    Hi, sorry in advance as I'm not a specialist, but in the Customer Portail Deployment Guide to Azure (v2), step 9 says : "Copy all files and folders from the CustomerPortal folder of your Customer Portal for Microsoft Dynamics CRM setup package to the location on your web server for your portal."

    Does it meen that I have to copy the CustomerPortal folder to an Azure Storage Account ? If yes, how would you recommend to do? I installed Azure Storage Explorer and tried to upload the CustomerPortal folder already, but with that tool I can only upload file and not folders...

    Thanks for your help

    Good to know that. With regards to your question on completing step 8d and e, we can skip those steps now, so that makes the process shorter. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any more questions.

     

    Thanks,

    Maria

    Hi Romain,

    Sorry that step is a bit misleading. It just means you need to copy the files to somewhere on your disk so that you can point visual studio at the location. If you are ok with where it is currently stored on your machine, you can skip this step. We will fix the instructions with the next update.

    Thanks

    Hi Romain,

    May I know your connection string format? That might be the issue.

    Hi, I am experiencing the same problem about https://live.azure.com I can't find that address. Besides that, I have Windows 8 with Visual 2012 and it seems I need Visual 2010, do I need to have the side by side? Do I also need IIS to deploy the portal on Azure to connect to CRM Online. Another thing is about the connection string, and the whole WLID as I am provisioning the CRM Online instance from an Office365 trial, to showcase integration. Do I need to take special care with this setup?

    Thanks in advance!
    Willie.
