Microsoft CRM IFD The SSL certificate does not contain all UPN suffix values that exist in the enterprise – Cannot Login

Cannot Login to a Previously working Microsoft CRM IFD A previously working IFD deployment of CRM 2016 (but could be CRM 2015 or CRM 2013). About 1 year after you set the system up, you start receiving: An error has occurred. Try this action again. If the problem continues, check the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Community for solutions or contact your organization’s Microsoft Dynamics CRM Administrator. Finally, you can contact Microsoft Support. When researching this error, we suspected what it was, and related to an article we covered here: http://www.interactivewebs.com/blog/index.php/crm-2013/microsoft-crm-2013-or-2015-event-id-1309-adfs-ifd-resolution/ However we never found and EVENT ID 1309 or anything close to that in our logs.

Microsoft CRM global search fails causing in-line search SQL error

CRM in-line search fails with SQL error After upgrading Microsoft CRM from earlier versions we found that the global search function when enabled failed to return any results, and once the index for the global search had run over a 24-hour period, the in-line search function for any entity would cause a crash and SQL error message to be displayed on page. The problem In our particular instance this CRM environment had been upgraded from much earlier versions of CRM and included an attempt to solve some upgrade issues by dropping indexes. Initially our thoughts were that the dropping of the indexes were responsible for the problems. However it appears retrospectively that was a fragmentation of indexes that cause the issue.

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
