    For the sandbox service account I have to give read & write access to the local user AppData folder, e.g. C:\Users\SandboxService\AppData. However, this folder does not actually exist as I created the user on the domain controller. Am I just supposed to login to the local computer with the service account name so the directory is being created and I can give read & write access to it? Also does it need anything else like modify rights?

    Further I should give read & write access to the folder \Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Trace. However, that folder does not exist since I am still in the process of installing CRM when I need to define the user. I assume it's ok to just give these access rights after the installation of CRM. Is this correct? I think the only exception might be for SPN which I believe needs to be done before installing CRM.

    Hi

    The folder C:\Users\SandboxService\AppData will be created as soon as you assign a service account to a service & start that service - after that you will be able to give the appropriate permissions (Chances are that they will be already assigned correctly)

    Yes you can give this access rights later - regarding the SPN (i think i answered you in a seperate post?) you do not need to give it before installing - missing SPN for the sandbox service won't crash the installation - CRM will work just fine but you might have issues with sandbox configured plugins if you do not set the SPN corectly

    Good Luck

    TZ00KI, indeed the directories were created for these users while installing CRM. In addition, the access rights were also set. Neat! I guess it probably also would have set the access rights on the registry keys which I did manually (for some reason the registry already existed. I assume it's created very early on while you still go through the screens and before the actual installation).
