We recently got into a situation where a client wanted to have a view that will display all the records of all the users that belong to the same team as the logged in user. Originally we thought it would be easy, but it happens to be slightly more complex.
Our CRM Exchange Sync tool has just been released, now with additional functionality and support for additional environments.
Many times we encounter an external application that requires a solution to be installed in your CRM environment, but it might not be there or we might require to upgrade an existing solution.
Windows 10 has been released, and Microsoft offered a free upgrade to licensed Windows 7 and Windows 8 users. Windows 10 ships with a new browser called Microsoft Edge, which introduces some great new features and let go of some older capabilities of Internet Explorer. These changes will require CRM to be updated.
CRM 2013 has a new feature that allows displaying Posts, Notes and Activities within a single control (using the Updated Forms). We can easily add this new control to the form by clicking on the Notes ribbon icon on the Insert Tab of the Form Customization.
When configuring ADFS in your own local the default login of any user authenticating into the environment would be user@domain.local or something of that sort. At many times, especially when working with multiple applications, we would like the user to authenticate using different login credentials such as user@mynewdomain.com. In order to implement this, we can add suffixes that gives us the ability to user a friendly logon name that is not the same as the domain or parent’s domain name.
When configuring Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 to your Claims based Authentication a Authentication Required dialog box appears every 20 minutes.
By default the security token lifetime for claims–based authentication deployment using ADFS 2.0 (or above) is 60 minutes, however the token expiration dialog box will appear 20 minutes before the actual expiration.
After importing a managed solution and making changes to the environment by removing some of the out-of-the-box views for the Contact or Account entity, we encounter an error if we ever try to delete the managed solution. The error is “State code or status code is invalid” or 1 is not a valid status code for state code…”
With the recent introduction of the next release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013, originally code-named Orion and the new videos that are now available on the Microsoft Partner Training site, the future looks very interesting.
The next version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Dynamics CRM 2013, scheduled to be released this fall will include a new licensing scheme.
The hosted product is scheduled for release with three licensing options.
