Upgrading CRM 4 to CRM 2011 with 3rd party addons.

Before you can upgrade your CRM 4 to 2011, you will need to uninstall all 3rd party addons and check that all buttons have been deleted. After the migration you can then install the latest version of each addon.
 
Should you have not done this, then it will be more complicated to get rid of the buttons and icons before you can install the CRM 2011 addons.


Access rights issues while starting configuration

On a migrated organization, make sure the dcp/gc/ti security role migrated from CRM 4 is deleted.

This migrated role might interfere with the new setup and block the user from installing, because rights are checked wrongly.

That’s it! We appreciate your feedback! Please share your thoughts by sending an email to support@mscrm-addons.com.


Email messages take hours or even days to go out through the email router for MS CRM 4.0

We once had the problem that some emails with a long text in it were taking ages till they were send. We are using the email router to send and receive emails to our support team.

As we moved some months ago from normal exchange to BPOS my first suggestion was that it has to do with the connection between BPOS and the Emailrouter. ( RU 14)

In the event-viewer I recognized the following entry:

#61042 - An error occurred while the outgoing email message with the subject Re: urgent problem with DCP config PTM CRM00114110 CRM: 0000132293' for ExchangeOnline: http://[servername]/PTMEDVSystemeGmbH for delivery through https://autodiscover-red002.mail.emea.microsoftonline.com/ews/Exchange.asmx The request failed with HTTP status 413: request entity too large,

Enabling SSL on IIS 7.0 Using Self-Signed Certificates

SSL enables browsers to communicate with a web-server over a secure channel that prevents eavesdropping, tampering and message forgery.  You should always use SSL for login pages where users are entering usernames/passwords, as well as for all other sensitive pages on sites (for example: account pages that show financial or personal information).

Configuring SSL on Windows with previous versions of IIS has been a pain.  Figuring out how to install and manage a certificate, and then associate it with a web-site, is something I bet most web developers don't know how to enable.


Get rid of the presence information

We realized, that after installing Live Messenger we do not see the Contact/System User icon anymore in our MS CRM system.

Figure 1: Live Messenger

Instead we get this IM presence icon. In 99,9 % it is grey because no one has all the CRM contacts in his Messenger and therefore it is uninteresting for our users.

I now tried to find out how we can turn this off and it is not very easy to find information about this presence information.
