Last Friday, while working with one of our clients on an integration issue between Dynamics and the Microsoft Exchange global address book, he asked me if there was a way for them to have automated creation of events (calendar items) in their Microsoft Outlook calendar where the source of the data was an Excel spreadsheet in OneDrive. This is a short post, but might help someone out who needs to implement this.
Towards the end of June, Microsoft announced that the Microsoft Dynamics CRM/365 Outlook client will be deprecated in a future release. The Legacy Outlook client has been around since early versions of Dynamics CRM. The deprecation of the Outlook client does not mean that this is happening immediately, but is planned for the next Major Release (version 10). Version 9.0 is on the way, and the Outlook client will still be included, but with no additional features or enhancements.
We recently got a request from a client that wanted to prevent modifications of Contacts from the Outlook Client back to CRM.
We went back and forth trying to implement this with security roles and other options, but none of the solutions were perfect.
This is a known issues and happens usually when new products get released.
The Anti-Virus email scanner add-in for the new release of the e-mail program is not supported and thus prevents e-mails from going out and crashes the new application.
When trying to install the Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook client on a Terminal Services computer, the following error is received:
“Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 for Outlook cannot be installed on a computer where Microsoft Exchange Server versions prior to Exchange Server 2007 are installed.”
