    - Too many OUs in AD created As described in the Implementation Guide for CRM the installation script created several nested OUs in our AD. When I controlled the AD structure I found three instead of two nested OUs with the name of our company. In the OU on the top of this structure there is no other OU or object. What can I do to change this to the "normal" structure with only two nested OUs with the same name? Is it possible to move the second level OU to the top level without any risc? P.S.: Before I installed CRM V. 1.2 the OU with our company name already existed in our AD. Maybe this caused the installation script to generate the mentioned structure.

    - Printing Custom reports through MSCRM Hi, I have created a set of custom reports with Crystal Reports 9 and added the reports to MSCRM by using the CRM Report Manager. For some reason, when I try to print the custom reports through MSCRM, I am prompted for CRM server user name and password each time. One report has a sub-report in in, and in order to be able to print that one, I need to enter user name and password and twice, once for the main report and another time for the subreport. For the record, I am not prompted for the user name and password when I print "out-of-the-box" reports... How do I go about finding and resolving the problem? Thanks in advance!

    - IP works but FQDN doesn't I have just finished migrating an MSCRM 1.2 server from one box to another. I backed up the database, restored it on the new box and then installed MSCRM 1.2 successfully. The problem is that if I access the new installation by it's IP address it works correctly. If I RDC into the new installation and access it via http://localhost it works correctly as well. But if I use the fqdn and reference the entire domain name as http://cmr.atlanta.ledet.com, I get a connection dialog box asking for a username and password 3 times then an access denied message. What could cause access via an IP address to work correctly, but through a FQDN to deny access. The FQDN does resolve correctly and I can use the FQDN from the MSCRM box in Windows Explorer just fine. For example, \\cmr.atlanta.ledet.com\c$ resolves just fine to the local c: - Sterling Tag: changing lookup columns Tag: 34103

    - Owner assignment problem I have issues with the way CRM cascades entity ownership to child records. Specifically, I want to be able to control what it cascades changes to. We have three sales departments which do not work in teams. An opportunity may be created by a salesperson that is not the owner. But it seems that if any change is made to the account or contact that the opportunity is linked to, then the opportunity and all of its activities get reassigned. Since I cannot turn this "feature" off, I am about to turn on a stored procedure that I have written that processes a log table populated by triggers on the opportunitybase and activitybase tables. This procedure goes through and reverts the owninguser and owningbusinessunit columns if the original owningbusinessunit is different than the one that has been recently assigned. This should work for my company because we do not have a need to assign records across departments. I did it this way since failing the update transaction would probably rollback some stuff that would break the app or the db. Below is the proc, it'll run every five minutes. Basically, I want to know: Is this a bad idea? CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[custom_revert_object_owner] AS declare @old_user uniqueidentifier, @old_bizunit uniqueidentifier, @objectid uniqueidentifier, @objecttypecode int /*Process Opportunities*/ declare rowset cursor for select old_owninguser, old_owningbusinessunit, objectid from custom_changed_owners_log where objecttypecode = 3 and old_owningbusinessunit in (select businessunitid from businessunitbase where [name] in ('Sales Group 1','Sales Group 2','Sales Group 3')) and old_owningbusinessunit <> new_owningbusinessunit and processed = 0 open rowset fetch next from rowset into @old_user, @old_bizunit, @objectid while @@fetch_status = 0 begin update opportunitybase set owninguser = @old_user, owningbusinessunit = @old_bizunit where opportunityid = @objectid update custom_changed_owners_log set processed = 1 where objectid = @objectid fetch next from rowset into @old_user, @old_bizunit, @objectid end close rowset deallocate rowset /* Process Activities */ declare rowset cursor for select old_owninguser, old_owningbusinessunit, objectid from custom_changed_owners_log where objecttypecode <> 3 and old_owningbusinessunit in (select businessunitid from businessunitbase where [name] in ('Sales Group 1','Sales Group 2','Sales Group 3')) and old_owningbusinessunit <> new_owningbusinessunit and processed = 0 open rowset fetch next from rowset into @old_user, @old_bizunit, @objectid while @@fetch_status = 0 begin update activitybase set owninguser = @old_user, owningbusinessunit = @old_bizunit where activityid = @objectid update custom_changed_owners_log set processed = 1 where objectid = @objectid fetch next from rowset into @old_user, @old_bizunit, @objectid end close rowset deallocate rowset GO Tag: changing lookup columns Tag: 34092

    - Exchange Connector - do I need it? I know that the Exchange connector is designed to route incoming messages to CRM as activities. The question is--do I need to install the connector to get the ability to email FROM CRM?? Our client does not currently want the auto-creation of activities from incoming messages, but would like the ability to send email from inside the CRM app. Right now, when I attempt to send an email from CRM, I get an error: "Missing Microsoft CRM Key" Also: how does email work for Offline Outlook clients? Surely it doesn't cache the outgoing messages until it can sync with the main CRM system. Hopefully it would send it through the local Outlook client immediately. Thanks !

    - CRM, Crystal reports and Printable order; How to pull data Hi all, I have created an order form using Crystal reports. On that form I have fields for Customer's technical contact and commercial contact. In the contact DB, those are boolean fields. I am trying to pull Commercial contact's name into the COmmercial contact name field and Technical contact's name into the Technical contact name field on the order form. I have tried the following formula: if{contact.CFB_OS_Contact_Main_Commercial} then {contact.fullname} (and for the technical contact field I have used the same logic) It does not seem to work. Just a clarification, an account may have several contacts, but only one per acct should be tagged as "main commercial" What seems to be happening, is that Crystal returns several results, as many as there are contacts under that acct. How can I create a formula that Picks the right values and disregards the ones that do not fulfil the criteria? Thanks, Pete Tag: changing lookup columns Tag: 34064

    - eResources --> Get Directions in Canada Hi, Has anyone developed a fix or a work-around for the eResources --> Get Directions to work in Canada? It looks as if the MSCRM developers hard-coded the query to MapPoint to only use U.S. addresses instead of also passing the country parameter as well.

    - 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: changing lookup columns Tag: 34032

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).

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: changing lookup columns Tag: 33981

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: changing lookup columns Tag: 33980

    - 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: changing lookup columns Tag: 33965

Anybody know a way to add a column to the LookUp screen for Accounts? When I
am in a contact record and want to choose a parent account, I would like more
columns to distinguish between the different accounts that come up. This
isn't the Advanced Find or Associated View for Accounts so I can't see where
to add the columns. I've even checked the QueryBase table and don't see any
one that looks like it applies. Thanks.

There is no supported way to do this in v.1x.

Check this folder if you feel curious:
\\CRMSERVER\c$\Inetpub\wwwroot\_controls\lookup\lookupxml
