how to create a seperate crm instances on a crm server?

Question
-
Hi All, I want to create a seperate crm instances on a single CRM server.Generally in our company we have to maintain three types of environments( that means server) in CRM.Those are Development, Testing and Production.I know these concepts, but i don't know how to create these seperate instances on a CRM server.Right now i have a chance to work on these. This is my challenging task. Can we create these seperate instances on single CRM server or multiple CRM servers. For creating these instances we need CRM Admin previleges or not. Please let me know what is the procedure to create seperate crm instances.
Thanks & Regards, SudhakarThursday, February 10, 2011 6:14 PM

You can use CRM Deployment Manager to create a new CRM organization. But you need to have an enterprise license to do so, CRM server professional license allows up to one CRM organization.
Creating a new CRM organization in CRM deployment manager is a pretty easy job, it would take roughly 10-20 minutes to finish if you have got everything right.

Hi Sudhakar,
As Daniel said you can create new organization using Deployment Manager, You should be a member of Deployment Administrators group to use Deployment Manager.

I think you are going to have difficulty installing more than one instance on a single app server: the deployment manager uses registry settings to know which CRM database to connect to.
We use VMs for app servers and multiple instances of SQL server on our database server to achieve Dev, Test, Prod separation.
