    - Managing users' CRM 4.0 for Outlook settings Is there a way to centrally manage users' CRM 4.0 for Outlook settings? (Perhaps via AD group policy, for example) By "settings" I mean all those settings in the users' personal CRM 4.0 for Outlook options: eg when synchronization occurs, what gets synchronized, local data groups etc...; Thanks!

    - Authentication Methods Hi, I have for the last few weeks been having an issue accessing my CRM 4 install from workstation machines. When I tried to access I was asked for a UID and Password, after three attempts I was given a 401 error saying not authorised. I also have an installation of SharePoint server on the same machine and got the same issue as accessing CRM. Just last night a found an article on the microsoft KB for switching the Authentication to NTLM only not Kerberos and NTLM. I followed the instructions and this solved the issue on the MOSS side of things, I am no longer asked for a UID and Password. Now I was wondering if someone could tell me how I change the CRM system to Authenticate using NTLM only so I can test if this will resolve the problem on that side. I look forward to any responses.

    - Specifying source campaign in Opp., not counting as campaign respo General usage question regarding campaigns. If we create a campaign, then specify that campaign as the source campaign for an opportunity, that opportunity/account is not then listed as a response to that campaign. So when we run a Campaign Performance report, no responses are listed. Do you have to use the normal method of entering a response within the campaign? I'd think that if you can associate a campaign within the opportunity, that linkage would reflect in a Campaign Performance report. Thanks!!

    - LOOKOUT - OUTLOOK CRM CLIENT Hi all, just a quick question, does anybody know if Lookout (the old Outlook search add-in) is compatible with the CRM Outlook Client? The two pcs I've been having problems with both either had this installed on them or there were traces in the Registry. I suspect that when we redid the Windows profile of the first user to have this problem, the Registry traces were removed at the same time, and that's why it worked. I'm going to look into it on Monday, but I was wondering how plausible that line of attack sounded to anyone here. Thanks in advance for any feedback or help that you can give me!

    - Mapping to 'Owner' attribute using Data Migration Manager I'm having a problem when I run the Data Migration Manager for MS CRM 4.0. I try to map a valid User to the 'Owner' field and I keep getting an error that the data is not in the right format. I can assign the user to other fields that use User data just not the Owner one. I've checked that the User has appropriate permissions, and I can change the Owner to the User after through CRM, I just can't seem to do it during migration. Anyone have thoughts on this?

    - CRM 3.0 and Office Accounting 2007 I understand that Gurango used to have a software that connected the two. It was called CRM2OA. They have - as far as I can see - discontinued it. With the discontinuation of this software, is possible that Microsoft (the developer of both CRM AND OA) has created a linking-tool that will work in a similar way as the CRM2OA??? We have CRM 3.0 running here, and we have Office Accounting 2007 running here. We would like to integrate them both so whether you are in one or the other, either one is updated with whatever invoice, client, payments or whatever is being entered.

    - tracking emails in CRM from non-primary inboxes... We have some CRM users that are responsible for generic customer care type issues. They want tracking and email correspondance to come to/from this "customercare" address instead of their own primary address. Typically, they receive these emails in a seperate email container (in exchange) that has an address of customercare@mycompany.com What's the best way to allow them to track emails from these non-primary inboxes? I do not have any extra client licenses to create another CRM account, so I don't think that is an option for me. I'm on CRM 3.0, but plan to move to 4.0 soon. Has this aspect improved any?

    - Opportunity Products in 4.0 Is there a bug in 4.0 with regards to the addition of opportunity products to the opportunity? I can't figure this out but I've done all the set up of units, unit groups, price list items just as it was in 3.0, but yet when I try and add a price list to the opportunity in 4.0 the lookup list is empty.

    - Critical import issue on Dynamics CRM 4.0 (bug?) Hi guys and ladies, I'm using sdk for data map creation and import. This is the scenario: imported record has one lookup field referencing the entity itself. Let's call this field New_lookup. I have both "system" and "source" lookup mappings set up. The lookup is resolved searching on a String property. Let's call this New_externalid. Now, if I'm importing a record that has a value on New_lookup that references an invalid record, the transformation asyncservice creates an Error Row with the message "cannot resolve lookup". This is right. EXCEPT in case the record I'm importing references a record that's not imported. In this case, the transormation service gives an error "An error has occurred. Try this action again.", but THE RECORD IS IMPORTED. So you have a row with an error that gets imported. Example: New_externalid New_lookup Name 1 Name1 << Ok 2 1 Name2 << This lookup has a valid values. Ok 3 5 Name3 << Invalid values. Failure handled correctly 4 3 Name4 << Reference to a row with an error. FAILURE, BUT THE RECORD IS IMPORTED! The problem wouldn't be so annoying if it would be possible to change lookup values using an update import. But, as far as I know, update imports do not process lookup mappings. They simply ignore them. Please, could someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong? Except using crappy import function, I mean. Any help would be really appreciated. By the way, did anyone tried to map a large (> 100 values) picklist? In my experience, the import gives a Failure without further indications. Someone could confirm?

    - Opportunity - Opp product / error Hello, I have a question/bug(?) concerning opportunities, products and the estimated revenue. For a client of us, we need to default the revenue option to "user provided" and put the field to "read only" so no total revenue ican automatically calculated on the opportunity level. THey always need to enter the total revenue manually. But if I now add a product from the PriceList to an OpportunityProduct, the price_per_unit of this product from the PL is not fetched, and no total_amount is calculated on the Opportunity Product Level. If I now re-open the Opportunity Product, I/the_user sees the error message on top of the screen: "The following error occured: An error occurred during pricing of a detail line item." Results: Product: x ... Unit: Y Price per unit = 0,00 Quantity=100 Amount=0,00 I dont think it should be the case that if on Opportunity Level "user calculated" is provided, that on Opportunity_Product level no total_amounts are being calculated. Am I correct? So is this a normal result of my actions, or is there some sort of a bug?

    - Workflow Rule Failing in 3.0 Hey, So I'm not sure why this "Create" WF rule keeps failing, but I have a picklist in a task that is set by the WF rule, based on entity conditions. If the conditions are met the Picklist is set to "Yes" (the picklist has 3 values, "Yes", "No", and "N/A"). I have some OnLoad code that checks this value, and if the Value is "Yes", a function that captures the Click "Save As Complete" event throws an Alert and prevents the action. Thing is, the Workflow rule doesn't set the field and if I go to the Workflow Monitor, I see this error: Update: [My Field] = Yes | [Date/Time] | Fail | Error code: 80041103. Query Builder Error. No Attribute. I have not altered/added/removed any of the Picklist values after creating this Rule, nor did I change the Display Name, Schema Name, or Lable Name.

    - Struggling with resource allocation and services I'm trying to implement the last stage of our CRM and that's the scheduling of resources.

This works ok but if I try and add an extra resource (like a record deck) I get an error as that resource isn't specified in the service. If I try and make a service with all the possible resources in it and then select specific resources I have the problem that the service has to define either a specific number of resources or all of them.

    - CRM 4.0 Campaign Activity - Undeliverable Email So here is my dilemma. I have CRM 4.0 and the Exchange E-mail router set up. The exchange e-mail router is set up so that users may use the forwarding mailbox for receiving e-mail or they may use the e-mail router if they supply their credentials. All outgoing mail is configured in the e-mail router to use the Exchange SMTP server. All of this is working fine. Now my overall goal in all this is to allow me to send a Campaign Activity of type e-mail to a marketing list. I want all undeliverable messages (the message is bounced back) to show up in the Failures section rather than having them show up as Sent in the Email Messages Created section of the Campaign Activity. Is this inherit functionality within CRM? Is there a difference in functionality for how undeliverable messages are handled between the email router and forwarding mailbox methods? Could I get a workflow to do this for me? By having undeliverable messages show up as failures I would get better reporting. I would then also be able to export the failures to excel so that I could run updates on those users to remove their e-mail addresses.

I it was possible to skip in the old crm 3 sales process and I've read its possible in CRM 4 but I can't find a way to do this. How do I skip a stage? 2) Is it possible to show what stage they are in without viewing the whole (complex ) workflow under "workflows"? Of course, I can add a field and update it whenever you enter a stage but are there better ways to solve this? 3) The CRM 3 sales process waited until all tasks in a stage was completed before proceeding to the next stage. It also updated the probability of a sale. I can't find this option in CRM 4. Do I really have to create a "(wait for activity to complete OR wait for activity to be cancelled)" for every activity and add a "sett field 'probability' to n%'" in every stage? What happends if the user deletes the activity? Will the whole workflow become corrupted/defunc? 4) Is there a way to skip a step in the workflow? It seems to me the old sales process was far better than the new workflow-approach to sales processes. Am I missing something?

    - View using attributes of several tables (entities schemas) Is it possible to set a view that is made of more than one entity in CRM 4.0? This is for display and lookup purposes not for reporting. It requires to have an option to choose in the check boxes attributes of the entity that is in database relationship with the entity that the view is being done from.

    - MSCRMAsyncService eating up all CPU performance Hi, We now have implemented a couple of single server/processor 4.0 installations. But often (on 64bit OS) we see MSCRMAsyncService eating up all CPU and a lot of memory from time to time; making working with CRM impossible. Could not be that the service is bussy on something, because CRM is installed from scratch with no data. Anyone? Tag: What's the proper lookup fieldformat for importing products in CRM Tag: 97422

I tried using both the Import feature in Data Management as well as the
Dynamic Data Migration Manager to get a csv product list imported into CRM
4.0 and I keep running into issues with the Unit and Unit Group lookup
fields. I have tried using the GUID as well as the name for each lookup
record and I get a â??The source data is not in the required formatâ?? error. I
also read a post somewhere about formatting the values in that field like
this â??[Account Entity],[GUID]â??. When I do that I get the message â??An error
has occurred. Try this action again. If the problem continues, check the
Microsoft Dynamics community for solutionsâ?¦. â??. I was wondering if anyone
could shed some light on the proper format to use for the lookup field
values. Thanks.

Hello Ray,
I am having the same problem
I have been tring just with a few products and the necessary valueshere is
the file i am using

Productname,ID,currenciy,unit,unitg,decimal
CRMprod1,CRM-CA-PRO,"transactioncurrencies,{F425745A-67EF-DC11-9FB3-00104BD27F1C}","uomschedule,{7C1BA26A-47FD-DB11-A8E4-00104BD27F1C}","uom,{7D1BA26A-47FD-DB11-A8E4-00104BD27F1C}",2

I had no success with this, up to now.
the format looks to be working fine with account a contacts
meaning if you try to use this to import a contact and link it to an account
it is working:

lastname,firstname,parentcustomer
cs,cs,"account,{GUID}"

Hope we find a solution for this
personally I could just creat my own import tool but it is not what the
customers a looking forward to when they see the import option in CRM 4
