=?Utf-8?Q?Sales_Letters_-_Is_this_really_=E2=80=98?=
I am in general very enthusiastic about Microsoft CRM and in particular like
its workflow and its framework.
However, to perform some very common sales activities such as send a sales
letter to a contact associated to an opportunity it seems very time
consuming.
Is there a better way?
Using Microsoft CRM it takes at least 38 clicks or actions â?? minimal of 5
minutes
open opportunity â??> opportunity window opens
click on company â??> company window opens
click on contact â??> contact window opens
select action menu â??> then select â??mail mergeâ??
select template button -> ok -> new window opens
select required template -> ok -> word opens -> then â??mail merge recipientsâ??
window opens with contact details in each field
select ok
press â??next review your lettersâ??
check format of address and rest of content letter is ok
press â??next complete the mergeâ??
press print -> ok
press â??edit individual lettersâ?? -> ok
select close document and save to my documents folder remembering the file
name
go to opportunity window
select actions menu -> add activity -> letter -> letter new window opens
type subject of letter -> save
select paper clip (attach file) -> attachment new window opens
press browse and go to folder where letter was saved and select document
file name -> open
press attach button
press close button
select actions menu -> close letter -> select status = sent -> ok
press close button to close letter window
press save and close button to close opportunity
Select contact window â??> save and close
Select company -> save and close
Using our previous CRM product â?? about 8 clicks or actions â?? 1 minute maximum
go to opportunity
select hot key Ctrl L (for Letter)
select letter template required -> ok
word opens with required letter
check format of address and rest of content letter is ok
select print
close letter (letter it automatically stored against prime contact and
opportunity)
if subject of letter needs to be modified click documents button on
opportunity window and retype subject Tag: AVC license key ? Tag: 52127
CRM Deployment Manager
Hi,
After a number of trial installs and fine tuning of my installation process
I have finally install CRM 3.0 on our live server.
The installation went without a hitch. No prereq' problems and no errors
during install. I rebooted the server, ran through the CRM SBS Edition
Config Wiard to find that it couldn't apply the changes to the server.
OK I thought, perhaps my user (administrator) needs adding to the user list
so I launched the CRM Deployment Manager on to get the following error:
The server http://CRM/MSCRMService/ is not responding. This might happen if
it is currently unavailable, it is not a Microsoft CRM server, or you do not
have sufficient priveleges to run User Manager. For more information contact
your system administrator.
I installed CRM as administrator and ran Config Wizard and Deployment
manager whilst logged on as administrator. All CRM services are running and
the only errors in the event log are HTTP errors relating to the fax router
service.
One last piece of info. If I try to browse the CRM website through IIS I
get the CRM Access Denied Page.
Can anyone help as I'm so close to a good installation but can't get any
users deployed.
Thanks,

CRM 3.0 Mobile installlation issue
I an trying to install CRM 3.0 Mobile Beta on an existing CRM 3.0 server
which works very well.
Brief steps are as below:
1. install .NET 2.0 Framework over CRM server
2. Run setup.exe under CRM 3.0 Mobile Beta CD
3. Select "Microsoft CRM Network" at the 1st window
4. Select to accept EULA and click Next.
A messagebox pops up saying that:
Setup did not find a Microsoft CRM user with the required privileges for
the Microsoft CRM Mobile user account. This user must have Read privilege at
the Organization level for Record Customization and User. Assign these
privileges to an existing user or to a new user created for this
installation, and then restart setup.
I haded tried to create users with a custom Security Role which has
privileges for reading all objects at Organization level and also Go Mobile

Outlook CPU Hog after CRM v3.0 Client
I am finding that once you put the CRM client on a workstation (not a
laptop, just a normal workstation) the CPU pegs to about 95% for about 10
seconds every 30 seconds.
In just 20 hours of run time, Outlook consumes just over 4 hours of CPU time
in task manager.

How to PassParams to ASP
I have several forms pre-designed in ASP that I want to integrate as
printable forms in CRM. I have the isv configuration down and have set my
buttons to passparams = 1. However, I haven't been able to collect the
variables using ASP. Tried several variations of request oId to no avail.
Maybe I have to collect using .Net but I don't really see the difference when
a variable is sent to another page.
Example: On the order form window I have created a button named "Print Work
Order". The button links to an ASP page which in theory should collect the
GUID, query the database with it, and then create a printable work order for
our techs to use in the field.

Installing CRM3 on non-SBS domain controller
Hi
I want to install CRM 3 Profressional on a Win2k3 domain controller.
In the implementation guide it states:
"Microsoft CRM Server must not be installed on a Domain Controller"
SQL Server 2000 will also be on the box, but I won't be using Exchange.
I know SBS is recommended for this setup, but I can not use it.
This is for a development environment only, so I am not concerned if
the setup is not supported. Why did Microsoft make this statement? Is
it because there actually are technical roadblocks, or just because
they have not tested this configuration thoroughly?
Can I do it?
