Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 online (AD requirements)

Hi all,
we are currently looking to setup a CRM 2015 online environment.
I tried looking in the Technet articles but couldn't find an answer.
Do we need to forsee Active directory groups (such as PrivUserGroup, SQLAccessGroup,...) like we do for the On premise version?
And do we need to give a license, or does this come with the Office 365 license?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Regards,

Got a call from MS support, its across the entire service. They are working hard to fix meanwhile they provided a work around I am not sure if it will work for everyone but
https://ORGNAME--s.crm4.dynamics.com worked for me. Or variations where --d becomes --s
so that is the normal url https://ORGNAME.crm4.dynamics.com/ you take the orgname and add --d or --s followed by crm4.dynamics.com
Only works in IE
teach a man to fish ... etcetera

Can someone help me on this?
Thanks Chandrabhanu

Hi
DeviceidManager.cs was causing the problem. I used simple codes and it worked.
string CrmConnection crmConnection = CrmConnection.Parse("Url=" + crmserver + "; Username=" + username + "; Password=" + password + ";");
OrganizationService serviceProxy = new OrganizationService(crmConnection);
Thanks Chandrabhanu

Fetch-Xml based report (to count User Access in the last 6 months ) for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online

Hi,
I have created a User Access report for CRM on-premise using SQl query in the following format. One row corresponds to one user in organization. Currently, I am using Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online trial version and have two users in my organization.
I want to the same report for CRM Online environment. Only Fetch-Xml based custom reports are supported by CRM online environment hence this SQL query cannot be used.
I have already written fetch-xml query to retrieve user access records ("audit" entity records) in "last-x-months" (where x = 1,2,3,4,5,6) as below.
I am able to retrieve the records with "last-x-months" condition at a time, for example, the last-2-months in my fetch-xml query only.
For, example, when I retrieve the records in the last-2-months, it also includes the records in the last month. I want to count the records in the 2nd month only that is the difference between these two. The difference will be my 2nd column.
Similarly, I want the other columns.
For the case in the above example, I have created the two separate datasets to get the record-count for the last month and last-2-months. But, I am not able to use the two datasets in the same table in my report and hence not able to calculate the difference.
Is there any way to solve this problem?

Hi,
I have modified my Fetch-XML query to retrieve all the required User Access records and removed aggregation and counting and grouping from the query as well. Did grouping and counting in SSRS. Now the report works fine as shown in the above picture.

Dynamics CRM 2015 Install requires Active Directory on VM Windows 2012 R2 Server

Hello,
I'm trying to install Dynamics CRM 2015 on a standalone VM not connected to a domain (it's running under WIndows 8.1 Professional). The VM was configured using WIndows Server 2012 R2. I'm getting an error message shortly into the install process stating
it needs to access Active Directory.
How can I get around this issue - I just want to Install this CRM on the VM without getting into complicate network/AD issues.
Can you please advise ?
SO many thanks,
John

CRM requires AD no way around that so the most likely solution is to install it on that server or on a VM not connected to your other networks

Error while uploading report in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online

I have created a report using fetch-xml query for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. In this field, I have created a custom enity which has "Last Accessed Date Time" field of type "DateTime". This field stores the value in GTM. I am retrieving
the value of this field using fetch-xml query. Also, I want to calculate the difference between the current DateTime and the value (in the locale and not in GMT) of this field in "Hours Minutes Seconds" format. I
have written an expression for the same in reportas follows.
(IIF(((INT((DateDiff(DateInterval.Second, DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Parse(Fields!new_lastaccesseddatetime.Value), DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime(), DateTime.Now))/60))>60), INT(((((DateDiff(DateInterval.Second, DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Parse(Fields!new_lastaccesseddatetime.Value),
DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime(), DateTime.Now)))/60)) / 60), 0))
& "Hours"&
(IIF(((INT((DateDiff(DateInterval.Second, DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Parse(Fields!new_lastaccesseddatetime.Value), DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime(), DateTime.Now))/60))>60), INT((((DateDiff(DateInterval.Second,DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Parse(Fields!new_lastaccesseddatetime.Value),
DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime(), DateTime.Now)))/60) Mod 60), INT((DateDiff(DateInterval.Second, DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Parse(Fields!new_lastaccesseddatetime.Value), DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime(), DateTime.Now))/60)))
& "Minutes" &
((DateDiff(DateInterval.Second, DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Parse(Fields!new_lastaccesseddatetime.Value),
DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime(), DateTime.Now)) Mod 60)
& "Seconds"
This works fine in visual studio. But, when tried to upload the same report in CRM Online organization, it gives the following error.
Any idea how to solve this issue?

I have found the following useful link-
- support.microsoft.com/.../en-us
The error occurred because I have used some functions("Int", "DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Parse(Fields!new_lastaccesseddatetime.Value), DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime()") in my ssrs report which are not supported by CRM Online., though
it works fine in visual studio.

We have office 365 subscription and we need to merge our Microsoft Dynamics CRM online subscription to office

Hi there,
If you already have two different Microsoft Online services accounts, then this is no easy task. If you sign up for two Microsoft Online services, using two different Microsoft Online services ID's, you basically need to choose which one to throw away, and
then do a migration from one to another.
If you have a lot of data in both of them, you could cross your fingers, and make a Service Request to Microsoft, hoping that they could do some magic for you, or at least tell you which migration track that's the easiest one.
The important part is that you first sign in to the service you want to keep, and then register for a new one using Sign in, in stead of Sign up. This way they are automatically liked to the same Windows Azure Active Directory tenant.
I hope I understood your question, and was able to help you here.

Error while installing the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Report Authoring Extension set up

HI Experts,
I am trying to install Report Authoring extension tool to work with MS CRM 2015 online reports but unable to install, getting below error even though I am having VS 2013, SQL Server 2014 and Data tools for VS 2013 installed on my machine.
Please help me to fix this issue.
When I double click the error getting below error.
Error : Business Intelligence Development Studio is not installed for Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services.
When I click the details , getting below error.
Thanks
Baji Rahaman

The Report Authoring Extensions (any version) don't support VS 2013. Currently the Crm 2015 Report Authoring Extensions support VS 2012 and VS 2010, and the Crm 2013 Report Authoring Extensions supports only VS 2010.
By the way, the error you posted suggests you're trying to install the Crm 2011 Report Authoring Extensions

ECC 6.0 integration with Microsoft Dynamics CRM

Hi All
I am working on a ECC 6.0 integration with Microsoft Dynamics CRM. I need to send the customer master data, va01/va02, vl01n/vl02n/ vf01/vf02 to CRM system. One option I have is to send in the form of IDOC with TRFC - TCP/IP. But looks like this needs a middleware like Biztalk.
Is there a way I can send this data using a Internet service in ECC 6.0 ??? As this would cut the cost of the Biztalk.
I really appriciate your thoughts on this. We don't have XI either.
Thanks a lot
Van

HI Van Dan Jan,
We have just implemented integarion of SAP with Microsoft stack (Microsoft CRM, Share point and Axapta), But in all integration BizTalk as a middleware used.
There is two way requirements :
1. whenever Most of the control are at the Microsoft level like : Customer creation, Creation of orders, which need to be synchronus activity we have used RFC which internally calls BAPI. (So SAP adapter Configured at BizTalk). and whenever Biztalk receives request file from CRM or share point to there location they call SAP RFC's.
2. When DATA is needed from SAP to microsoft stack like to syncronize the missing transaction like customer pad and all.
Scheduled job at BizTalk end which call SAP to get the DATA via RFC mode :
In SAP we have two things
1. if DATA size is small (below 2 MB) like in last 1 hrs what are the sales contract created in SAP that need to updated in Microsoft other system than Biztalk will trigger a job at 1 hr interval or on deemand to get the detail which directly we pick from data base or using BAPI to get the detail via RFC.
2. If Data Size is large (more than 2 MB) like total transation happened in a day for all customers: then we wriiting the data in OS or application server and that job also get initiated from Biztalk end by sending any parameter to SAP.
advantage of using BizTalk is most of the control you can give it to them so they can run there job on deemand basis.
There is a something known as web service we can use to avoid Interfacing tool, but I dont have much Idea about that,
and please check how many interfacing point is there with SAP in your project, because if Interfacing points are more then I think it is not good to write a web services for so many things.
do let me know if you need further information.

CRM 2015 Online, E-mail router performs so slow

Hi,
We are testing staging CRM 2015 Online. Email router for 2015 is installed in an online Windows 2012 server. We set Polling Period(seconds) 60 in Email Router Configuration Manager. However, when I send an e-mail, it takes
more than 20 minutes for the e-mail to arrive in my Gmail Inbox. Checking System Jobs and views regarding sent e-mail, all indicates that the e-mail was sent instantly. What shall I do to improve the Email Router performance? Thanks.

Why are you using the email router if your Exchange Server is also Online? Dynamics CRM Online has Server Sync built in so it will directly communicate to Exchange Online. Much better solution than rolling up an email Router.
Also, if you don't have access to the Exchange server, I' doubt there's much you can do, since you don't have all the tools you need to troubleshoot the issue.

How to improve performance for bulk data load in Dynamics CRM 2013 Online

Hi all,
We need to bulk update (or create) contacts into Dynamics CRM 2013 online every night due to data updated from another external data source. The data size is around 100,000 and the data loading duration was around 6 hours.
We are already using ExecuteMultiple web services to handle the integration, however, the 6 hours integraton duration is still not acceptable and we are seeking for any advise for further improvement.
Any help is highly appreciated. Many thanks.
Gary

I think Andrii's referring to running multiple threads in parallel (see
http://www.mscrmuk.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/data-migration-performance-to-crm.html - it's a bit dated, but should still be relevant).
Microsoft do have some throttling limits applied in Crm Online, and it is worth contacting them to see if you can get those raised.
100 000 records per night seems a large number. Are all these records new or updated records, or are there some that are unchanged, in which case you could filter them out before uploading ? Or are there useful ways to summarise the data before loading

What happens if I don't approve Update to CRM 2015 Online

Hi there
Can anyone help me with this simple question?
What happens if I don't approve the automatic Upgrade to CRM 2015 Online?
Blogs tell me, that the Org is not being updated. That's ok, but what are my options afterwards?
Let's say I let the automatic Update pass by not approving it and in 10 month I would still like to get the upgrade. Can I still get an automatic upgrade at a later point of time?
Thanks for your help.
I posted the same question here: https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/t/152185.aspx
but received no reasonable feedback.

Hi Tobi,
I don't know what you mean for "reasonable feedback", but as I wrote in the other post, at a certain post you will not able to delay the upgrade and your instance will be updated automatically to CRM 2015. And as the other user wrote, the deadline
is end of June of this year.

Do you have support to integrate echosign with Dynamics CRM 2015, If Not, When it will be possible.?

Do you have support to integrate echosign with Dynamics CRM 2015, If Not, When it will be possible?

Hey Mantas,
Do not expect that feature any time soon. I do not even see that being a feature this year.
Considering all that is going on and required to be finished and sorted a lot more is/will need to be done.
In terms of what you can do I have done things like used the refer a friend form which you can style and use that to send emails out to the needed people. I have submitted multiple web forms with ajax etc as well.
You have the custom fields for the people and emails (if not you can add them) and you can use those to send emails off to people, you just do not have a workflow so your not pestered with it but the notification message is the one that goes out and can have a template applied.
So there is a number of things you can do to get that going along those lines. I have done a few variations of this on different sites.
Warning note though - Ajax submission for custom web forms has a total character limit (all fields) of 1024 characters, which is not a lot.
