Dynamics CRM Supportability and Compatibility Matrix

Thursday, 27 October 2011 10:52

I realized that, again and again, I had to go into the planning guides, rollups guides or others to get the same information about what is supported by which version of Dynamics CRM.
So, I decided to formalize and place it here so all this information is in one place.
I will try to keep it as current as possible following the different product releases.
Note that it only concerns supportability and compatibility versus Dynamics CRM and not of the other products; for example CRM 4.0 did support XP SP2 at release time but while CRM 4.0 is still in general support, XP SP2 itself is now at extended support level.

Note: Since writing that article, I found out a KB Article with the same kind of information, you can find it here

New CRM Whitepaper on deploying between environments

Thursday, 27 October 2011 08:30

Microsoft has released a new whitepaper about Deploying Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 and CRM Online Solutions from Development through Test and Production Environments, you can download it from here.

Actually I am a bit dubious about the section related to workflows references between environments, as there's ways to fully automate this as well but I couldn't find it in the document.

CRM 2011 SDK 5.0.7 is now available

Thursday, 27 October 2011 08:16

In relation to the availability of the Update Rollup 5 earlier this week, an update to the CRM 2011 SDK has been released, you can download it from here.

This update adds a lot (more than 15) sampe codes like  Activity Feeds, Office 365 connectivity, Audit User Access,... so it's really a must have.
Note that the Hands-on labs have been removed from the sdk, but are still accessible from the Developer Training Kit.

CRM 4.0 Rollup 19 has been released

Monday, 10 October 2011 07:48

RU19 for CRM 4.0 has just been released, you can download it from here. 

As it's a cumulative update, it contains all fixes from RU1 to RU18, but here's the list of the specific fixes included 

  • When you use Internet Explorer 9, a blank box is displayed instead of a date control field in a custom CRM form in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0.
  • Compression functionality is not always enabled for calls between Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 client for Outlook and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web Services.
  • Assume that you use RightFax software to create email messages. When you use Microsoft Exchange 2010 to process the email messages, the email messages are not tracked by the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Email Router.
  • Assume that you browse for a marketing list in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0. You open the marketing list. In this situation, when you click Mail Merge, Internet Explorer stops responding.
  • When you have a custom aspx page that uses the openObj() method to open a CRM form in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you receive an error message that states a popup blocker blocks the window. This problem occurs in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 when Update Rollup 1, or a later version, is installed.
  • When you save or update an appointment in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, you receive the following error message:
    You do not have enough privileges to access the Microsoft Dynamics CRM object or perform the required operation.
    Error Code: 0x80048306
  • When you associate a contract with an account in the workflow designer in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, the contract lookup function does not display active contracts for the corresponding customer.
  • Assume that you update an existing contact or an existing account in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and duplicate detection is triggered. In this situation, if the updated record does not contain an associated Address 1 record or an associated Address 2 record, the duplicate detection dialog box stops responding.
  • Assume that you promote an item by using the Set Regarding function in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 client for Outlook and the promotion fails. You correct the failure. In this situation, when you run the Set Regarding function again, the item record is not updated as expected.
  • The time zone is updated for Russia, Kaliningrad and Newfoundland in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0.
  • When you upgrade Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 client for Outlook to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, you receive the following error message:
    Fatal error during installation.
    This problem occurs when you use the Simplified Chinese (CHS) version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 client in Windows Vista.
