    I am trying to use Dynamics CRM Build Tools created by Wael Hamze to Export my 2015 CRM solution using Powershell.

    More specifically I am using Publish Customizations which seems to work fine, and Export Solution.

    I am getting the error Export-XrmSolution : Unrecognized request parameter: ExportExternalApplications

    Even when I remove the parameter ExportExternalApplications  from the powershell call I still get the same message.

    Is it because of my version of CRM? I was told this would work on CRM 2015.

    Hello Dave,

    I used that framework in couple of projects but I can't consider myself as an expert in this tool. I would suggest to get in touch with author - https://github.com/WaelHamze/xrm-ci-framework/issues and ask for a help.

    Hi Dave,

    I underwent the same issue you have mentioned above.

    And as you said, I removed the ExportExternalApplications parameter and still the same error.

    Did you resolve it?

    Thanks,

    I'll be honest I can't remember how I got rid of that specific error. There were a bunch of issues along the road to getting it to work. The connection string was a challenge to get right. Once I got it correct everything worked great.

    On my VSTS Build I called the Powershell script ExportSolution.ps1 from the CRM build tools.

    Passing the following arguments: (Variable values are below)

    -CrmConnectionString "$(ConnectionString)" -SolutionName "COMPASSDevelopment" -ExportSolutionOutputPath $(Build.StagingDirectory) -ExportIncludeVersionInSolutionName 0

    ConnectionString = "ConnString: Url=$(CRMServerURL); Username=$(UserName); Password=$(Password); AuthType=IFD; RequireNewInstance=True;"

    CRMServerURL = "https://server.company.com/CRMDEV"

    I hope this helps.
