    hey all

    we've just installed the offline outlook client (dynamics crm 4, rollup 2 installed on the server and client), everything works fine except when the client clicks on 'go offline' it syncs bunch of things, says completed, then freezes for about 2-3 secodns and says 'an unexpected error occured, please contact your network administrator'

    Here are the details

    Event Viewer
    Error - Initialization of the Microsoft CRM UI failed. Try restarting Microsoft Outlook.

    Error - A problem occured retrieving information from the Microsoft CRM server. Check network credentials and network connections and try again.

    Warning - An unexpected result was returned during Offline Synchronization. Truncating all replicated tables and OfflineQueue table in MSDE.

    RE: 2nd error (authentication...etc) this user can login to the web interface fine, so this error is bogus

    Trace File
    >Pre-Platform Request: Microsoft.Crm.SdkTypeProxy.RetrieveMultipleRequest, OutProcessCrmService Url: http://localhost:2525/MSCRMServices/2007/CrmService.asmx

    ...etc
    >A WebException encountered while trying to read from server. Error Message The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.. Going ahead and reading from file instead.

    That's where the trouble starts, any ideas on where I should look next? I've tried on a new organization to make sure it's not the data, I still get the same error.

    Client machines are fully patched and updated.

    Are there any other add-ins in Outlook? - I've seen Outlook Add-Ins (Mappoint, business card scanner and Microsoft Business Contact Manager) cause interruptions in Outlook/CRM functionality -

    Also have you used the http://blogs.msdn.com/crm/archive/2008/01/22/introducing-mscrm-client-diagnostics.aspx diagnostics tool?

    It might be an error on the server indeed, i.e. a SOAP exception is thrown by the server at the end of the synch process. The next thing to look at would be the trace log on the server side.
