CRM Server Requirements
Hi,
We are pursuing a prospect that is running NT4.0 and will be upgrading to
Win2003. ( and yes we know that we have/should wait til CRM 1.2 before
installing CRM)
They will run the 'real version' of SQL and Exchange on one box. Even
though they are a 'small' company, only 15 users, they aren't going to use
SBS.
My question is given that the box will be pretty spiffy - P4, 2.5 gighz,
dual processors with 3 meg of memory (as prescribed by their infrastructure
company) can I install CRM on this same machine?
The user guide explains a SBS configuration with up to 25 users and then
jumps to 2 server configuration to support up to 100 users.
They don't address a non-SBS small installation running only 20 users or so.
Any thoughts?

CRM Grids
I've written an app for CRM and everything works. However its a bit ugly and
horribly slow. Its located on the Account nav bar, and that loads up all the
activities associated with it (be it opportunity, contact, or quote). So its
similar to the one there, I just want to show more data and sort.
I have my data entering into a datatable then placed into a datagrid. Now
I'm looking into how they did, and since the SDK doesn't cover this at all,
I only have the "_grid" folder under wwwroot for an idea. I tried playing
with with Microsoft.CRM.Web.Grid and Microsfot.CRM.Controls.Grid, but havn't
had much success.
Whats the best way to go about using grids in CRM? I just want to mimic, for
example, the activities grid.
thanks,

Distribution database
Has anyone noticed their distribution database growing
unusually large. Ours is up to 1.7GB while our other
databases are relatively small.
Q1: Is there a way I can drop and recreate this db?
Q2: Is this normal or is there an underlying problem that
needs to be addressed?
Q3: Do I need to backup the distribution database for
distaster recovery? (I am backing up the other 3 dbs as
well)
Thanks in advance. Tag: XP with/versus 2000 Tag: 7158
Excel 2000
Is it possible to use concatenation with VLOOKUP? Is
there another way to do the same?
I have several worksheet files, say BB03CP79.XLS,
BW01CP69.XLS, DW02CP72.XLS, BW02CP59.XLS, etc.
Furthermore, each worksheet file contains 3 worksheets,
FLOCK RECORD, GROW OUT, GROWER PAY.
I am creating a new worksheet to pull certain information
from each of the worksheet files. In this file I will
create column headings that matches the Worksheet files
that I am referencing, BB03CP79, BW01CP69, DW02CP72,
BW02CP59. Because of the length of my formulas which use
the VLOOKUP command, they get pretty long. I would like
to use CONCATENATE to combine the first part of the
formula with my column headings (file name) and the last
part of the formula.
My formula may look like this:
=IF('[BB03CP79.XLS]Flock Record'!$A$13<$A17, VLOOKUP
($A17,'[BB03CP79.XLS]Flock Record'!$A$13:$Y$64,25),0)+IF
('F:\Shared\Flockrecords\GA\[BB03CP79B.XLS]Flock Record'!
$A$13<$A17, VLOOKUP
($A17,'F:\Shared\Flockrecords\GA\[BB03CP79B.XLS]Flock
Record'!$A$13:$Y$64,25),0)
CONCATENATE seems to work only with text not formulas. If
that is true, do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you. Tag: XP with/versus 2000 Tag: 7156
Licensing on Great Plains integration
Hi all,
We are interested in implementing Great Plains with Microsoft CRM. If I
have 20 sales people using CRM to place sales orders using the Great Plains
integration from CRM do they need licensing in Great Plains plus the named
licenses in CRM?
Thanks.

SQL Server 2000 fatal exception c0000005
I have isolated a situation that will cause SQL Server
2000 to experience a fatal c000005 error every time.
However it defies my understanding of what is happening.
I have a table that contains two columns of GUID info.
These two columns are included as members of a five column
Unique Constraint. The first is the highest order of the
UC, and is defined as NOT NULL. The second is the lowest
order and is defined as NULL. The Unique Constraint
processes just fine against my 61 rows of test data.
If I now create an index on the column that represents the
highest order member of the Unique Constraint, I will
experience the fatal exception every time. When I removed
the Unique Constraint and instead substituted a simple non-
unique clustered index, the problem went away. This is my
current workaround, but it requires me to manage the
uniqueness in the application code rather than in the
database.
If anyone has any ideas as to what may be causing this
problem, I would be most interested to learn more about
it. I have been able to extract the one table, its one
Unique Constraint and its one Index, and can recreate this
problem 100% of the time whenever I run the CREATE scripts
in Query Analyzer. Tag: XP with/versus 2000 Tag: 7142
Framework 1.1, security and running external web apps
We wish to deploy our own web app on the CRM server to
automate some tasks within the CRM using the SDK, but we
have hit some problems with security & mixing versions of
the .NET framework -
The CRM uses V1.0 of the .NET Framework
We use V1.1
I've worked out how to mix the versions without breaking
both apps using aspnet_regiis.exe, but we've hit a brick
wall with setting up the security :( (basically no-one
could run our app).
After checking directory/iis security the problem boiled
down to the 1.1 framework install didn't create the ASPNET
worker process user - we think this is because its a
domain controller. So we manually created this. We found
an article explaining that the user needs to be given
rights to Log on as a Batch Job, set this and rebooted and
now the ASPNET user can launch our web app, but no-one
else can (despite the fact we have 'allow users = '*'' in
the web.config). What am I missing? Tag: XP with/versus 2000 Tag: 7138
MS CRM - Has any one tested with SQL Cluster and Exchange Cluster
Hi!
We are also trying to use MS CRM using our existing SQL
Server Cluster and Exchange Server Cluster. We are told
by the MS Reseller that this configuration will not work
and insists that we need to buy additional licenses of
SQL / Exchange and also host them in separate boxes. We
are in a fix as we have a disaster recovery site!! I have
also been told that MS CRM does not work with named sql
server instance!!!!! If you have been successful, please
let us know. It will be useful for us.
Thanks in Advance

CRM SQL Database
We are seeing a size of over 19 GB on our SQL Database for
Microsoft CRM. That is on the MSCRM_log database. This
surprises me because we have only been using CRM for about
6 months and also, all of our data and all of our email
combined only adds up to about 12 GB of total size. Is
this normal or is there something we can do to clean
things up regularly? This is not a problem now, but if
the DB continues to grow at this rate, then it will become
a problem much sooner than we anticipated.
Thank You,
Chad Tag: XP with/versus 2000 Tag: 7127
