    - To get user training manual for Microsoft CRM 3.0 Hello I am implementing Microsoft CRM 3.0 for an health care company in Michigan. Right now I have experience with installation, customizing and CRM application functions for 2 years. In the future I would like to pursue my future as a Microsoft CRM consultant. Thus, I would like to get all 3 of certificates of Microsoft CRM:- Which is:- 1. Application 2. Customizing 3. Installation and Configuration The problem I have is I work for a company which I am not permanent employee, and this company is not Microsoft Partner also. So If I would like to have user manuals for preparation to take exam of above 3 courses, where can I get those manuals? Can you please suggest? Thank you very much. Amnouy J.

    - Changing the server license Is there a way to quickly change the server license with CRM 3.0? I installed the program with a 10 user license, but now want to use the Open License key. I tried to change the key in the SQL database, and that works except for the users. Once you change the key, it removes all the entered users in CRM. So you cannot add anyone, even the administrator. These databases and CRM package have been modified so I would like to change this on the backend if possible. Removing and reinstalling is such a pain with the reporting services and changing of the databases, I am hoping there is a quick solution. This is running on Windows 2003 and SQL 2005. Thanks.

    - Tasks synchronising with Outlook a/c Hi, When a new Activity has been created in the CRM ie a task, should it not appear in the Tasks of the outlook a/c as well? And vice versa? Or does the Outlook Client need to be installed in order for this to happen? Regards Steve Tag: There is a problem communicating with the Microsoft CRM server Tag: 81498

    - Regarding field data disappears from CRM Task when copying to Cale I've created a workflow rule so that a TASK is created, whenever I've made an ORDER in CRM. In Outlook, I sometimes schedule or time register by copying tasks to the Outlook Calendar, thus converting them to an Appointment in the process. Hereby, the field "Regarding" (placed just right of "Track in CRM") which refers to the ORDER from which the TASK was created, is emptied, and I have to point to the order again manually. Does someone know of a method to solve this problem? Thanks Tag: There is a problem communicating with the Microsoft CRM server Tag: 81496

    - Sample user mapping with actual users Hi all, I have installed Microsoft CRM Server. I used the Sample Database Wizard to import users into CRM. Out of the 12 sample users, I mapped 5 users to my actual users from Active Directory. But when I see users from the Settings tab, there is only CRM Administrator user. There are neither the sample users nor my actual users. Can anybody give some idea about how I can view my mapped actual users?

    - Search emails for word "attachment" then check if there is one The most common Outlook user error is typing a message with an alleged attachment, then forgetting the attachment!

Every time you change it, it appends another value to the list (there is no way through the interface to clear these values out). If you ever save the tracking prefix as blank (done in Settings --> organization settings -->System settings, e-mail tracking tab) you will end up with this problem. You have to go into the database to update the prefix manually or contact MS for the hot-fix.

    - Offline Synchronization I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction on an issue that we are experiencing with the offline access to CRM. We discovered local data filters and set up some and were able to create new filters and go offline creating the offline database. Unfortunately, when we try to go back online we get an error. I looked up the error in Knowledgebase and it said something about the Snapshot Replication service not running. The Knowledgebase article was for CRM 1.2 so maybe there are different issues for 3.0. We do not have any replication services running for the CRM database at all. Should there be in order to synch back up and go online? Are there any specific scripts that we need to run to set up replication? Tag: There is a problem communicating with the Microsoft CRM server Tag: 81426

Or, my actual question is: What is the recommended method for a complete and clean uninstall of the CRM Outlook client - both the online and offline versions ==== Excerpt from the manual ============ Uninstall the Microsoft CRM Client for Outlook Note The following procedure must be done while logged on to the client computer as the user who installed the Outlook client initially. 1. If you have been working offline, reconnect your computer to your network and go online. This will synchronize your offline data with the Microsoft CRM server. 2. On the Start menu, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Add or Remove Programs. 3. Select Microsoft CRM Desktop (Laptop) client for Microsoft Office Outlook and click Change. 4. On the Microsoft CRM client for Microsoft Office Outlook Maintenance page, click Uninstall, and then click Next. 5. Delete the Microsoft CRM folder located at: <systemdrive>:\Program Files\Microsoft CRM 6. Delete the database folder (and files) located at: <systemdrive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$CRM 7. Search for an MSCRM.pst file on the drive where the Outlook client was installed and, if it exists, delete it. Important Uninstalling the Microsoft CRM client for OutlookÂ® may require restarting the computer. If you have uninstalled the Microsoft CRM client for Outlook terminal services server, make sure you restart the computer at a time that will not affect other terminal service sessions.

    - Why do I get an resource scheduling conflict with an 'Any Site' ru Hello, I have set up a Selection Rule for one of my Services: Choose [1] from [Any site] from: User1 User2 User3... But when I try and schedule a service activity for SiteA for a user from SiteB, I get a resource scheduling conflict: "Service selection rules for the required resource User1 cannot be met". I do not get this message when the service activity Site is the same as the user's Site. But I need to be able to schedule any user from any site without the conflict error message. It's as if CRM is ignoring the [Any site] parameter and thinks I've set the selection rule as [Same site].

    - Worflow sending to wrong Contact. I have a simple workflow rule that is set to send out an email to a contact when a new case is created. On the case there is a field called responsiblecontactid. I am noticing that the workflow is not sending the notification to the user specified in this field. Is it because the workflow is only referring the primary contact on the account record? If so, that's definitely a bummer. A case can be created on behalf of many contacts that are associated to a given account. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks!

    - Did you read about that? you can take a look for this web sites http://www.theholyquran.org/ http://www.islamway.com/SF/quran/ http://www.geocities.com/islamone_l/index.htm http://www.imanway.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=3D90 or read this =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D What is Islam? ABOUT THE WORDS "ISLAM" AND "MUSLIM" The name of this religion is Islam, the root of which is S-L-M, which means peace. The word "Salam," derived from the same root, may also mean greeting one another with peace. One of the beautiful names of God is that He is Peace. But Islam means more than that: it means submission to the One God, and it means living in peace with the Creator -- peace within one's self, peace with other people, and peace with the environment. Thus, Islam is a total system of living. A Muslim is supposed to live in peace and harmony with all these segments. It follows that a Muslim is any person, anywhere in the world, whose obedience, allegiance, and loyalty are to God, the Lord of the Universe. IS "MUSLIM" THE SAME AS ARAB? The followers of Islam are called Muslims. Muslims are not to be confused with Arabs. Muslims may be Arabs, Turks, Persians, Indians, Pakistanis, Malaysians, Indonesians, Europeans, Africans, Americans, Chinese, or other nationalities. An Arab could be a Muslim, a Christian, a Jew or an atheist. Any person who adopts the Arabic language is called an Arab. The language of the Qur'an (the Holy Book of Islam) is Arabic. Muslims all over the world try to learn or improve their Arabic, so that they may be able to read the Qur'an and understand its meaning. They pray in the language of the Qur'an, Arabic. Islamic supplications to God could be (and are) delivered in any language. There are one billion Muslims in the world; there are about 200 million Arabs. Among those two hundred million Arabs, approximately ten percent are not Muslims. Thus Arab Muslims constitute only about twenty percent of the Muslim population of the world. - ALLAH THE ONE AND THE ONLY GOD "Allah" was the Arabic word for God long before the birth of Muhammad, peace be upon him. Muslims believe that Allah is the name of the One and Only God. He is the Creator of all human beings. He is the God for the Christians, the Jews, the Muslims, the Buddhists, the Hindus, the atheists, and all others. Muslims worship God, whose name is Allah. They put their trust in Him and they seek His help and His guidance. MUHAMMAD Muhammad was chosen by God to deliver His Message of Peace, namely Islam. He was born in 570 C.E. (Common Era) in Makkah, Arabia. He was entrusted with the Message of Islam when he was at the age of forty years. The revelation that he received is called the Qur'an, while the message is called Islam. Muhammad is the very last Prophet of God to mankind. He is the final Messenger of God. His message was and is still to the Christians, the Jews and the rest of mankind. He was sent to those religious people to inform them about the true mission of Jesus, Moses, Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham. Muhammad is considered to be the summation and the culmination of all the prophets and messengers that came before him. He purified the previous messages from adulteration and completed the Message of God for all humanity. He was entrusted with the power of explaining, interpreting and living the teaching of the Qur'an. ISLAM AND NON-MUSLIMS Muslims are required to respect all those who are faithful and God conscious people, namely those who received messages. Christians and Jews are called People of the Book. Muslims are asked to call upon the People of the Book for common terms, namely, to worship One God, and to work together for the solutions of the many problems in the society. Christians and Jews lived peacefully with Muslims throughout centuries in the Middle East and other Asian and African countries. The second Caliph, Umar, chose not to pray in the church in Jerusalem, so as not to give later Muslims an excuse to take it over. Christians entrusted the Muslims, and as such the key of the Church in Jerusalem is still in the hands of the Muslims. When Jews fled from Spain during the Inquisition, they were welcomed by the Muslims. They settled in the heart of the Islamic Caliphate. They enjoyed positions of power and authority. Throughout the Muslim world, churches, synagogues and missionary schools were built within the Muslim neighborhoods. These places were protected by Muslims during bad times and good, and have continued to receive this protection during the contemporary crises in the Middle East =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D What is the Qur'=E2n? The Qur'=E2n is the name given to Allah's speech that He revealed to His servant and Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him); speech that is recited as an act of worship, is miraculous, and cannot be imitated by man. It is the name of Allah's Book, and no other book is called by this name. The connection between the Creator and his Creation is by way of His Messengers, and these Messengers only know what Allah wants from them by way of revelation, either directly or indirectly. The rational mind cannot dismiss the possibility of revelation, since nothing is difficult for the all-powerful Creator revelation is a communication between two beings: one that speaks, commands, and gives, and another who is addressed, commanded, and receives. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) - as with every Prophet - never confused himself with the One who gave the revelation to him. As a human being, he felt his weakness before Allah, feared Allah's wrath if he should disobey, and hoped for Allah's mercy. Proves why it is impossible that Mohammad (Pbuh) wrote the Quran : 1=2E No matter how brilliant or insightful a person might be, there is no way that he could discuss the happenings of nations lost to antiquity, issues of belief and Divine Law, the rewards and punishments of Heaven and Hell, and future events, all in such great detail without any contradiction and with a most perfect style and literary form. The Prophet (peace be upon him) had never once read a book nor met with any historian 2=2E The Qur'=E2n makes to the disbelievers a stern challenge that they will never be able to produce a chapter similar to it. Such a challenge would never have come from the Messenger (peace be upon him) 3=2E The Qur'=E2n, in some places, sternly rebukes Muhammad (peace be upon him) where he acted upon his own judgment in something and did not decide on what is best. The Qur'=E2n clarified the truth and showed the error of the Prophet (peace be upon him). 4=2E Many verses of the Qur'=E2n begin with the imperative verb "Say!" As a matter of fact, this occurs more than three hundred times, addressing Muhammad (peace be upon him) and directing him with respect to what he should say. He, thus, did not follow his own desires; he followed only what was revealed to him. 5=2E Complete harmony exists between what the Qur'=E2n says regarding the physical world and what has been discovered by modern science. This has been a source of amazement for a number of contemporary western researchers. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D Who was Muhammad? Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born in Makkah in the year 570, during the period of history Europeans called the Middle Ages. Muhammad was the son of Aamenah and Abdullah, from the tribe of Quraysh. He was a direct descendant of Ishmael, the eldest son of prophet Abraham. Muhammad's father died just before he was born, and his mother passed away when he was six. He was raised by this grandfather, the chief of Makkah; and upon his grandfather's death, Muhammad came under the care of his uncle, Abu Talib. Muhammad was a shepherd in his youth. As he grew up, he became known for his truthfulness, generosity, and sincerity; earning the title of al Amin, the trustworthy one. Muhammad was frequently called upon to arbitrate disputes and counsel his fellow Makkans. At age 25, Muhammad married Khadijah, an honorable and successful businesswoman. They were blessed with two sons and four daughters. It was an ideal marriage and they lived a happy family life. Muhammad was of a contemplative nature and had long detested the decadence and cruelty of his society. It became his habit to meditate from time to time in the cave of Hira' near the summit of Jabal an- Nur, the "Mountain of Light" on the outskirts of Makkah. How did Muhammad become a Messenger of God? At the age of 40, while engaged in a meditative retreat, Muhammad received his first revelation from God through the Archangel Gabriel. This revelation, which continued for twenty three years, is known as the Qur'an Muhammad began to share the revelations he received from God with the people of Makkah. They were idol worshippers, and rejected Muhammad's call to worship only One God. They opposed Muhammad and his small group of followers in every way. These early Muslims suffered bitter persecution. In 622, God gave the Muslim community the command to emigrate. This event, the hijrah or migration, in which they left Makkah for the city of Madinah, some 260 miles to the North, marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar. Madinah provided Muhammad and the Muslims a safe and nurturing haven in which the Muslim community grew. After several years, the Prophet and his followers returned to Makkah and forgave their enemies. Then, turning their attention to the Ka'bah (the sanctuary that Abraham built), they removed the idols and rededicated it to the worship of the One God. Before the Prophet died at the age of 63, most of the people of Arabia had embraced his message. In less than a century, Islam had spread to Spain in the west, as far east as China.

Hi,

During the installation of the CRM Outlook Client I have a problem where I
cannot connect to the CRM server. I used the same address to connect CRM
Server via the web browser.

I then proceeded with the installation, hoping I could configure this after
I've completed the installation. I couldn't find anywhere how I could
configure the CRM Outlook client (Bit daft I thought or is it just me??)

When I fired up Outlook I got these messages:

"There is a problem communicating with the Microsoft CRM server. The server
might be unavailable. Try again later. If the problem persists, contact your
system administrator."

"An error occurred loading Microsoft CRM functionality.
Try restarting Microsof Outlook
Contact your system administrator ir errors persist."

The closest I got to finding a similar problem out there was at this link:

http://www.workopia.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=11;t=000068

I wanted to know whether it's possible to connect to the CRM Server without
being a member of the domain which the CRM is installed on?

Thanks

Steve
