    Hi Tech Friends,

    I have Outlook Client for MSCRM 2011 installed. It works fine for live ID MSCRM Online accounts. But when I try to connect to new MSCRM Online accounts which use Office 365, I get below error. My credentials are correct. But it does not connect at all. I have also tried restarting Windows Live Sign In Assistant Service. But it did not help.

    I raised Microsoft support request and got it resolved.

    For some reason it does not work if we type the Office 365 URL. Instead I had to select "MSCRM Online" option from drop down. With this change it worked.

    However, typing URL works for liveid based MSCRM Online instances.

    Hi Wilson,

    I tried all above steps. Still no change! Live ID based MSCRM online accounts connect perfectly fine. But Office 365 based MSCRM Online accounts dont connect. I still get the same error message. May be I should raise a MS support ticket?

    I am using Windows 7 with MSCRM 2011 For Outlook 2010. As stated earlier, I have problem connecting to Office 365 only.

    Steps I have tried: Installing Live Assistant latest (link given above), Installing Rollup 11 for Client, restarting services, and other steps mentioned above.

    Result: No change so far. It continues to work for LiveId MSCRM Online and does not work for Office 365. The error message is the same.
