CRM 3 Cannot add a user and general troubleshouting

Here are some CRM 3 basics when troubleshooting the following:

1. CRM not running
2. Cannot add a new user
3. Certain Pages are not displaying properly
   

CRM 3 needs to have a certain user permission for the app pool user, otherwise the app will really struggle. Set the app pool identity to be either your specially created crmadmin account or a specific web user. For that user you need to ensure the following permissions:

• write access to the windows\temp directory
• write access to the .net temporary internet directory
• member of the privusers group from the crm ou

For troubleshooting strange errors, change the web.config for the crm app and make sure that you set the attirbute :



These points should make troubleshooting a LOT easier...good luck!

net shares and login credentials

On Windows 2000, I frequently have issues mapping drives, telling me about security conflicts or that the drive is already mapped even though it isn't any more. To solve this problem, you need to run the following from the command prompt:

net use * /d

List all DTS Packages in a query

Run this SQL against the msdb database:

SELECT DISTINCT name FROM sysdtspackages

Exporting Scheduled Task List to txt

This one works in Xp and also 2003 Server..

From the command prompt type:

schtasks > tasks.txt

The network is not present or is not started

If this happens to one of your XP clients (may also work on 2k and Vista)

1) Browse to your adapater

2) Uninstall File and Print sharing for Microsoft Networks

3) Click OK etc...

4) Browse to the adapter again, install File and Print Sharing

Everything should now be working again! Obviously if this happens a lot, then there is a bit of an issue here, however corrupt file and print sharing does seem to occur every once in a while.

The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing.

In Reporting Services 2005 for some reason, you sometimes get this error:

The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing. (rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable) Get Online HelpSQL Server does not exist or access denied.

Along with a reference to not having named pipes installed.

To fix it, just run the following command:

rsconfig -c -sMyServerName -dReportServer -awindows -uDomain\Account -pMyPassword
