AVAILABLE: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 RTM VPC

February 4, 2008 15:27 by menno

We have released Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 back in December 2007 and did not immediately provide you with a new VPC. Why did it takes this long? I don't know, but I can tell you that as of today we have a new VPC with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 RTM on it. I actually did not built this particular VPC, a partner did. However, I did provide feedback and ideas what needed to be on this new VPC and did intensive BETA testing.

Ok I see you think, now tell me what is on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 VPC Menno! It actually has a ton of software on it, which some of you might like, and some of you might not. For the ones that don't want to read further, you can download it here

The RTM VPC Contains the following:

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 (RTM)
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Desktop Client
Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition (SP2)
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Internet Explorer 7
Microsoft Office Professional 2007
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
Microsoft Performance Point Server
Microsoft Office Communication Server
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
POP3 E-Mail Services (No Exchange)
English, French, German, Danish and Dutch Language packs

This partner-ready download includes account and contact trial data and is ready to be populated with locale-specific data via the associated demonstration tool. Once complete, please copy the Demonstration tool to the virtual machine, and follow the instructions to populate activity, opportunity and other entity data and e-mails in Outlook. Refer to the demonstration documentation for detailed information.

For example, you may create seed data in any language to create opportunities, activities, cases, etc. that will be randomly assigned to the existing accounts.
You may also enter seed data for e-mail generation. Random e-mails (using your seed subject and message data) will be created using the contacts found in the existing contacts list.

Thanks for the scoop Michael!

I have been working with the image and already did several demos with it. I think it is great what was done with Performance Point Server.

This week I wanted to create a workflow that would send an email to the Administrator so that I can show email workflow from the image.

The workflow works but the email doesn't arrive in the mailbox.

I get a buble, from the task tray CRM icon that says:

"One or more emails in Microsoft Dynamics CRM are waiting to be sent. To allow Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook to send these emails, go to options from the CRM drop-down menu and review your email integration settings."

Then I go to options, change the settings, then click OK and nothing happens.

I can change any of the values in options and click OK but nothings happen and there are no messages in the event viewer.

Then if I hit cancel then it crashes and want to send an error report.

Has anyone else have this problem, is there a fix ?

Thanks

I actually re-config the client using the Microsoft.Crm.Client.Config.exe and now it works.

I have the same problem as you Stephane, when trying to change the email options. Everything just stops.

But I didn't quite understand how you worked it out. Could you please explain?

Thanks

Trond, you can do two things. Either go to Start/Programs/Microsoft Dynamics CRM and use the wizard like Stephane did or just simply open up the same dialogue using the webclient (tools/options) and enable it from there. Good luck

Thanks a lot! I runned the configuration wizard and it seems fine

But I can't see this option (allow crm to send email using outlook) availble in the webclient Tools/Option.

Has anyone successfully configured the incoming pop3 email settings for the outlook in the CRM 4.0 Demo VPC? If yes, could you please share it? Thanks.
