CRM 2016 Import Upgrade from CRM 2015 Failure: Timeout expired

CRM 2016 Import  Upgrade from CRM 2015 Failure: Timeout expired On attempting to upgrade a Microsoft CRM Dynamics 2015 Database to CRM 2016 (without service pack) you receive a Failure: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.. This happens at the System Check stage. There are a bunch of suggestions online from earlier releases of CRM like 4.0 etc suggesting that you may need to change the timeout settings on the settings with some DWord changes in the registry. In this case it is not the cause. Cause Microsoft has again released an initial version of their software with some significant bugs. The biggest of these being that you cannot import your CRM 2015 database to upgrade to CRM 2016 if it has a Full Text Catalogue. Something that is likely if you have been using the improved searching functions of… Read More »CRM 2016 Import Upgrade from CRM 2015 Failure: Timeout expired

The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed Hyper-V Server

The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed When playing around with some Hyper-V servers that have been inactive for some time, we received an error: The cause of this is due to the fact that Active Directory is doing a lot more than simple user name and password storage. We found that a Hyper-V system that remains off for some time, then is turned on again can suffer this. The reason for this has to do with the way that some applications use the Active Directory. Take Exchange Server, for example. Exchange Server stores messages in a mailbox database residing on a mailbox server. However, this is the only significant data that is stored locally on Exchange Server. All of the Exchange Server configuration data is stored within the Active Directory. In fact, it is possible to completely rebuild a failed Exchange Server from scratch (aside… Read More »The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed Hyper-V Server
