  • Outlook 2013 with Dynamics 2013 CRM Plugin extremely slow

    I have recently upgraded my Dynamics CRM server from 2013 to 2013 SP1
    All of my user machines (VDI) have office 2013 with the Dynamics CRM 2011 plugin installed (I previous had Dynamics CRM 2011 on a seperate server, but 2013 was released before we set it up and so I removed the old 2011 server).
    The website has a GlobalSign SSL against it and runs fine internally and externally. I also have a terminal server running Server 2012 with Outlook 2013 and the Dynamics CRM 2011 plugin and this also runs fine.
    My machine was running fine but I decided to upgrade the Outlook plugin to 2013 and that's where my problems started. I removed the 2011 plugin (and even followed the detailed guide on how to completely remove it) and then installed the 2013 plugin.
    It installed fine but when I use it, it is ridiculously slow. For example, I highlight an email and then click "Track" in the tool bar. What should happen is the little icon of the blue/green people should appear next to it and then the options for
    "Convert To" text should be available, but they are not. The button at the top changed to read "Untrack" but that's it, making it completely unusable. If I go an make a tea, and then come back and then go an make another tea, sometimes
    it will have updated by the time i get back, but generally it does not. I can close and re-open outlook and still the icon does not display next to the email. Interestingly although the button at the top reads "Untrack" which indicates that it is
    being tracked, the pane at the bottom reads "This email is not being tracked in CRM".
    Now, if I logon to the terminal (RDS) server (that I mentioned above) everything works fine and Outlook updates immediately, all the machines are on the same VLAN and so I should be able to rule out firwall issues (that terminal server is still running the
    2011 plugin) so that would indicate that this is a problem with my machine. I created a fresh machine and installed that same applications and the same problem was had, so that now indicated that its a problem with the plugin perhaps or something very specific
    to my setup.
    I had tried to download and install SP1 for Dynamics CRM 2013 for Outlook but on 2 separate machines I received the same error when installing
    The log for my attempt last night shows:

    I also tried manually installing Rollup 2 before installing SP1 but I still get the same error.
    Now I'm not sure if the Outlook plugin update is going to fix the problem, so as it stands I have 2 problems:
    Very very slow Outlook CRM Plugin when updating emails and icons
    Cannot install 2013 CRM SP1 for Outlook
    So, I'm stumped, and this is really holding me back. I will post any updates here, but if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

    I have Outlook 2013 with the CRM 2013 Outlook client and it was running fine until about a week ago.  I ran windows update and suddenly everything stopped working. I am going to try to uninstall all the updates until I determine which one is the cause
    of the problem.  It would be nice if MS tested before releasing updates...

  • Is LiveCycle ES4 compatable with Office 2013?

    My network was recently upgraded to Microsoft Office 2013 and I have a LiveCycle user that reports she can no longer import documents from Word.  She is still able to create a document from scratch though.  We have un-installed and re-installed both Office and LiveCycle on her machine.  She is the only LiveCycle user I have, so I am unable to tell if it's an issue with her machine or with Office 2013.  Are there any known compatablilty issue with LiveCycle ES4 and Word 2013?

    Hello There,
    I am sorry for that but Captivate is not compatible with Office 2013.
    Please check the link for the compatibility between Captivate and Microsoft office: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/microsoft-powerpoint.html
    Hope this helps !

    Hi Raghuramk,
    is the web service is a search query web service? if yes, i suppose sharepoint 2013 already deprecated,
    Search Query web service
    Description: The Search Query web service is deprecated in SharePoint 2013.
    In SharePoint Server 2010, the Search Query web service exposes the SharePoint Enterprise Search capabilities to client applications. This enables you to access search results from client and web applications outside the context of a SharePoint site.
    Reason for change: The Search Query web service is deprecated because the client object model (CSOM) and a new REST-based web service are available for developing Office-wide extensibility scenarios. The CSOM exposes the same functionality
    as the Search Query web service, and a larger set of functionality for stand-alone client applications.

  • Exchange 2007 SP3 RU compatibility with Exchange 2013 lattest CU

    Hi Team,
    I have question, I want to migrate my exchange 2007 to 2013.
    right now exchange 2013 already provide CU7. 
    My question is, is exchange 2013 CU7 compatible with Exchange 2007 SP3 lattest RU (SP3 RU15) ?
    is there any limitation of version if i want to upgrade Exchange 2007 to 2013
    Thanks Before

    Hello,
    The first thing I would say, is that the MINIMUM supported update for Exchange 2007 is SP3 RU 10, so you should be ok with RU15 installed with Exchange 2013 Cu7.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996719(v=exchg.150).aspx
    The second thing I would say, and I am not sure how you're current environment is configured and how you plan on configuring your future environment, but if you are using Public Folders, Exchange 2013 CU7 changes the way public folders are handled during
    coexistence.  I would recommend taking a look at this blog post from The Exchange Team

  • Lync 2010 Compatibility with Office 2013

    Hi Team,
    We are planning to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2013 SP1. But we are planning to retain Lync 2010 in place. Would it cause any compatibility issues with the outlook add-in? Conversation history? on schedule Lync Meeting?
    Thanks,
    V
    Vas

    Those should work, are you upgrading the client to 2013 as well and keeping the 2010 back end server? If so, this is supported and very compatible with a caveat found in this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204672.aspx If you're keeping
    the 2010 Lync client (you don't have to), then you should be fine as well. Nothing will reassure you like a quick test on one of your own machines though. :)

  • Will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with SharePoint 2013 sites hosted in SP2010 compatibility mode?

    We are planning a upgrade of a SP2010 farm to 2013. There has been a bit of customization so we wish to run the old sites on the new SP2013 platform in SP2010 compatibility mode.
    So my question is will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with the old sites hosted in compatibility mode?
    I found a similar query from March 2014 found here 
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/93101/office-web-apps-2010-running-on-sharepoint-2013-for-compatibility-mode-sites/116281#116281 
    Has there been an update released to resolve this
    Cheers D

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you need to know whether Office Web Apps 2013 is working with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode.
    For my test, Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode is working fine.

  • Acrobat XI combine to PDF feature is not working with Office 2013 is there a compatibility issue?

    Tested with Office 2010 and it works fine
    Seems to only be the combine to PDF feature that doesn't work, done updates, tried combining a variety of documents still no joy

    There isn't any compatibility issue with Office 2013 and Combine should work with office 2013 same as it with 2010.
    Can you please tell us some more details so that we can investigate the problem which you are facing:
    1) Please update the exact Acrobat version you are using. This you can find out via "Help -> About Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.." Version should be something like 11.0.x. If it is not 11.0.7, then please update it to 11.0.7 and try again.
    2) Is this problem you faced recently (after some update - Acrobat or OS update) or it never used to work earlier for you?
    3) You mentioned that when combining, it convert first document only. Can you please let us know how many documents you are combining and what are those formats?
    4) Also please update about you environment as well. Is you Operating System and MS Office 32bit or 64bit?
    Thanks,
    Vishal

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

  • Compatibility of TFS 2013's MSSCCI with PowerBuilder 12.5

    Does anyone know if there are any compatibility issues with using PowerBuilder 12.5 and TFS 2013?  We are planning on upgrading our TFS server from 2010 to 2013.  I've seen discussions on PB 12.5 using TFS 2012, and PB 11.5 using TFS 2013.....but
    what about PB 12.5 with TFS 2013?

     Hi Andria, 
    Thanks for your post.
    According the information in
    TFS 2013 MSSCCI Provider download site, the PowerBuilder 12.5 not displays in support products list. So we suggest you use PowerBuilder 11.5 works with TFS 2013 MSSCCI.
    And I noted that you have asked a question about this issue in that download site, please tracking the reply from there. And you can try to install the PowerBuilder 12.5 and TFS 2013 MSSCCI on a test machine to check if there’s any error.

  • Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office 2013 and LabVIEW 2012

    Hello community,
    on this page there is shown the Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office and LabVIEW.
    In our company we use actually LabView 2012 and it works perfectly with MS Office 2010.
    Has anyone ever tried the "Report Generation Toolkit" of LabVIEW 2012 with MS Office 2013? Does it really not work? Has anyone an emirical value for this topic?

    Hi digital_badger,
    as you sure have seen in the link it is not officially supported by NI, which means to you one of the following things:
    1. You could upgrade your LabVIEW and your Report Gerneration Toolkit to Version 2014 and use MS Office 2013
    2. You could just try it with MS Office 2013 which might work but if it's not working you don't get any support from NI.
    Even if someone tried it already and it worked for him does not mean that it will work on your machines. It is possible that on some of your machines it could work but not on others. Their can be a lot of problems while playing around with unsupported setups.
    3. You could leave your setup as it is and stick to your MS Office 2010.

    Hi, I am fairly new to the community.  I recently purchased a IMAC and I have the capability of downloading either the compatible Office 2011 for MAC or Office 2013 and then I guess using Bootcamp to run on my IMAC.  I also want to purchase the Office Project program to use on MAC in bootcamp.  I am looking for a recommendation on whether or not I could should purchase the 2013 Office Suite and use via bootcamp (if that's even possible)... or just get the 2011 compatible version (I've used this in the past on my MacBook Pro with success). 
    For someone who is not that saavy yet with MAC, how easy is it to use the BootCamp system and switch back and forth using the Office program?  Does anyone know if this is even possible with Office 2013?  I saw another thread on this but to be honest there was some bickering going back and forth and I couldn't understand the answer to the question.  Any help would be huge!

    Ah! I feel you.
    Well, bootcamp is fairly simple and automated but does require some extra steps you might not be willing to take... Also it is quite hard-drive taxing since it requires a partition.
    (your harddrive is split between mac and windows)
    Honestly, if you dont need windows for anything id just install office 2011, not much changes except some online things that you can substitute by using google drive or onedrive or any cloud service (even icloud).
    Id say dont bother bootcamping... from what it sounds like (no offense, please) youre not THAT experienced. I mean this just as a point of fact, not as a derogatory statement.
    Bootcamp installs basically look like this.
    Nab a windows disk or iso
    Plug in an 8gb+ usb
    Run bootcamp assistant (straightforward)Pick how much harddrive real estate goes to windows (not less than 30gb please)
    The installation should begin automatically
    Itl ask for a product key, input that.
    Then the "where do you want to install windows" screen will pop up.
    Click the partition (itl be obvious what this is) called BOOTCAMP
    Format it (also obvious, might be inside an options or advanced options folder depending on the windows version)
    Wait.
    Once it boots, bootcamp will pop up and will as you to click next (do so)
    Then itl ask for a reboot (do so)
    Thats it.
    There are many ways to switch what operating system to boot into, one is holding alt on boot (im not going into detail so the rest youd have to ask me for)
    Again, hope that helps.
