AnswerCan not create/modify existing users on CRM

  • Saturday, October 24, 2009 10:03 PMYojan Users MedalsUsers MedalsUsers MedalsUsers MedalsUsers Medals
     

    Hello all,

    We have a CRM application to which we restaure its data base - XXX_MSCRM to do a migration activity - custom logic.
    But all users that exist preivously are not working properly.

    So if they are changed to a new user - no existent previously - it is done perfectly - however if that is changed again to the older user ... it gives an error

    How can I know what the real error is ?

    any idea ?

    Thanks againg guys ...

    I've seen this before in CRM 3.0 environments and there was a registry dword and setting to fix it.

    Basicly the problem is that the first DC in the forest could not be resolved so the registry tweek reduces the high awareness of CRM to the forest. 
    If you run netdiag from a CLR prompt you may get some information about how your application server is communicating with the AD forest.

    Here is the registry tweek.


    1. Click Start, click Run, type Regedit, and then click OK.
    2. Locate the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM
    3. Right-click MSCRM, point to New, and then click DWORD Value to create a
    "New Value #1" value.
    4. Right-click New Value #1, and then click Rename.
    5. Rename the value VerifyDomainName.
    6. Double-click VerifyDomainName.
    7. In the Value data box, enter 0.
    8. Click OK.
    9. On the File menu, click Exit.
    10. Open CRM and add user again.

    Can you provide a little more detail about what exactly is failing and what you have tried?
