    The Microsoft CRM Asynchronous Processing Service will not start (actually, the message says it started and then stopped). I have tried iisreset, then restarting the service, and have also rebooted the server and trying to restart the service, but no luck.

     

    Some additional info: The database and application were both housed on separate servers. They have since been migrated to different separate servers. The correct server name is properly reflected in the DeploymentSettings table.

     

    Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks.

    Hi MC81,

    From my original post:

    Hi MC81,

    Could you please analyze through the event viewer to see whether there is any error message occured when restarting the Asynchronous Service ?

    There is the standard event that logs the fact that I am trying to start the service, then there is the event that is the second event posted in my opening question.

     

    I managed to resolve the issue using a couple of bandaids in the MSCRM_CONFIG database. In the crmkeyproperties table, there was a row with a column header of Expires On that had an date field with a date of 12/30/2008. I change the date, I can access CRM. Also, in the server table, the new database server and application server are not listed, just the old servers I migrated from. I added the application server information and gave it a GUID that was similar to the other entries, and now the service will start and stay started.

     

    I am not confident that these steps would normally have to take place in order for the system to run after a migration from servers to servers. Any thoughts on why these steps needed to be done?

    The best solution for this would probably be to make sure that the correct deployment prodecures took place. The best article I found and have worked with since is at the link below:

    http://blogs.inetium.com/blogs/tedh/archive/2008/03/05/improved-process-for-redploying-microsoft-dynamics-crm-4-0.aspx

    This should clean up just about everything.

    Hey MC81,

    I had the same scenario as you. We migrated CRM to another environment. It's strange our CRM migration appeared to work but then stopped the next week. I am assuming services restarted and could not restart again. My crmkeyproperties record had a valid expires on date, but only the old servers were listed in the server table. I renamed one server name record to the correct server and then deleted the other entries. CRM started successfully. I also updated the DeploymentProperties table for the ADSdkRootDomain and ADWebApplicationRootDomain to have a NVarCharColumn of the new server.

    Cheers!
