    When installing Microsoft CRM 2011, I get the following error:

    Action Microsoft.Crm.Setup.Server.AddServerAction failed. Exceeded column length: Column Name


    Server Software:
    Windows Server 2008 R2 standard
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (Native mode, SRS installed too)

    What can I do to fix this?

    Thanks!

    I fixed it.  It turns out that my AD domain name was too long.  Once I reinstalled the AD Domain Services with a shorter name, it worked.

    Hi,

    I actually viewed that and it did not work for me.  Do you have any other solutions?


    Thanks!

    Please can you add the complete information regarding this failure from event viewer or installation logs that would be appreciated.

    Hi,

    got sam error. But after "abort" the installation my crm is totaly "broken". There are no links in start menu or dekstop, starting setupserver.exe again do nothing, click on "uninstall/change" in "programs and features" do nothing ???

    So, now i cannot start, repair or uninstall the crm server 2011. What have you done?

    Windows Server 2008 SP2 (x64)

    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP3 (x64)
