CRM 2011 is on the Exchange 2007 box (Server 2008 64 bit) and SSRS is on the SQL 2008 and Report server box along with the Email Router (Server 2008 64 bit). Report services is configured and available via http and Rollup 6 is installed on both the CRM Server and the SSRS and Email Router server. The database is created in SQL during the install but deployment manager shows the organization as failed and trying to look at the orgainzation's properties blows up the MMC.

System.Exception: Action Microsoft.Crm.Tools.Admin.ProvisionBusinessAction failed. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: A referral was returned from the server.I have tried installing CRM on another server, I have uninstalled and re-installed everything several times.

Hi John,
Have you tried it with the latest CRM rollup updates? The last rollup update is the number 7 and can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=29221

Yes of course I did. The Rollup level doesn't matter, the error is the same.

I think you are not added in previlage groups
1.you should be deployment administrator.
2.you should be domain administrator.
and also added in
- PrivUserGroup
- SQLAccessGroup
- ReportingGroup
- PrivUserReportingGroup
these groups check with it .. then try creating organisation ... hope this will help you ...

I'm facing similar problem. I can't create new users in CRM and add new organizations. I get "A referral was returned from the server" Exception on GetGuidFromSid(). Look at my post. I've no solution on this yet, but I'm keep searching. This can be an issue with DomainController. Some links:

for me the solution was deleting TAPI3Directory naming context in our DC.Tuesday, April 24, 2012 9:37 AM
