do.

    - Millions of contacts in CRM Hi, I am concerned about the use of MSCRM in a client with a few milliion contact records (around 6 million). I know from my own experience with SQL Server that there is no problem with this database, but I wonder if there is any issu regarding the application ou the application server...? I also read the performance and sizing white papers, but the concern there is related to number of users not record number... I read a post by Jake Horn where he mentions 2 M account records in a client installation with no problem, with replication turned off ( is this just turning off replication in Enterprise Manager?)

    - Invalid User Rights error hello all, I've installed crm and had it working fine in the initial stages for our company. We are in the process of scrubbing and entering customer data into the system. However, all of a sudden no user can login but the system administrator under whose account CRM was installed. When another configured user tries to login(pointing their browser to the crm servername), a dialog box appears with a picture of a pad lock on it and this is what it says: Invalid User Rights "The logged-on user or the selected user is either disabled in the system or does not have any roles assigned. For more information, contact your system administrator." I assure you that every user is enabled, has roles assigned to them, and has valid licenses. Also, they are logged on properly to the domain with the same user names configured for CRM. I've tried disabling then and re-enabling their accounts, re-assigning their license, etc. I do get a different error when I try to log them on when they're disabled or have no license - which is expected. Again, the system admin account, which is mine, is the only one that CRM is allowing to open. All others are getting this error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. J.

    - CRM Contract Issues We're experiencing a few issues with Service Contracts. #1 Under the Eastern Eastern Standard Time setting we are unable to indicate the start date (ie) of Sept 1/04 and the end date of Aug 31/05. For some reason under EST it defaults the contract end date to Sept 1/05. But the contract ends on Aug 31/05. The most unusual thing is â?? it will accept the end date of Aug 31/05 if your time setting is set for Pacific Time. Please note that this contract is still in draft mode and the same error message appears when I try to save it with a start date of Sept 1/04 and the end date of Aug 31/05. #2 I had a contract entered under CRM that was in â??draftâ??. The end date passed prior to it being activated and the contract became â??expiredâ??. I made a â??copyâ?? of the expired contract and made some changes as the customer has chosen to go monthly. Unfortunately, I am unable to change the dates and receive this error message: "the start and/or end date is invalid" In short it won't allow for the new copied contract to be completed. #3 Can anyone suggest how we are to renew/copy/revise a contract without having to re-enter a new contract with new contract lines? Keep in mind the only major change to the contract was the start and end dates of the â??copiedâ?? contract. Or is this something I'd have to build a custom button to do?

    - Goldmine Conversion - E-mail Activities Hi all, I am having problem importing email records from Goldmine 4.0 to CRM 1.2. I have extracted the following attributes into cdf for cdf_activity table: activitytypecode, activitytypecodename, subject, description, directioncode, owningusername, objectid, objecttypecode,statecode,directioncode,scheduledstart and end, actualstart and end, sender, toRecipients. And then I populated cdf_activitybase table with the following attributes: activityID, PartyObjectTypeCode, PartyObjectTypeCodeName, PartyID, ParticipationTypeMask, AddressUsed. I only create record for 'Sender' and 'To' for the activity party. However, when I look for email records after import, CRM gives me a very general error message without leaving any hints on which data is not correct. Any idea is appreciated. Thank you all.

    - Advance Find in Activities Histories I asked this a while back but the answer did not work, and perhaps it was that I was not clear in my description of the problem, so I will try again. I have just converted activities from 20,000 clients from Goldmine into CRM 1.2. Most of these contacts/accounts have numerous activities which we have converted to historical activities on the Activities/History Tab. When you open an Account, go to Activities, then the History tab, all the activities display. I can click on the Type title to sort them and use the page -> to move between the pages and pages of activities. In some cases there are 50+ pages of these activities for one contact and if you are looking for 1 specifically it can be hard to locate. You can't get access to Advanced Find from within the Activities, History. If you use the Tool menu, Advanced Find in the main window, you can only look for the activity but you need to know a lot about it specifically for the search. For example you can't, in the first line, choose search by Accounts, Field:Account Name, Condition:Contains, Value: Algo, then on the second line choose Activities, Field: Type, Condition:Equals, Value:Fax, then Activities, Field:Activity Subject, Condition:Contains, Value: (oc:Joanne Bird) You can only do seaching on one entity type and its fields and you have to know a lot about the activity to narrow the search. It would be nice to be able to Find the Account/Contact in the Find box, select the Activities Tab, then the History Tab, then start a search at that point. Any recommendations or will the advanced searching be extended in the next version? Thanks! Shauna Tag: CRM Server Installation Error!!! Tag: 33904

When some of our users enter a phone number like 717-123-4567, CRM will change it to (717) 123-4567 after the record is saved. This only happens on select computers. Does anyone have an idea what is affecting the formatting in CRM? Thanks. Tag: CRM Server Installation Error!!! Tag: 33898

Hello,

I had installed CRM Server(Demo Version from Action Pack) in a pc which has
Windows 2000 Server.
Active Directory, Exchange Server are in another Server(PDC) which has
windows 2000 Server OS. There is a problem since i have uninstalled CRM
Server, CRM Databases and Active Directory objects
because of a problem during previous installation. When i try installing
again CRM Server the following msg is displayed :

"Setup was unable to install Microsoft CRM Server.
Setup was unable to determine your account name".

Also i have the following log file:

Also i would like to mention that when i try installing CRM SERVER in the
main server(PDC),
NONE MSG of errors is displayed. So there is a problem with the second
server.

Does anyone know what exactly means the msg above??

Thanks in advance,

Stelios
