  you are assigning all record from "A" to "B". I assume "A" is no longer needed. In such case, disable "A" User.

  Yatin is right, from a crm point of view (so, knowing your customers, the interaction with them), it is not a good point to delete data, so Dynamics CRM doesn't allow you to delete user. But you can deactivate it.

  I want to reassign all the records from "A" to "B" and delete "A" and reassign records back to "new A" from "B"

  They above scenerio will be the only solution for my Excel Export. As it is working for all the users as they also having very similar permissions/roles/Business Unit/manager

  You cannot delete a user from CRM. you can only disable them.

  But if you really need to delete an users

  • Delete the user from AD.
  • Run Deployment Manger and then do the user mapping.

  This solution is not recommended to be done on the production environment.

   

  Thanks,

  satish,

  1. Assign All the records from "A" to "B".
  2. Disable "A".
  3. Export the records.
  4. Create "new A" user.
  5. Reassign to "new A".

  Hi Friends,

        Thanks all for your replies,

  I got the Solution.

  Wat I did is, I created dummy users called "B","C"

  and I assigned all records from "A" to "B".

  Updated "A"  <domain>\<emp Id >    with "C" <domain>\<emp Id >

  and renamed "B" <domain>\<emp Id >  with  actual "A"  <domain>\<emp Id >

  assigned all the records from "B" to "new A"

  Here my Export to Excel Solution Works....
