Error Installing CRM4.0 Trail

Hi all,

I am trying to get the trial version of MS CRM 4.0 installed and I am constantly getting errors when it is trying to create the config database. I am not sure why...does anyone know what causes this issue? We are installing everything on an isolated machine that is its own domain controller and AD provider and everything is installed under the Administrator account. All not good for security I know but its just for trail purposes. It seems as if it is trying to see if a user exists in the domain, but since everything is happening as Administrator i'm not sure what user it would be looking for and not finding. I didn't see anything in the install guide about having to create special users for the install.

I've not met this problem before, but it looks like the error occurs when it's trying to create the SQL Agent Jobs. I'd use SQL Profiler to try and work out what it's doing at this point

After talking to MS Support we figured out that it was because we have had a failing DC in our AD that haven't been removed properly. If you run the script below using cscript on the computer you want to install CRM on then it will tell you the names of the DCs in the domain.

Code Block

On Error Resume Next

Const ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE = 2

Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")

strConfigurationNC = objRootDSE.Get("configurationNamingContext")

Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

Set objCommand =   CreateObject("ADODB.Command")

objConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"

objConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider"

Set objCommand.ActiveConnection = objConnection

objCommand.Properties("Page Size") = 1000

objCommand.Properties("Searchscope") = ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE

objCommand.CommandText = _

    "SELECT ADsPath FROM 'LDAP://" & strConfigurationNC & "' WHERE objectClass='nTDSDSA'"

Set objRecordSet = objCommand.Execute

objRecordSet.MoveFirst

Do Until objRecordSet.EOF

    Set objParent = GetObject(GetObject(objRecordset.Fields("ADsPath")).Parent)

    WScript.Echo objParent.CN

    objRecordSet.MoveNext

Loop

Mine returned two DCs but only one of them was actually powered on. The other was removed a year ago, but apparently not correctly in AD. I (with a little help from a supporter) removed the failing DC according to this article and then CRM installed perfectly...

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3BEN-US%3B216498

I really hope this will help you guys, becasue I've spend a lot of time on this...

Best Regards

Imran

Humm, I could try the SQL profiler but it really looks like an issue with it trying to resolve a username via AD. I am just not sure why it would fail since the only user involved is Administrator.

Also I saw that double domain controller item before that is not the case here however. I only show one domain controller and that is the local machine. Nothing else appears.

Here is the output from it:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop>cscript script.vbs

I'm running into the exact same problem with a similar system setup (only one domain controller). I have a Microsoft Support Ticket open for this, but they have yet to find a solution.

Great, make sure to stop back and let me know when they figure it out. In the meantime i'll see if I can try a few things. But since I have no idea what the installer is doing it hard to guess at what might be wrong.

I am running into the exact same issue - Trying to deploy 4.0 on a single server(work group edition) and I get the same exact mesage. Please post the solution once you hear back from Microsoft.

Thanks

Looking at the error message, I wonder if the problem is that the admin account hasn't been assigned a mailbox in AD.

I really thought that was it since my Administrator account was completely undefined. But unfortunately I still get the same message even after adding my first, last, and display names as well as email address into the profile.

Or did you mean something other than just entering a value into the email field?

That was all I was thinking of, unfortunately. Given that CRM 4.0 doesn't depend on Exchange, I can't see how or why it would try validating the email address.

The only other thing I can think of is the ensure that the service accounts used by CRM and SQL Server are in the Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access group in AD (if you use system or network service then add the machine account). I'd also reboot after making this change

Well, I tried adding the domain controller(its the only computer in the AD) and the Administrator accounts into the pre group. It doesn't seem to have helped. Just to make sure i'll try using the Administrator account instead of net services in the install to see if that makes a difference. I'll try that one out on Monday.

Tried using the Administrator account and not the net services account. I still get the same error.

I wonder if there is some way to watch my local AD server and see what is being querried that might shed some light on things.

Some other items I have tried...

I created a new OU in the domain and tried to install there. A failure.

Also I thought perhaps there was a problem with no named users in the system so I created a new named user in the just created OU and tried to install. A failure.

I then thought perhaps it did not like the Administrator account so I logged out and logged in as the new named user to try the install. A failure also.

At this point I am out of ideas I have no idea what it is trying to do here. Short of reverse engineering the installer I am not sure what else I can do to figure out what it is trying to check in the AD that is failing.

Have you tried to physically unplug the server from the network? We did that and skipped the email server setup and that seemed to have fixed it for us.

We gather that the installer had some conflicts with the other isolated development machines on our network (all of which were their own domain controllers with the same name).

Our NT admin figured it out. I am not sure why the problem did not appear earlier in the install but here it is. The issue was that the server in question was setup to use another server as its DNS host. Because the host was isoldated from the network the name entry for the host we were installing on was not in the DNS. All that was required was to install DNS services on the domain controller box and then set them to be updateable and everythign worked as expected.

Could you please explain in layman terms - I know very little about networking and DNS..

How can I "install DNS services on the domain controller " - I used dcpromo to upgrade the server to DC- what else do I need to do?

DNS is one of the networking services that you can install from Add/Remove Windows Components. However, you shouldn't need to install it manually. I'd expect you are in one of the 2 following scenarios:
1. Your CRM server is connected, and will stay connected to the rest of the network. In this case, when you ran dcpromo it would have used the DNS server as identified in your current network settings, and as long as you remain connected to that server all should be fine
2. Your CRM server will be isolated from the rest of the network. In this case it will need to be its own DNS server. The easiest way to do this is to stop the machine being a domain controller (I think you can do this by rerunning dcpromo), remove the DNS entry from the TCP/IP properties of all adapters. Then rerun dcpromo and you will be given the option of the dcpromo process installing and configuring DNS for you

Hi

Had the same issue on Win2k8. DNS was wrongly configured. Instead use external DNS server on DC I replaced DNS setting in tcp/ip to local DC through IP. Then I confirmed that in DNS service forwarder is set to external DNS system (ISP side) and I reinstalled CRM. This time everything was fine.

Thanks for the tip.

This is a very well known problem with CRM 4.0 installs.

MS needs to fix the installation "requirement" tool to check this first before the installation continues. I've seen numerous posts on this issue yet it continues to go ignored by MS.

Hi ErykG77

I have the same problem with Win2k8 x64. The server was installed as DC in a new DEMO Domain as the First DC in a new forest. The DNS was installed during the installation procedure of Win2k8 running DC Promo at the end of the installation. During installation the Network Connection was established (not unplugged!)

May be the Network Connection during Iinstallation forces a wrong dns configuration? - I don't know.

As you can read i am a DNS configuration "Dummy" i never did that bevore.

I looked around in the DNS Manager to find out where i can check the required settings as you wrote in your post

Where can i replace the DNS setting in tcp/ip to local DC throug IP ?

Where do i confirm in DNS service forwarder the external DNS system (ISP side) setting ?

Thanks for your tip and have a nice Week !

Regards

Hi,

First you need to configure your TCP/IP settings. Please go to Network Connections right click LAN connection and go to properties. Next got oTCP/IP v4 configuration and make sure that:

- you are using static IP

- on General tab "Use teh following DNS Settings" is checked and you entered your local DC IP address (I assume this is AD with one DC at this stage if not you need to specify ip address of your DC where DNS is installed).

Thes second thing is that you need to go to Administrative Tools and there should be something with "DNS" in name. Sorry I can't provide you exact names as now I don't have access to Win2k8. As far as I remember you need to go to your default zone and open properties for this zone. There should be properties for forwarders and there you need to specify io address of external DNS system which will host DNS queries outside of your organization (if domain is connected to Internet it will be usually dns ip provided by your ISP).

Let me check exact place for DNS setting at evening when I will back to home.

Best Regards

same problem here.
i have solved, selecting the organisation unit "domain controllers" during the installation of the crm. If you create a new ou and select that for installing the users of crm it will not works and you will get the error message.

Now i have another problem. the snap in of crm crashes and i think it's a permission issue.
any idea ?

Just adding some details:

DNS snapin is located in administrative tools and it's called DNS. In this snap-in you need to expand the tree to see the DNS servername, right click this name and go to properties. To configure forwarders you need to add external dns name in Forwarders tab.

HI,

Which account you specified during installation? Could you check first occurence of ERROR event in installation log and post it here? PLease also execute ipconfig /all on domain controller and post the result.

Besst regards,
Eryk

Really, the problem arises from the DNS, it seems curious...
So, my problem is solved !!
